ING Direct Webisode
Client: @www Digital
Description:
Commissioned by our client @www Digital, as part of the ING Direct website project, we devised the concept, scripted, cast and wrangled ING Direct customers and staff to appear in a series of two-minute online videos.

Sanctuary Cove DVD
Client: Mulpha Australia
Description:
Working alongside Gold Coast-based video production house Promojo, Subject Matters pulled together every aspect of this sales reel for Sanctuary Cove. We scripted one version for an international market of mostly Chinese investors, and another for the local home-buying market and featuring Andrew Winter, seen here. We cast actors, found locations, shotlisted and scheduled three days of shoots. On location, we directed every shot using state-of-the-art cameras, managed the schedule, the actors, hair, make-up and catering! Andrew Winter loved his script and our client says the result is better than he ever imagined.
YOTS Volunteer Video

A classic Subject Matters production for a pro bono, charity client.

All-rounder that she is, Jen then did camera, lighting, editing and sound, delivering to a brief that specified an upbeat, positive end result. Stay tuned for more work with Youth off the Streets.

Really strong content on a very modest budget.
