This happened a few weeks ago while I was on a shoot — rushing to capture a low-angle shot of two people walking toward the camera.

We only had about 10 minutes before we had to move on the next location and in the scramble, my lens filter took a hit.

It’s been five years since I last dropped a camera.

While I was a bit frustrated at myself in the moment, I wasn’t too stressed because we had backups on hand, so the rest of the shoot stayed on track (and we still had two days to go!).

For every shoot, I carry:
📸 Backup lenses
📸 Backup cameras
📸 Backup drone

I've found this is especially critical when we’re shooting in remote parts of Australia or on mine sites, where the nearest camera store is hours away, not just a five-minute drive.

Whether it’s a drone crash or a dropped camera, knowing I can keep rolling without missing a beat is key to delivering for our clients.

It’s the little things that make the biggest difference when it counts.

Proud to share this recent project we produced for RWC, showcasing their new range of Tomson hot water valves — an essential part of every household that often goes unnoticed.

What made this project special for us is the focus on quality Australian manufacturing, something I’m passionate about helping to highlight at Pure Gold Films.

By carefully setting the lighting and camera angles, we aimed to convey the reliability and excellence behind the Reliance Worldwide Corporation - APAC and Tomson brand.

Video is such a powerful way to show not just products, but the quality and pride that goes into making them.

We’re thrilled that RWC entrusted us to bring their story to life, and we’re always excited to help other Australian manufacturers do the same.

SafeGauge have developed a series of wireless testing tools that eliminate live work in high risk areas around heavy machinery.

Our team recently enjoyed seeing the tools in action, while filming and producing a series of marketing and case study videos SafeGauge.

These videos and photos will be used at MINExpo, as well as throughout SafeGauge's marketing and advertising for years to come.

We look forward to sharing the completed videos with you soon.

We almost never get asked about this one thing by B2b marketers, but it’s something to consider when creating higher end marketing and corporate comms videos:

🎥 Lenses

The best analogy I can give is that using different lenses are a bit like hearing different accents when we talk.

It’s the same English words. But it sounds a bit different.

Imagine your video sounding like a laid-back Aussie, a smooth-talking American, or an Irish accent so charming that you’d agree to just about anything they’re pitching.

In the same way, different lenses can make the same shot look and feel completely different.

📸 Some lenses give a sharp, high-contrast look.

📸 Other lenses provide a softer, more stylised look.

📸 Some lenses give you that standard corporate look, while other lenses bring a higher-end, cinematic feel.

While lens choice isn’t usually a deal breaker for corporate videos, it’s worth considering if you’re aiming for a distinctive “look” that sets your brand apart from the competition.

Small details like this can make a big difference when crafting standout content for your next series of corporate marketing videos.

Yeah.... Nah? Will your audience even notice?

If you're in corporate B2b marketing, do you think lens choice even matters that much for corporate videos?

I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Flashback to some behind-the-scenes memories from a year ago, when this mighty Liebherr R 9800 was handed over and went to work at Bengalla Mine in the Hunter Valley, NSW.

My team and I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside the Bengalla Mining Company and Liebherr Mining teams to capture all 800 tonnes of this monumental build.

This project involved:
☀️Multiple site visits over the entire assembly
🎥 Video
📸 Still photography
🚁 Drone
⏰ Timelapse
🎙 Interviews

I was proud to create a series of videos and photography to help mark the milestone for them.

Bengalla’s latest new R 9600 has also just been commissioned and started digging this week.

(SOUND ON) 🎙"In the heart of Queensland's mining region, where the earth has been reshaped by industry, a different kind of transformation is taking place…"

We are excited to help MineMend showcase their mine site rehabilitation services through this promotional video we recently produced.

Their service is truly transformative, and it was special for our team to gain insight into the final steps of the mining process during the video shoot.

Their dedication to transforming Queensland's mining landscapes is both impressive and inspiring.

Pure Gold Films is proud to highlight their capabilities and continue our support of the mining industry in QLD.

MineMend is just one of our clients exhibiting at this week’s Queensland Mining Expo (QME), and the Pure Gold Films team will be there too. See you in Mackay!

Watch fully autonomous Cat haul trucks and drill rigs in action. Our team recently worked with Hastings Deering and Thiess to produce this video showcasing Cat autonomous solutions at Pembroke Resources’s Olive Downs Complex in Central QLD.

They are the first mining operation globally to deploy these fully autonomous Cat drilling and hauling solutions simultaneously.

Our remote camera was setup in a Cat 794 haul truck, and with our skilled drone operator looking on from above, we were able to capture all the action around the circuit and in the pit.

Companies in mining trust Pure Gold Films to help showcase their capabilities and technology solutions through high impact marketing videos.

Thanks Hastings Deering for the opportunity to help showcase this fascinating project!
