  Director + Head of Production

  This where we turn all your raw creative bits into something tasty No matter what you got, we'll mix it all with our special blend of ingredients and slice it up, ready to serve. It's like our minced beef, but without the bone shards and wedding rings. Our Production Department's worked on TV Ads, Promos, Online, Documentaries, Corporates, Features and Shorts. If you want it, they bloody better know how to do it, or they'll get a smack.Here's a little chat from our Head of Production.“The way we shoot has changed dramatically over the last few years with the advent of quality digital and the ability to get a great result with smaller crews. It means that you can get a beautiful take without giving your finance department haemorrhoids. We still use film, but only when it's the right answer. Every time we shoot for you, we want you to be in love with what you're watching. If it isn't perfect, we didn't shoot it.” Show less
