GMi and DPaW (formerly DEC)

IMG_4936GMi have again been recently working with the Department of Parks and Wildlife or DPaW (formerly DEC) filming the plight of the critically endangered Woylie.  The Woylie also known as the brush-tailed bettong, is an extremely rare small marsupial which was once found over most of Australia but is now found in only a handfull of places.

The crew here at GMi have been filming the stellar work being done by the teams at DPaW to try and bring the Woylie back from the brink of extinction. Filming has so far taken place at the Perup Wildlife Sanctuary near Manjimup which acts to keep an area predator free for the Woylies to breed in and in the Dryandra Woodlands near Narrogin with further filming to take place over the coming months.

GMi are thrilled to be working again with DPaW on yet another project, we love being a fly on the wall documenting the conservation of some of our nations most endangered species. Stay tuned for the release of our latest video done with the department: Operation Rangelands. A story about the Lorna Glen Sanctuary and the animals that are being brought back from the verge of ruin.

GMi and the Prime Minister at the City East Opening

Prime Minister Julia Gillard With the completion of works by the City East Alliance Project, the team at GMi was there to capture the opening of the upgraded Great Eastern Highway by Prime Minister Julia Gillard. It was a proud day for everyone involved in the project seeing traffic flow freely along the upgraded highway and meeting the Prime Minister just added to it.

GMi provided high quality video and photography services across the project as well as contributing to the CEA website design. The videos were used extensively by media outlets producing stories about the project and in a corporate documentary about the upgrade, while the photos were used for the web, banners, posters and billboards, and in newspaper articles.

 

DSC_0013 The team here at GMi congratulate everyone involved with the project and look forward to working with them again!

Clare Bug hunt Department of Environment and Conservation GMi

The crew at GMi have stayed in touch with the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) scientists working on the Fire Mosaic research project near Walpole in the South West of WA.  Our youngest team member, Carl‘s daughter Clare, was invited to take part in the catching and classification of the bugs and became DEC’s youngest volunteer entomologist.

After spending a few days with the crew of science division Clare can boast finding 6, so far, unclassified species of moth, 1 new beetle and an all new wasp!

GMi’s favourite new word… Bokehlicious

canon, 7d, GMi's, new, DSLRGMi have joined the legions of Bokeh fans with their purchase of a new canon 7D. When coupled with GMi’s ever increasing collection of fast glass the images we have been getting are impressive to say the least. Whilst some of us are sad to see ‘old faithful’ (40D) put out to pasture we are more excited about the 7d’s capability to capture Full HD video.

 

This allows us to have our lightest and most compact HD camera setup yet,  which is great for getting to those shoots where the gear allotment is severely restricted. Shoots such as trips to remote mine sites where access is light plane FIFO, or for wildlife shoots where long treks on foot and fast setup are essential.GMi Dragonfly

Wedding Wishes From the Best Lamb

best lamb2013 has got off to a bang with Mark M getting married.

Mark and his lovely bride Jessica chose Harvey Dam to be the venue and the weather was perfect.  Of course, the bride was looking radiant in a white dress with blue sash and the groom was spotted in a shirt, tie and suit.  Probably the first time Mark has been spotted out with an ironed shirt and we have the photographic proof.  We are sure that his lovely bride will bring many changes to Mark – appearance, tidyness and an ability to listen – all for the better!

 
master of ceremoniesAnd no GMi wedding event would be complete without and appearance from “Best Lamb” Lamby who watched over the whole event.  Luckily for Lamby, the weather wasn’t roastingly hot or he might have got the chop…

A big congratulations and best wishes from us all to Mark and his beautiful wife.

Meet the Crew – Lamby

The fifth and final in our series of stories introducing the crew here at GEO Media interactive, today we meet GMi’s Mascot, Lamby.

So just who is that masked lamb, this international lamb of mystery?

Lamby is a  seldom mentioned member of GMi’s away crew, is a part-time camera assistant and 1st AD and full time indie hipster.  Originally employed in 2006 by Carl’s daughter, he was sent with Mark and Carl to make sure that all the work got done during a shoot in the north of the state. Well, he returned safe bringing photos of his work and now accompanies us on all extended shoots.

He is now the most travelled member of the team here at GMi with trips not only around our great state but throughout Europe as well. A regular on the GMi photo wall at our office and now adopted as our filming mascot, look out for him in our photo gallery as he continues his adventures!

Meet the Crew – Mark W

The fourth in our series of stories introducing the crew here at GEO Media interactive, today we meet Mark Whittle, GMi’s resident Mac apologist.

Mark began his career at the Film & Television Institute in 1984 working on corporate projects then moved to Bunbury a year later to join GWN.

Over 14 years valuable experience was gained in the areas of camera, audio, lighting, directing live programs and outside broadcasts, but his favourite is still editing. In 1989, Mark won GWN’s Crew Member of the Year Award and in 1994/95 received a cinematography award (editing & lighting) from the Australasian Retail Results Awards.

Mark started his own business in 2000, handling everything from TV commercials to weddings. In 2009 Mark & Supernova attained accreditation in corporate video with the Australian Video Producers Association (AVPA). In 2010 he decided to specialize in weddings with Supernova Video Production and bring his corporate clients to GMi.

Says Mark, “Working with three staunch Wintel tragics, I have an uphill battle as the solitary Mac user in the facility. They refuse to drool over my shiny MacBook Pro. “
