Recent work: First-person narrative video for Monash University

I had the pleasure to work on a first-person narrative video for Monash Education about Mokhamad Iksan, an alum making a difference in his local community in rural Indonesia.

When Mokhamad Iksan won a scholarship to Monash to complete his Masters Degree he vowed he would use his knowledge to help his rural community in Malang, Indonesia. Iskan is the founder of EQuIC, a non-profit foundation designed to improve the quality of education in rural areas.

This was shot over a weekend on a tight budget and edited quickly afterwards.

Recent work: Video for the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020

I am very happy to share this brand video I produced for the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020 (World Economic Forum).

We produced multi-camera interviews in Jakarta and shot footage in Kalimantan (Borneo) and Sumatra, Indonesia. It also includes 2-D motion graphics.

It is edited in a narrative style, with soundbites from interviewees introducing the purpose of the organization and featuring two case studies from Brazil and Indonesia.

I really enjoyed working on this project, as I am particularly interested in climate change and environmental issues.

Today’s office: Jakarta, Indonesia

I am shooting photo and video for an international client in a 5-star hotel in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. This assignment involved a lot of planning and pre-production to make sure the setup is right and everything runs smoothly today. The assignment included multi-camera, continuous recording of a live event with 100+ people and several interviews.

Recent work: Multimedia piece for Oxfam Australia

Recently I shot a photo story for Oxfam Australia in Lombok, Indonesia. I also edited the images as a multimedia slideshow, including additional video footage and audio recordings.

It is always interesting to work with multimedia and to see how certain photos, that might not be powerful enough to be used individually, take a strong role once they get added to a sequence.

Motion demo reel

In addition to stills, my clients increasingly demand video services, both production (shooting) and post-production (editing) — and it’s about time you get to see some of it! Here’s a little sample of my video work, on my new show reel.

If you are in Indonesia and Vimeo is blocked, you can also watch it on Wistia.

Certain stories are better told with movement and sound, so they are more suitable for multimedia.

Shooting video requires more planning than taking photographs, and more technical resources, but it also makes you look at what’s around you in a different way, appreciating the dynamics of situations and watching for that perfect moment when sounds and images just click.

This year I’ll be producing more video stories, along with my team in Jakarta.

We offer video production and post-production services (editorial, commercial, corporate, travel) in Indonesia and beyond. If you’re interested, contact us.
