My professional experience covers most areas of ENG / Film / TV Production. Due to my intimate working relationship with a wide and varied number of DOP's I have assimilated a range of camera and shooting styles as well as lighting techniques that enable me to cater for most client's needs. I have an extensive creative background and I thrive on constant improvement and delivering best outcomes fo

r all parties under challenging circumstances. Through my thorough knowledge of TV production equipment, IT and workflows, I can efficiently troubleshoot, suggest options and resolve sticky issues. I have always enjoyed researching, testing and implementing new technologies and workflows as they emerge, and I believe I am resourceful, proficient and at ease in adopting new skills. This together with my cooperative, relaxed and professional attitude and a thorough understanding of priorities and time management should give you peace of mind for reliable outcomes when it comes to your project.

3D 'Digital Twin' Gaussian Splats look great on any screen, but now in 3D VR even more immersive and convincing.
This is early days exploring workflows and probing tools as they come online through the betas. Looking forward to the possibilities ;-)

AVsupport is now a proud member of the IVRPA.
The association strives to develop and support the professional and artistic uses of 360° panoramas, image based VR and related technologies worldwide through education, networking opportunities, manufacturer alliances, marketing assistance, and technical support and also promotes the success of Professioal VR Photographers and Videographers worldwide.
On top of that, members gain valuable insights from member’s only webinars, discussions, and other content, and get access to manufacturer’s feedback loop to help shape the future of VR.
This is exciting and I can’t wait to digest the amount of information available at this level, as this should improve international collaboration, knowledge, process and output.

Creating a reliable live stream in the first instance for platforms like Microsoft Teams in a complex environment might be challenging, as it can be full of pitfalls along the way. Even more so, as a solo operator, how do you keep the audience interested for over an hour of presentation? Here is where latest tech innovation can help: Not only will eye-AF will provide a tack sharp closeup, Ai driven auto subject tracking and dynamic framing can help make your stream not only looking good, but also feeling good and engaging. Happy client, happy operator. ;-)

Trick or Treat? Removing myself from a rectangular projection, as I am not meant to be there, but in 360 photography, there's no where to hide.. ;-) !! This is a small portion of the 96MP HDR image which I cannot show as it is commercial in confidence

Here is what 22 hrs rendering 100% CUDA on a nVidia GTX3070/12GB gets you: a little impressionistic backyard Gaussian Splat, composed from 20x 360 HDR stills. Let's see what the next 24 hrs will do to improve the model, or perhaps not. This is also why dedicated cloud GPU computing is definitely the way to go in this instance, if you don't want to brick your .

Gaussian Splatter of the Deadly Nightshade (artwork by Linde Ivimey)
New is now that this can now run on a dedicated server (in this case, mine) as opposed to be on someone else's (subscription) cloud service . 'Soon' this will contain interactive tags that can be clicked etc for a full immersive 3D experience. This is currently in Beta, work in progress.

Here's where we're heading.. training Radience Fields ;-) ! Last attempt was aborted after 5 days of a capable graphics card at 100% 24/7, but this one is looking achievable...
Immersive environments and 3D representation of the real thing is definitely different than swiping some images around the screen ;-)

What better way to explore Newcastle's best bikepaths 100% sustainable and . Have added a few more kilometers with updated Google Maps imagery for the world to see what a beautiful coastline we are cherished with

Have added another kilometer (link below) of City of Newcastle 's R6 bikepath, from the Carrington Bridge all the way to Cottage Creek Footbridge connecting to my previous Google Blue Line thereafter. This fabulous stretch gets you past the fishing boat harbour and Commercial Fishermen's Co-operative Wickham Seafood Markets full to the 'brim' with freshest local seafood, the fabulous Flatfish Cafe Fish'n'Chip place (really love their crunchy chips ;-), the Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club and The Wickham Boatshed all of which are great options for a nice lunch on the water. So lucky we can ride to all these spots which are just around the corner ;-) Link to Google Maps Streetview: https://maps.app.goo.gl/BqYHCFdoKJQ5t4NM7

Video reconstruction of Linde Ivimey's 'Deadly Nightshade' sculpture consisting of steel, acrylic, resin, turkey and sheep bones, and agates. This video is based on a 3D model ('Digital Twin') created at the Maitland Regional Art Gallery during the "Old Stories New Magic' exhibition (22 June -6 Oct) which embraces old stories and explores our longing and fascination with other worlds and beings, the dreamy sub-conscious and the long-lasting presence of the ancient.

"Warbird" by Adam Truskett was one other outstanding sculptural artwork at the latest Sculptures at Scratchley exhibition. I could look at this in detail for hours admiring the amount of detail and work that went into the artwork, whilst reminiscing of Don Quixote #sculpturesatscratchley #visitNewcastleNSW @adamtruskettartist #createandinnovate
