Remote Broadcast Reality Check
We recently did a live cross for The Project with Dr Charlie Veron, widely known as “the Godfather of Coral” speaking about his lifelong work and his connection with Sir David Attenborough.
Charlie lives out near Palmerston, QLD, right on the edge of nowhere. No 5G, barely a whisper of 4G. We were having trouble, trying everything, home WiFi, Starlink, we finally got enough signal by running a 30m SDI cable outside to the Dejero and mounting the Starlink dish to the roof of the Caddy. Cable running everywhere, Bush tech at its finest.
Just as we were ready to go live, Charlie’s son was flying a drone… which lost control and crashed into a stand of bamboo right next to the Caddy. My first thought wasn’t about myself, it was about the drone hitting the Starlink dish and killing our signal right before the cross. I went to help retrieve it, made eye contact with the pilot, and just as I reached for the drone, it flew straight at me, hitting my head and slicing up my hand.
Three minutes before the cross, I was bleeding from 17 cuts on my hand and a few on my head. We went inside to grab the first aid kit, then went outside patched me up quickly, away from where the others were working, so Ben and Charlie could focus on the cross. I told them, “We’re good, let’s get the cross done. I’ll deal with this after.” Ben got the job done.
Afterwards, we tried to find a local ambulance at Mila Mila, no one there. Then we came across a traffic accident near Malanda and realised that’s where the emergency services were. We decided to just head home.

On the Trail with Bob Katter, Atherton Tableland Edition
From mountain bike trail advocacy to a few ends at the new Atherton Bowls Club green, swinging by the golf club's new cart tracks, and finishing up with coffee and yarns in Yungaburra, it was a day full of local pride, lively conversations, and plenty of laughs.
Wherever Bob goes, he’s treated like a rock star, people lining up for a photo, wanting to wear the hat, and sharing stories from the heart.
CameraWorkz was there to capture it all.

Behind the Scenes at CameraWorkz, A Tale of Two Crosses moments apart.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of being part of a live cross with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for Sky Channel’s First Edition. It’s always a race against time to deliver the best possible image, but the difference in results can often come down to preparation and attention to detail.
In the first image, you'll see our shot for First Edition, taken with care, lighting, and a little extra time spent to ensure the best exposure and colour balance. One hour before our cross, we were already on-site setting up and fine-tuning every aspect to deliver a crisp, clear, and beautifully lit image. Holding a scrim to filter the sunlight, perfect for the PM’s shot.
In the second set of images, you’ll notice the challenges that come with live crosses, the sun’s unpredictable nature and the effects it can have on exposure and colour, especially when working alone with limited resources.
While there’s always a place for every approach, we pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence and providing the best service for our clients, no matter the challenges. At CameraWorkz, we know that it’s the details that make all the difference!

LIVE CROSS with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Well, as Forrest Gump would say, “I got to meet the Australian Prime Minister, again!”

This morning, we had the privilege of speaking live with PM for Sky First Edition. From the economy to national security and beyond, we covered a lot of ground in our Live Cross this morning.

This Boxing Day marked the 20th anniversary of the devastating tsunami that left an indelible mark on many lives. We were privileged to work with A Current Affair to help bring this important story to light.

We had the opportunity to shoot an emotional interview with Detective Superintendent Melissa Northam of the Federal Police at the AFP building at Cairns Airport. During the interview, Melissa spoke candidly about the impact of the tragedy, and it was clear how deeply it has stayed with those who were part of the response. Witnessing her near tears in recounting the events was a powerful reminder of the personal toll these stories take.

Living in a region vulnerable to cyclones, this reality resonates deeply with us. As we reflect on this anniversary, we're reminded of the sheer power of nature and the devastating impact tidal surges can have on entire communities.

Last night, we had the opportunity to do a live cross with Tony and Lisa Fogg, who, along with their two loyal cattle dogs, Charlie and Daisy, were starting new jobs in a remote Far North Queensland community.

However, what was supposed to be an exciting new chapter for them turned into a life-threatening ordeal. While on the road, a wall of flash floodwater hit their vehicle out of nowhere, sweeping them away in an instant. By sheer luck, they managed to survive, but the damage was significant, and they’ve lost everything.

As they work to recover and rebuild, we’re asking for your help. Please consider supporting Tony and Lisa’s GoFundMe page to assist with their recovery and get them back on their feet.

🙏 Every little bit helps.

Tony and Lisa are the heart of their community, and now it's our turn to rally behind them. Let’s help them restore the lives they've worked so hard to build.

Despite the rain, we still managed to bring the Joy to the World Carols to life tonight in Cairns!
The crowd may have been a little smaller than usual, but the spirit of Christmas was as strong as ever. I’m proud to volunteer my time and equipment to help the team at The Salvation Army Cairns bring this event to the community, and a special shout-out to Major Ben and Tahlia for their hard work and leadership. Big thanks to the incredible volunteers who made it all happen, rain or shine!
Looking forward to another year of making this event shine brighter, no matter the weather!
