Sarah Avalia: Through With You – music clip
SARAH AVALIA THROUGH WITH YOU MUSIC VIDEO Directed, shot, cut and graded by Dean Butler. "Because this was a one-man-band shoot I opted for the C200 for gimbal shots (when the budget allowed - there's a few gh5 shots by the wheat field) due to the outstanding dual pixel autofocus and the superb image quality when shooting raw. Shooting on F1.2 on a 50mm prime on a gimbal and holding focus was a revelation... Combining Canon with Red footage - it's like [...]

I Love You, But – Shameem: Perth music video faces problem gambling
(Almost half a year late in posting this but as they say, better late then never.) Online gambling. It's the fastest growing category in Australian advertising and it's the face of a colossal industry, which is why socially conscious Perth soul songstress, Shameem, has tackled it head on in the clip for her new single, I Love You, But. While the song is personal to Shameem and the lyrics stem from a broken relationship, the music video produced by Alucinor Productions boldly takes on the topical issue of [...]

Why a Red Scarlet-w?
Why a Red Scarletw? Over 4 years ago I wrote a blog about why we were purchasing a Scarlet-x digital cinema camera. A MASSIVE step up in performance and cost from our then current Canon 5D Mark ii. Well four and a half years since the purchase that camera is still our workhorse. 4k 24/25 fps and 3k 48 fps. We’ve shot everything under the sun with it – music clips, documentaries, shorts, green screen, TVC’s, even stills in 5k. We’ve yet to have an issue with the [...]
Our new website is live!
No we haven't been quiet. We've just had our busiest summer/autumn/ season yet shooting in Perth and around Western Australia on a multitude of video productions for clients old and new. Our website has been getting an overhaul from the awesome, wonderful and knowledgeable folks at trustmetric so we haven't bothered posting anything in a long while on the old site... plus we have barely had time. Plenty of new things coming soon: work, trailers, client testimonials, reels, gear acquisitions which will all come on board in the coming weeks. We'll also [...]

Beyond Gambling: Short WA made documentary with Linkwest
When I think about problem gambling or gambling addiction or when I have thought about it in the past I’ve never really thought of it as a big issue in Perth or in WA. Mainly because I’ve always kind of associated that with pokie machines and we don't have those everywhere (in Western Australia). They’re restricted to just the one casino in Perth city at Crown Casino. Gambling is never really anything I’ve done or been interested in outside of a few scratchy’s that have been given to me [...]
Debut Music Video: Sarah Robinson, Soar
We had the pleasure of working with Sarah Robinson on her debut music video — Soar. Huge thanks to Sarah for a freezing but very fun shoot. The production consisted of a single day shoot at The Secret Garden, and a half day shoot next two Trigg Beach with myself on camera and Stephen Burge assisting with anything from moving gear, holding a reflector or diffuser and helping keep Sarah safe on a rocky outcrop. Bare bones crew! No lighting, all natural. Gear: Shot on Red Scarlet 4k widescreen [...]
