It's always events season at Soul Arch Media, but this time of year is particularly busy thanks to a not-for-profit project we helped set up to support local photographic artists and filmmakers while showcasing our beautiful city.
From 1st-14th May, catch Flotsam Festival as it rolls across the Gold Coast with ocean-inspired film and photo pop up events spanning beachside towns from Burleigh to Coolangatta.
Staged like a giant arts trail, Flotsam's two week pixel party hosts free and ticketed events including photo and digital exhibitions staged indoor and out, surf cinema nights, live music and more. Don't miss the Flotsam Festival party wave – only on the Gold Coast, only in May.
Got your tickets yet? Aside from FREE community events, every Flotsam ticketed event is a bespoke, curated experience with limited capacity – support your local filmmakers and photographers as they showcase our town, or discover international artists bringing their work to our shores.
Snap to it + get your passes before they're gone - hit the events tab and start planning: https://flotsamfestival.com.au/events/
Flotsam Film and Photography Festival, Gold Coast 1-14 May 2023
Oh this little thing? Just a project we're SUPER excited to help launch. Take a peek at the Flotsam Festival website, a brand new surf film + photo festival in May making a splash on the the southern Gold Coast: http://www.flotsamfestival.com.au
Midway through Jan and we're finally in the swing of 2022, but not before reflecting on 2021 – including several of the community events we filmed that were lucky enough to run between lockdowns!
Here's a social edit of a larger video created for Multicultural Community Council Gold Coast (@MCCGC) signature event, International Cafe. Held at @southportcofc to celebrate @nationalunityweek and @qldseniorsmonth the event offered a fun, vibrant and exotic cultural gathering for hundreds of participants of all ages and backgrounds in attendance.
This free community event reflects and celebrates MCCGC's vision of an inclusive community that values cultural diversity. Operating in the Gold Coast region for over 35 years, MCCGC works to ensure people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds have equal access to appropriate and inclusive services and a high quality of life and independence so that everyone in our community feels connected.
Be sure to check out @MCCGC (and keep an eye on their socials for the next International Cafe later this year!)

Wishing you all a peaceful + restful holiday season with loved ones this Christmas.
We'll be closed Christmas and Boxing Day, but back on deck filming + editing throughout the NY break.
Since this holiday period in Australia is officially beach season for the entire population, here's some sunset gimbal video captured at the Alley, obviously not captured today – little more busier 'round these parts with school holidays in full swing!
Here's to 2022.
Is your NY resolution a lifestyle change?
We had fun filming this North Palm Beach property – complete with its resident canine stars – for Belle Properties Palm Beach to ready it for auction.
Close to Tallebudgerra creek and beach, this prestige residence has lots of room for all the family – including the fur babies!
@bellepropertypalmbeach
Just in time for the holidays @flowstate_mbm has launched a new site – and it's full of videos created by us to showcase a range of services to help you find your flow, including surf coaching, breath training, and kinesiology. From classes, workshops and one on one sessions, Flowstate's new site lets you book in-person and online experiences.
We loved working with Sal from Flowstate to create content to share her story, explain her services, and uncover the ethos behind why she does what she does. Together we also created online downloads and course content to help her clients access helpful information 24/7, whenever they need it. This will also help Sal keep her business flowing (pun intended) no matter what hiccups lie ahead, impervious to borders, restrictions and interruptions.
If finding your flow sounds like the perfect antidote to festive season burnout, jump over to book a coaching session or free intro breathwork class – or just swing by to watch the videos (we heard they're pretty awesome;) )
Flashing back to clearer skies.
Currumbin's Ally at sunset in slo-mo.
Some pretty amazing storm activity due to the change of seasons atm, with this shoot looking more like the set of Armageddon than our generally mild weathered Gold Coast Airport.
> Storm front time lapse moving in across the GC airport from the south. Tell Bruce Willis to get his drill kit out, might come in handy!

This #TBT we're throwing back to Moreton Island with a time lapse at remote North Point, only accessible by 4X4, boat, heli, or maybe dolphin riding.
Big empty beaches and bays, and all just a ferry ride from Brisbane.

