Building Youth a Better Tomorrow

fundraising campaign

Seemingly every headline in the Western World speaks of a housing crisis, but what the graphs and statistics miss are the real people without a place to go home to. Director Adam Hasa worked with Anglicare on a campaign to tell the stories of three young people who through no fault of their own, found themselves with nowhere to go. The approach for such a sensitive topic was for this film to be a message of hope, that it does get better and you are worthy.

The Kava Connection

Product documentary

Kava is a fascinating psychoactive drink which has been consumed in the Pacific for generations. Recently legalised for import into Australia, Director Adam Hasa traveled with the team from Australian Kava Co to Vanuatu to learn more about this magical drink, the culture, and to show consumers where their Kava comes from.

PRODUCING CAPTIVATING FILMS FOR DIGITAL PLATFORMS

FAQ
How much does a commercial cost?
Have you heard about the remarkable diversity in string lengths? We have done small scale, 30 second corporate videos that cost a couple hundred dollarydoos, and we have done 30 second TV commercials that cost much much more. The real question is about how much value can we squeeze from each budget to get the maximum value and most importantly, achieve the aims of the product. It is all well and good to have a flashy corporate video or high intensity music video, but if the intention was a heartfelt clip about someone in your organisation that has gone above and beyond in their role, then the point is lost. 
How long does the Film and Video process take?
How long is a piece of string? We have had event Videography jobs that had a one day turnaround from shooting in the morning to delivering the final edit that evening, we have also done longer form projects such as documentaries and large scale marketing campaigns that took the better part of the year from the first meeting to the premiere. We are always willing to spend however much time it takes to create the perfect video. 
Aren’t commercials just for TV?
Yes and No, when we refer to TVCs (Television Commericals) that is shorthand for high quality, top tier production value video content. Youtube, Facebook, ondemand, iview etc have not replaced traditional TV advertising but they still demand the same high quality content. The modern viewer in Brisbane has quite frankly become spoiled, they are bombarded with top tier commercials and that has become the standard. To see an ‘average’ video inbetween two TVC commercials stands out, in the same way a Toyota Highlander between a Ferrari and Porsche stands out, not that there is anything wrong with a Highlander, but by comparison it is visible. That is why producing high quality commercial content is so important in today’s saturated market. 
What kind of equipment do you use?
We only use industry-standard Film and TV equipment but each job is different. Simple social media corporate videos can get away with just using a DSLR and solo operator, larger TVCs and Commercials require crews of camera and lighting assists, sound recordists in addition to a director and producer along with the top tier camera and lighting equipment that would you expect to see on a Hollywood production.
