Our Kimberley trip wrapped up with us completing the iconic Gibb River Road, interviewing a mate at Mt Barnett Roadhouse, visiting the majestic Windjana Gorge, feeding crocs in Broome, getting well bogged on the mud flats and then one of the highlights of our trip - ABEL CATCHING HIS FIRST FISH!!! The excitement was real 🤩 🎣
This was such an amazing trip, one we will never forget as a family. It wasn't all waterfalls and sunsets, it was also tantrums (we had to embarrassingly apologise at Banana Well Getaway when a sprinkler was broken in an angry 7 year old rage 😅), it was hand foot and mouth and one very traumatic night at the Bungle Bungle Caravan Park, it was madly scratching at midge bites, it was a mosquito plague in Broome, the list goes on. But it's funny that as time passes, those memories fade, and the beautiful ones get stronger. So glad we did it.
Anyway, if you want to see what the crew got up to, and see a few shots of the kids - including the fish catch, check out Oz Off Road today at 2pm on Channel 9 or anytime on 9Now 😁🐟🎥

Last year we had the privilege of traveling to Finland to film a television commercial for Terrain Tamer 4WD . What an experience! Freezing cold temperatures, snow driving, log cabins and meeting Timo - the owner of a mechanical workshop OFFROADTARVIKE. A straight shooter, hard worker and such a welcoming host - he cooks lunch for his workers every day!
We're very proud of how this TVC turned out; we have uploaded the extended edit for you to see. It is so beautiful over there and we can't wait to get back.
The 30 second version will be airing for the next few months during the AFL and NRL - keep an eye out for it!

Gavin Rawlings was recently interviewed about how he uses his SONY cameras in the field.
There's a reason why my nickname for him in my phone is 'The Nerd'...

ARTICLE EXCERPT

"He continues to refine the workflows he uses with Sony cameras. He said, “Our workflows vary depending on the projects. For instance when we are filming the remote area travel shows like Oz Off Road, we shoot in SLOG/X-OCN with the BURANO and generate proxies in camera. Then we can use a Starlink connection to upload and organise those proxies onto our LucidLink cloud drive.

“From there I’ll usually create a FCP (final cut pro) library in an app called PostLab, designed for remote editing and collaboration. While I’m out in the field an assistant editor will be assembling edits and once I return I’ll take over and finish the edit. We then export an XML into DaVinci Resolve and re-link to the original Sony footage and finish the grade. The SLOG and RAW footage is great to work with in Resolve.”
