9 Years today, Mark M celebrates another year with GMi!

Mark M LG9 years ago today GMi’s Mark Moore joined GMi’s ranks as our camera man in a day full of memories, shenanigans, and ultimately hypnosis.  It was a day fondly remembered by all the staff here past and present. In that 9 years Mark has shown no desire to leave the good ship GMi (the hypnosis must of worked then… or possibly it has failed horribly) and has grown (quite literally!) with the business and helped it become one of WA’s best small production houses.

Originally Mark thought he would only be with us for a couple of years before moving back to Perth but when he discovered just how good the Southern Lifestyle is, there was no turning back. So instead we now find him not in some cramped newsroom in a city rushing for a deadline, but instead swanning around our great state filming all sorts of interesting things for us, and spending time with his wife and new son in a place he now certainly calls home.

Congratulations Mark, we’ll try and get rid of you next year, surely we will have found a way by then!

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!

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. “

Meet the Crew – Mark M

The third in our series of stories introducing the crew here at GMi, today we meet Mark, GMi’s Cameraman.

Prior to starting here at GMi I studied in Perth at the Western Australian School of Art Design and Media (WASADM) and, when I wasn’t in class, I was spending my spare time working with friends on short films or working as a cameraman for a couple of companies – also in Perth.

 

 

I came into the industry at the end of Beta SP and the dawn of digital acquisition, cutting my teeth on DVCAM and DVCPRO broadcast cameras. Picture quality aside one of the things I love about the continuous advance of digital technology is the fact it keeps getting lighter which, if you have ever had to run around with a SP Beta Camera on your shoulder for any length of time, is a great thing! That and battery life – I can shoot for hours now on a single battery. And… well there’s too many things to list why I love our current gen of cameras, and I look forward to what the next gen will bring. Especially in the smaller more mobile cameras like the GoPros.

 

I have been with GMi now for almost 8 years and have loved every minute of it. I’m looking forward to the next 8 and beyond with the guys and the toys I will get to take with me as I shoot around our great state. Be it underwater, on the ground, in the air, or into space GMi always gives me something unique to film, something to which I am ever thankful to the boys for letting me do – let alone paying me for it.
