GMi

GMi working with the community.

 

As you probably already know GMi has been working closely with community groups to help spread the word of the fantastic conservation projects they work on. We here at GMi are pleased to welcome the Leschenault Catchment Council to the growing number of groups we assist here in Western Australia.

Quokka Forest

They join our conservation clients list which also includes the Australian branch of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Department of Parks and Wildlife, and the Blackwood Basin Group (BBG). The BBG has just opened their latest conservation success to the public the creation of a wetlands haven at Schwenkes Dam.

This new wetland is part of the Priority Bittern and Waterbird Biodiversity Enhancement Project.

This has been and continues to be a fantastic project to work on and if you would like more information on this or any of the other projects we work on drop us a line here. Also keep an eye out on the ABCs’ Landline program, which will have a story about the BBG project (using of our vision) later this month.

WWF and the Quokka

GMi teams up with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to search the southern forests for the elusive mainland Quokka.

WWF Quokka interview

The two Marks fresh from there end of year breaks started 2017 with some exciting new work with the World Wildlife Fund, radio monitoring Quokka numbers in the forests around our South West. Tip toeing through thick bush so as not to disturb any of the sensitive habitats or there occupants was quite feat while loaded up with camera gear. It was like being on location with Bear Grylls for a day!

Quokka Radio collar

We found evidence of Quokkas in the area but only came across a single animal in the end, and they are much more camera shy than their Rottnest Island cousins. But it was still a successful shoot and a good time was had by everyone involved. We encourage people to check out the important work being carried out by the WWF on Quokkas and their other projects.

You can see the work WWf do with the Quokka here:

The End (2016) is Nigh!

As 2016 winds to a close 2017 will see something else spin up. Something with props perhaps?

The boys here at GMi are itching to get the hotly anticipated new DJI drone in there hands. With stunning images, a smaller footprint for easier travel and considerably longer flight times Carl and the Marks are trying to be patient while we await our delivery. In the meantime they have been watching some of the stunning footage some of the lucky people around the world (who have already received their drones) have been capturing. Check out this great one by Philip Bloom.

Windjana Gorge Crocs

2016 saw the boys on filming all over our great state be it in the Kimberley Region, to Broome and the famous Cable Beach, to Dirk Hartog Island during the 400th Anniversary of landing there, back out to the desert to see a land reclaimed, to our states foodbowl heartlands or to our lush southern forests and stunning coastlines, 2016 has been a truly amazing year!

Eagles Skyribbon

So as 2017 rolls in with a new drone a new AVID editing suite, and another new camera on the horizon GMi has never been better suited to tell your story. So please enjoy the end of year festivities, travel safe and drop us a line in the new year we would love to hear from you!

Gorgeous Gorges! GMi takes another trip into the Kimberleys

 

Geikie Gorge Boat tour 1

Mark has continued GMi’s love of filming in the wonderful parks of the Kimberley Region of Western Australia. A recent trip saw Mark from GEO Media interactive (GMi) and a photographer from the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) take a trip out along the Gibb River Road to film the parks of Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek, and Geikie Gorge.

 

Some of Marks highlights from the trip were getting up close to film crocodiles, the guided walking tour through Tunnel Creek, the amazing boat tour along the Geikie Gorge, and the drive itself allowing to see the many different sights and landscapes along the way. He has never seen so many Boab trees and Termite mounds before! The shoot also allowed us to give our new 4k camera a real test as the shooting conditions were quite varied.

 

It was a great trip and Mark is incredibly keen to get back up there to continue exploring the amazing parks of our great state with camera in hand! Before that though there is another trip to Dirk Hartog to complete, so keep your eyes peeled for a story on that soon!

 

For more on the parks check out the info on the DPaW website or click on the links below.

Sunrise over Broome Jetty

Mark and Carl have just returned from filming in Broome in WA’s pituresque Kimberley region with GMi’s new Panasonic 4k camera. They spent just under a week in filming in a variety of conditions and locations (most of which were hot!) and the new Panasonic DVX200 camera performed beautifully in all of them.

Broome Port

Filming at Broome Port.

It was GMi’s first working trip into our states top end, but 2016 will see us spend quite a bit more time up in the tropics. More info about those trips later in the year.

The filming was part of a production for the new Kimberley Ports Authority and the Port of Broome. We have now produced videos for the Albany, Broome, Bunbury, and Dampier Port Authorities.

The Water Corporation entered these packages into a statewide training award and we here at GMi are very pleased that they were selected as finalists. If you would like to see the Waterwise training packages they are now live on the Water Corporation website and can be found here: Waterwise Training

If you would like more information on how GMi could produce a similar E-Learning package customised to suit your business please contact us!

Wunderschlecht 2015

Wunderschlecht 2015! GMi enters the International Art scene.

 
2015 saw a new collaborative venture for GMi with the filming and production of Wunderschlecht! the making of a piece of international art in Germany.
Filmed in Berlin (world capital of pop art and music) at the invitation of Instinktiv Kreativ’s Steve Jahns, Carl ventured over to filmed the piece.  With music by local Berlin artist Sascha Aviar from the Telekollegen crew – and help from Carlo, Phillip and the crew from Instiktiv, the production looks set to air on national TV and WEB in 2016 as part of a “Street Art” festival.  Looking ahead to 2016-2017 and hopefully the success of this production will see us working on a lot more in the future.

Wunderschlecht is stricktly not a German word or phrase!  Taking Wunder for “wonder” and Schlecht for “bad”, its literal translation is “Wonderfully Bad”.  It is taking some time to convince the German residents that this should be a legitimate word – watch this space as it becomes part of pop culture through our T-Shirt and merchandising campaign!

Check out the video here: Wunderschlecht!

Check out the music here: Sascha Aviar feat. #INSTANTBONER – Pong Pang (Franco Bianco Remix)

And  the artists at work here: Instinktiv Kreativ

A big shout out to all the crew in Berlin for making this possible!
