    How much is our gear a crutch? If we didn’t have access to shallow depth of field, 10 bit colour, crazy low light, infinite lens choices… would our work still stand on it’s own? Would the storytelling at the core still resonate if the flashy wrappings fell away? On today’s show, I’m talking with Savannah Groves, aka A Girl and Her Phone about the conscious choice she has made to ignore the advice of other videographers and not buy a camera, but to create wedding films using only an iPhone. Why? Well you’ll have to listen and find out....

  • Who is your ideal client? When I ask that of wedding filmmakers, the answer I often get it β€œpeople in love” and I think here in lies an underlying issue that is holding a lot of filmmakers back from growing a business that they love, which a lack of clarity.

  • 2023 as seen a flood of interest around the advancements and capabilities of A.I. technology, and things seem to be changing by the day. In fact, mere hours after this interview was recorded, news dropped about a Premiere Pro plugin that could do some of the things we were speculating about in this discussion.

    On today’s show Narrative CEO and founder James Broadbent and I sit down to discuss the potential future of A.I.s role in video editing, we talk about how these software’s and machine learning models are made, the difference between predictive and generative A.I.s and about the very nature of creativity and creative authorship itself.

  • The longer you’re in this line of work, the business of capturing people and moments on camera, the more you realise that the craft is more in the people than in the camera.

    Connecting with, empathising with and falling in love with your subjects is the only way to truly make work that resonates and stands the test of time.

    On today’s show, I’m sitting down with Andrea and Eugene from The Drakes to hear how they obsess over the process of connecting with their couples and how this allows them to create the unique and award winning films they are known for.

    As Annie Leibovitz puts it β€œA thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”

  • The more we develop our careers, our techniques, our craft, it’s easy to focus on flashy visuals and cinematography and loose sight of the real reason people are willing to spend their hard earned money on a wedding film.

  • As 2022 comes to a close, we come to the end of another season of the show. Last year I ended with Bottlebrush, and this year I’m ending Season 3 with another pair of Aussie legends, β€œLovers + Legends” to be precise! Steph & Elliot are a husband + wife, photo + video duo from Brisbane Australia who have an amazing energy to their films and who balance the roles of photo + video creation seamlessly.

    On today’s show, we round off 2022 by talking about arguably the most important thing for a wedding filmmaker to remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them.

  • Polished, elegant and consistent are words I would use to describe the work of Deanna and Grant aka Harrison Films and today’s episode is an absolute masterclass in what it takes to create a high end product. Attention to detail is key and in my discussion with them I was blown away at just how much care and thought goes into every step of the process. From location scouting, to colour grading they put in the extra step of effort and care that takes their work from good to great and it’s a philosophy that I feel is the foundation of their success.

  • The film look is something digital filmmakers have been trying to emulate for years and back in 2012, a small company in New Zealand set out to achieve that goal. A decade later, Filmconvert is the arguably the most accurate and sophisticated film emulation software on the market. On Today’s show I’m sitting down with Filmconvert’s Henessey Griffiths to discuss the science and the magic of digital film emulation as we take the guess work out of colour grading.

  • For the first time in a LONG time, I'm sitting across the table, in the flesh with today's guests; Jesse Peters from Jesse & Jessie and Zac from Flatroc Films. On today's show, my fellow kiwis and I are cracking a beer and looking back at the crazy season that was and what we can learn from the situations we found ourselves in. We talk about burn out, parent life, work life balance, back end systems and quitting your day job to go full time on weddings.

It’s a chance to put the most important elements to the couple front and centre, to make them feel like this film was made for them and no-one else.

  • Directing couples can often be a daunting task for videographers. So often we start our journey with wedding filmmaking by just shadowing the photographer, not knowing how and where to step in and add value. On today’s show I’m talking to Tina Phillips from Bel Zev Films about the importance of instilling confidence in your couples, how to work with rather than against the photographer on a photo shoot and how getting in front of the camera yourself will give you the tools to communicate that experience to your couples.
