ARIA AWARDS DOP 2012

I was very fortunate that I had received the offer as DOP on the red carpet on the 28th -29th of November (2012) for the ARIA awards. I filmed all the interviews with singers such as Timomatic, Justice Crew, Ruby Rose , Collectives, etc. I was also invited in the media room and after party. It was an amazing experience!



The footage I filmed by myself was edited and put together. The footage i filmed can be viewed on the left!

​Trademark Music Video
​

I worked on a music video with Trademark films, directed under Alper Kasap  and produced by Tony Cogur. I played a small role as the grip assistant who sets up the lights, cameras and makes sure the stage is lit, fixed as the director wishes. I also was fortunate on the day to work with the art department, assisting in setting up each scene with props before the scene was shot. It gave me a better understanding of the importance of lighting, angels and art direction. The music video I helped filming can be seen on:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngOM_v0lWBA

Australian Film Festival is the most recognized film festival in Australia. It celebrates the Australian film makers, directors and actors that have not been given credit for their work. Working with AFF director Barry Watterson, and his crew. I was given a few roles. I created and managed their blog and social media (blog : http:// australianfilmfestival.wordpress.com/)

I also judged the short film competition and managed paperwork (organizing work papers, events, volunteers and timetable for the film festival dates). I organized spreadsheets and their dropbox. The internship went from January- March. It’s a 3 month internship, full of fun and exciting events that made me fall in love with film industry and Australian film work.

​Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival​
 

I did full time work at the fashion festival this year at Town hall. I worked there as a consumer host. My job required me to sell tickets, look after the Mercedes Benz partners and sponsors and the VIP costumers. I worked every day during the fashion festival, met designers, the MX team, productions teams, media teams and the CIOs of various companies. I was also given the honor of assisting the production team and photographers. Other than the fact I met all the production, event managers and the models, I learnt how to communicate face-to-face to costumers with confidence and enthusiasm!
