Cliff Joins The Beatles
Dec 22nd
In 1969, there was no internet, no YouTube, no Facebook… how on earth did people find out about things!?
Let me introduce you to the latest show which I have been given the opportunity to design the complete marketing collateral. It’s called ‘Cliff Joins The Beatles’, and it’s a musical fantasy starring Marty Rhone & the Beatle Boys. The show plays on the idea of what would happen if Cliff Richard joined the Beatles after his split with the Shadows in 1969. Quite an interesting concept, and an equally as interesting (or challenging) advertising campaign would be needed to help bring the More >

Parkinson’s TV Campaign – The Role Reversal
Sep 20th
Paula with her two daughters Greta and Mary
A new TV commercial is about to be aired to help raise awareness for Parkinson’s Disease. The ad is going to give younger people living with Parkinson’s the opportunity to tell their story, whether they are sufferers of the disease or are close family members to those who are. The idea is to educate the public and let people know that it is not just a disease that effects the elderly, but can effect people as young as their 20s.

Parkinson’s Unity Walk 2011 TV Commercials
Aug 3rd
Recently the TV commercials for the 2011 Parkinson’s Unity Walk featuring Peter Fitzsimons went live to air. A few different versions of the ads were produced for national distribution and air-time, each with their own state/region specific details. You might spot them on some of your favourite TV channels including 7, 9, 10 and Foxtel (or their region equivalents). Have you seen them on TV?
The ads were shot using the Canon 5D MkII digital SLR. It was my first experience with the camera and so far it has been a rewarding one. Justin Fisher, my film and video partner in More >
Tex Murphy Trailers
Jul 12th
As part 2 of my resurrection of Tex Murphy goodies from the golden era of PC gaming (the 90s) I have another surprise. Since the Adventure Game Genre’s extinction, a lot of valuable and priceless “digital artefacts” began disappearing into the abyss. I’m talking about materials related to the games of yesterday, the gems of our childhood and the creators of many wonderful memories. Despite the world moving on, we see today how having the foresight (or the obsessive compulsiveness, you decide) to collect and preserve these digital artefacts has certainly paid off. No longer will a trip down memory More >
