Bringing back Tex Murphy
Apr 19th
If you hadn’t noticed, I’m not just a fan of movies and film making, I’m also a huge fan of gaming. But of all the games I have played, none stand out as much as the Tex Murphy series.
Access Software, always been epic
Tex Murphy was the imaginative creation of Aaron Conners and Chris Jones from Access Software. A down on his luck, old style gumshoe detective living in post apocalyptic San Francisco in the 2040s. As a hard-boiled PI that would do almost anything to make rent, he was the unwilling star of 5 of the most groundbreaking PC game More >
Filming a re-creation of history – The Beatles Rooftop Concert
Mar 15th
Yesterday was an interesting day. Same as any other day really, except if you went out on your lunch break you might’ve noticed a rooftop concert happening in the middle of Circular Quay. Marty Rhone and the Beatle Boys decided to re-create the famous Beatles rooftop concert from London in 1969, this time performing in front of a busy Sydney CBD overlooking the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and many other Sydney Harbour landmarks.
The concert was held to promote the upcoming Australian National Tour of “Cliff Joins the Beatles”, a musical fantasy show set in an alternate reality where Cliff Richard More >
Case Study: the new Bandwood website
Jan 31st
Web design and development: Sometimes it takes the opportunity to conquer a large, intimidating and extremely challenging project before you realise: it can be scary stuff.
I recently completed a new website for Bandwood Pty Ltd; an Australian software design, development and consultancy company. It is, to date, the most extensively structured and coded website I have ever had to construct. In this article I will detail the process, the tears and the triumphs that became the Bandwood website.
We begin with the original website (best viewed in Internet Explorer 5 or greater, by the way!):

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 >

The new TV commercial for Parkinson’s NSW titled ‘The Role Reversal’ is now online. I had originally wrote an article about the production of the ad, and you can now see the finished product using the embedded video player below:
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.
Peter Brown at Blue Desk advertising agency was brought on board by Parkinson’s to More >