Hump day got you beat? Settle down to the soothing sight of slo-mo gimbal video footage captured at sunset at Currumbin's Elephant Rock.
Always knockoff/sunset o'clock somewhere! ;)

Want the secret to a long life?
#TBT Throwing back this fine Thursday to a case study we filmed with sprightly 100 y.o. Agnes and her daughter Pauline talking about the easy transition to aged care with HillView Aged Care.
The inside tips on how to get to 100 were a bonus!
For Agnes the gardens and sense of privacy were key. For Pauline, the homely touches, caring staff and personalised care gave her piece of mind that her mum was in great hands.
This video was just one of a suite of video content filmed for Hillview's website, including staff introductions, amenity overviews and lots of glowing testimonials from families like Agnes's.
Need case studies or testimonials filmed for your business?

Capturing the passing crowd at @Swellfestival last weekend with some long exposure photos and timelapse.
Fleeting moments and transient movement as a festival comes to an end. Until next year, Swell!

Gold Coast's Currumbin Beach is currently awash with the annual Swell Sculpture Festival. In a year where so many great community events have been forced to cancel, it's so great to see Swell flourishing + continuing to showcase local creatives.
Here's just a handful of installations captured in timelapse at sunset, ocean gently laping in the background just metres away.
This family-friendly outdoor art festival runs day + night until 19 September 2021, to suss what's on visit @swellsculpture

Drifting into the weekend, where all roads lead to the beach✨
For a pre-knock-off shot of vitamin sea, here's a timelapse sunset captured over Tugun on the southern Gold Coast.
You're welcome! ;)

Course & Training Video Production

Popular uses:
+ Deliver staff safety & procedure training - make sure your staff have access to current best practices with easily-updated online video training modules
+ Build product feature awareness - like having a live product demo to showcase the uses, benefits and care instructions for your product on demand 24/7
+ Offer 24/7 training modules - allows students self pace their studies, and review/refresh anytime as needed
+ Boost staff productivity through product and sales video training - using video content for internal product update communications and staff training
+ Covid-19 restriction safe way to upskill staff or educate students - online video courses allow a cost effective, fail-safe alternative to the current challenges of scheduling in-person training
We can handle all aspects of capturing your course or training content for you:
+ Help develop content concepts and plans
+ Organise and schedule filming sessions
+ Film in any location, from busy office to outdoor settings
+ Edit content into multiple formats

Salt Gypsy – ASB Magazine
This #TBT we’re throwing back to the cover story and feature video “With The Flow” that we put together for action sport business news publisher @asbmag with Danielle Clayton, founder of Byron-based women’s surf label SaltGypsy
Part 2 of ASB’s Women In Business series, Dani’s inspirational story ran in the magazine’s print version while the accompanying interview video was premium subscriber-only online content – if you’re an ASB subscriber be sure to check it out.
Did you know Soul Arch Media handles editorial content for print, digital and broadcast companies across the globe? Filming, editing, writing – it’s all about sharing stories.
Byron Bay World First Solar Train
This #FBF we're flashing back to a story we filmed and edited for the Discovery Channel covering the world's first solar train in Byron Bay.
The immaculately restored 1949 era two carriage heritage train is powered by some pretty remarkable technology – some new, some old (thanks to a 4.6 billion year old power source). By land and by drone, we captured the three kilometre coastal track that links the Byron Town Centre with the burgeoning North Beach precinct and Byron Arts Estate ahead of the line's official opening.
Did you know Soul Arch Media films across a range of TV content, from news stories and features, documentaries, drama and reality, to music and live sporting event coverage? Our content has been screened across the world on stations like Fox Sports, Foxtel, Network Ten, TV Meridian, VID (Russia), RTL (Germany), ARD Sportschau (Germany), Euro News (Europe), Maori TV (NZ), TV1 (NZ) and many more. With camera crews, video journalists, producers or editors on the ground in South East QLD/ Northern NSW, we're here to help!
Just another crackin' work week flying by on Southern Gold Coast. An outtake for a stock shoot, this panning time lapse features just 180 degrees of the stellar 360 degree view from Elephant Rock look out.
