The Torres Strait dancers put on an amazing performance in Ginar Australia and brought beautiful original choreography and costumes to the show. I loved seeing how it all blended with my documentaries, which were screened between each dance, and they really built upon the information I had included in their choice of dances and spoken introductions.

It’s been wonderful working with Ginar Australia over the last year and a bit, and we finally put on our first performance in Caloundra on Saturday 4th. I’ve loved creating all the promotional content and travelling to Cairns on a regular basis to take photos and videos. Here’s hoping this is the first of many performances.

In addition to documentaries and trailers, I also edit short promotional videos for people, like this showreel for cinematographer Gilberto Roque.

Sailing the seas.

It’s fascinating to discover history through old photos and images while making my documentary on Torres Strait Island history.

The image is a painting of the John Williams missionary ship in 1844 arriving in Huahine, one of the Society Islands in the South Pacific Ocean to bring news of Christianity.

I found recently that I love motion design in After Effects and I use any excuse I can to slip it into a project I’m working on. This is the first of two book trailers I created for SC Skillman Author, Speaker & Blogger. It was very fun condensing the concept of the story into a short teaser video and, since it was the first video I made of its kind, I used it as an experiment in 3D animation.

It's wonderful to see this article about Ginar Australia's upcoming dance show featuring my photography.

Ginar is a Torres Strait Islander word for dance, and the name of a new dance company paying homage to the land and sea, from the northern tip of Australia to the border of Papua New Guinea.
