Here is the next video in our 5 video series created for the City of Bunbury, it’s called: Art & Culture. This video focuses on the diverse Arts, Entertainment, and Cultural experiences to be had in one of the fastest growing regional cities in Australia: The City of Bunbury.
GMi has recently added to its diverse equipment collection with addition of a new 1000mm Super Telephoto lens. Married up to a state of the art aluminum SLR camera cage, high definition field monitor and our beloved Canon 7D camera GMi is now able to undertake those incredible wildlife shoots in full HD.
With a magnification significantly greater than our previous best lens, this rig is already producing spectacular wildlife video. Using the latest in post production image stabilization from Avid Media Composer and Adobe After Effects we are able to use the lens to its maximum magnification, shooting wildlife at 200m or more with superb clarity. The addition of our specially sourced dedicated field monitor and rail system allows for greater focus control and quick setup.
Look out for the results in documentaries we are producing now – we are excited, and we hope you will be too!

9 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!
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 will soon begin work to produce a series of videos for a social media campaign about prescribed burning by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). The videos will talk about the science behind prescribed burning and demystify the process as a whole.
We here at GMi cant wait to get back down into our states southern forests to film the DEC crews, the previous video we did with them Walpole Fire Mosaic is one of our favourite videos. Click here to see it now: Walpole Fire Mosaic
GMi has been working closely with the Water Corporation of Western Australia recently to produce a series of videos for use by their training department. The videos are for a range of internal and external departments and are fully integrated into the Watercorps SCORM workflow. If you would like to know more about how GMi can help you with developing SCORM based, or any other training packages just drop us a line.
2013 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!
And 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.
Happy 2013 from everyone here at GMi! 2012 was an interesting year for us which saw new clients, new modes of delivery and new gear, we had some great times in 2012 with our fantastic clients and each other, and we hope to continue this in 2013.
Things we are particularly looking forward to include the projects on Dirk Hartog Island and in our states southern forests, the completion of the project based in the Little Sandy, further uptake of our SCORM based corporate video and training packages (which has seen some fantastic interest of late), more adventures for Lamby and a whole host of projects we cant even talk about yet… But watch this space.
So a massive thank you to all of those who made our 2012 so memorable and here’s to the many new and exciting things that 2013 brings.
