Oaia Island in Muriwai, just out from Maukatia Bay. As a young kid I would stand on the beach and imagine flying out to this rock to build a fortress. Oh the places our imagination takes us. Thanks to for sending us this sweet pic! 🙏 — Brad.

The process of colour grading is definitely an art form. Sitting in a dark room staring at one shot at a time, your eyes can play tricks on you, is it too warm, too cold, too green, too blue? 🙈 Here’s to all the awesome colourists out there, who are one of the many people that play a part in how a film or tv show ends up looking before it hits the big screen.

Imagine having a conversation with someone and not being able to hear them properly. You miss half the story! 🤐 And that’s the importance of good sound, the ability to hear everything clearly! Luckily we had this unit of a man on board to capture sound for us on season 1 of The Property Developers. 👊 We love your work Shamir!

As much as we are deeply passionate about serious storytelling, we also love exploring the quirky and fun side of telling stories as well. So when we thought, who should be calling on the phone in this shot, Mum? Dad? Nope. How about the dog's psychologist? Done. And action! 😆

Filming in the snow is some serious business! They say not to work with animals or kids, but you can maybe add snow to the list too. 😂 Had a blast though! Thanks to the wonderful folks at for their hospitality. 🙏 Thanks also to our epic soundie for the sweet behind the scenes pics! Legend. 🔥
