Ever been to a crab festival? Mandurah WA holds one every year across 3 days, called Crab Fest.
Fresh Oysters!Live music in the beer garden
It includes music, food, fireworks and carnival rides. It is just great day out for the whole family. We were hired by the City of Mandurah to produce a 60 second video of the massive event.
Craig filming the crowd’s reaction to Montaigne
It was a full on day for Craig and myself, working for 12 hours on our feet with a quick 15 minute lunch break thrown in the middle between events! Lots of fun though and we were thrilled to be part of it. Especially being able to see the amazing Montaigne perform.
Craig has released a new video on his “how to” youtube channel, Turnah81 and with it an ebook. That’s right, Craig is now a published author! So the video and book is simple instructions on how to make your own automatic sprinkler animal repellent for only $15 in parts.
Commercial versions of this concept can be really expensive- ranging from $80 to $190! Which is partly what inspired Craig to come up with this design.
This simple project can be used:
As a Cat or Dog Repellent
Animal Deterrent for other backyard pest like Squirrels, Bears, Possums, Raccoons & Deer
Use it to stop a pet dog digging in your yard
To stop ducks sitting on your pool
Prevent birds from killing fish in a pond
Keep birds off a window ledge
Prank friends or family
or even as a fun & educational school science project.
Recently I took some stills for a business called Peace in A Pod, they specialise in float tanks, massage, sauna and spas (plus much more.)
I seriously had no idea how much you actually float in those pods! It looks so amazing, like you literally can not make yourself sink to the bottom. I think I wouldn’t last 10 minutes before falling asleep. In Craig’s opinion he doesn’t think I would last 1 full minute… I do enjoy napping!
They were a great team to work with, lots of fun and lots of laughs! Would highly recommend a visit for yourself or someone you love 🙂
So I have been busy with my youtube channel over the summer and have made a few “how to” videos that nobody asked for.
Making your own Foam Cutter
How to build a foam cutting table the simple way… to cut foam, styrofoam or plastic. There are many of videos showing different ways to build your own hot wire foam cutter or “styro-slicer” (ie King of Random) which are all great builds- but time consuming. If you are after a quick easy DIY method to make a homemade foam cutter – then this is for you. I needed a styrofoam cutter for a project that was cheap, full size, could cut angles & had variable heat – plus could be made quickly – from what I have seen this is the most full featured, yet easy way to make a professional size foam cutter.
The Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation put on a thank you day for all staff and patients of Princess Margaret Hospital before it closed in June last year.
This is a highlight video we put together showcasing such an emotional day. There was a photo booth, face painting, choir, sausage sizzle and much more!
The hospital first opened in 1909 and has been a part of most West Australian’s lives at some point.
GoPro Fusion 360 Camera
We recently purchased the GoPro Fusion 360 camera and you may recognise some shots from this when we give it to Stitches the bear. Pretty cool stuff! It allows you to capture every angle all at once, giving the editor the freedom to choose what they want to work with. Would definitely recommend this camera, such a different way to view the world!
Being a Nurse At PMH
In the lead up to the closing of the hospital, we were asked to produce a video on what it was like being a nurse at PMH. They wanted to show this video at upcoming events as a thank you to the nursing staff past and present at the hospital for all of the energy and effort they have put into their roles over the years.
PMH’s 107th Birthday Celebration
Here is also a video we did a couple of years back for PMH’s birthday , which we were lucky enough to became a finalist in for the Australian Video Producer’s Association Awards for best highlights of an event.
What I discovered while videoing this event was that it is a fantastic networking experience, a great way to brainstorm ideas and promote “out of the box” thinking. What’s not to love!?
Watch our highlights below of the 1 and a half day event that ESS, Compass Group held with their employees.
Peel Language Development School is an independent public specialist school in Western Australia. It specialises in early intervention services for students with language disorders from Kindy to Year 3. If you feel that your child could use some help with their schooling please don’t hesitate to contact them.
Our son Nate was diagnosed with Autism when he was 3 years old. The early intervention with the language therapy really helped his communication and his ability to learn. He is too old to attend this school now but I strongly recommend those who have a young child with learning difficulties to seek help. Life is easier for everyone involved, especially your child.
Watch this video we produced with the school and learn more about what they could provide your child with.

The videos are featured as a back story for each of the finalists, these are played just prior to the awards winner announcement and also, as promotional tool online for the finalist after the event is over.
