Running CHUCK. has never been a linear road to unvarnished success.

2025 was a year that felt a lot more circular than most, both in the positive and the ....less positive...

We relocated back to Australia after a year in Spain. It was a huge experiment that landed wonderfully if day drinking and joy de vivre are the metric. Business growth, less so.

The return to Aussie shores made sense for the family, the kids and the business. But it also felt like a return to the starting line.

A slow start to the year gave way to a really quite explosive second act. It was as though our old clients all came knocking once they knew I was back!

But with that came an existential question- is this still what I REALLY want to do?

It has been a year of rebuilding after our return and it feels like we're just now humming at the same vibration as the start of 2024.

The scenic route back to the starting blocks. BUT...

A lot has changed in that time. Business environment, AI pipeline, client requirements. And my mindset.

Coming back to CHUCK full tilt this year made me realise how much I enjoy the day to day of my work.

The variety of work we do. The insights into varying different industries.

(and yes, the gear tinkering. I like the toys too).

My brain appears to be wired to the unruliness of running a video production house. And it has been pretty nice to re-realise that.

So cheers 2025, you've been instruction and invigorating,

Even if you gave me a bit if a scare at the start there :)

Oh and this picture is a visual metaphor, please field your interpretations in the comments:

Had to watch myself in an edit this week. Excruciating.

So for those nervous interviewees- I get it. So....

-if you're in the spotlight for an interview, here's a few tips:

🎥 You’re not delivering a speech
Think conversation, not presentation. You’re talking to one person, not an audience of thousands.

🧠 Know your point, not your script
If you memorise lines, it shows. Instead, be clear on the one or two ideas you want to land and speak naturally around them.

⏸️ Pause more than you think you should
Silence isn’t awkward on camera — rushing is. Take a breath. We can edit pauses, not panic.

👀 Look at the human, not the lens
If there’s an interviewer, talk to them. Real connection always beats perfect eye-line.

❤️ Be human, not polished
Small imperfections are what make you believable. Authentic beats slick every time.

So as much as it may feel excruciating to step in front of the camera,
just go for honest, relaxed, and real.

You'll come across like less of a turkey and hopefully you'll have a bit more fun in the process.

I completely forgot I'd worked with Warhurst!

I was looking back through some projects this week and there she was!

This one I shot for , directed by the always delightful Haigh.

It was such a fun day, we were in a lovely cottage up on the Northern Beaches with a great team.

Doyle and Co had put together a really fun campaign for their client and we were there to bring it to life!

A little bit of Daryl Braithwait and hey presto, branding magic 😅

Some subtle lighting tricks from old mate Knight for some magic sprinkles on top.

Love days like those- more of those please! (And yes, Myf was just as delightful as you would imagine)

On the ground at the Gartner HR Symposium at the Hilton Sydney last week, capturing a series of client testimonials.

When attendees share their experiences on camera, you’re not just gathering feedback—you’re capturing authentic, in-the-moment reflections while the insights are fresh and the energy is high.
(But the feedback is handy too...)

Video testimonials don’t just give a recap—they turn conference excitement into long-lasting influence. Pretty handy!

Love it when the content actually moves the dial.

High fives to Sayali Shilevant , Jessica Zuber and the Gartner team for nailing another big event!

Thanks for bringing your skills !

Happy birthday to me!

Been busy in an edit for a new series for one of our clients and so a bit quiet on the socials, but...

took a day out to hike a mountain, go for a swim, have lunch with mi esposa.

And since my face is now so sunburnt and haggard (from the encroaching years), I will mark this birthday with this smooth skinned AI generated approximation of how I look as a 43 year old.

Over a decade ago, I did a lot of work with newspaper when they launched in Australia.

They had a big focus on cultural events at the time, and so I was capturing them.

It was a pretty amazing gig! I would go along with one of the Guardian cultural writers and shoot away.
Sometimes we'd have an interview with the artist, sometimes a critique from the journalist of the exhibition. Always a first look at some pretty incredible shows.

This one was from the Pop To Popism show at the of NSW. Timelapse was pretty big at the time, so I was able to experiment with a few different approaches. (But a 3 minute video? Who did I think I was, Denis Villeneuve?)

It was a foot in the door that I'm grateful for, and a window into our cultural landscape which for a moment there was wide open.

Very proud to have collaborated in the Brussels Round Table: Sickle Cell Disease Improving Care Transitions for Sickle Cell Patients Across Europe.

Our team created a short film shown at the Brussels roundtable, bringing to life the real experiences of people living with sickle cell disease as they transition from paediatric to adult care.

It’s one thing to discuss data, frameworks, and policy — but hearing and seeing the human stories behind them changes everything.

This project reminded us that collaboration isn’t just about organisations coming together — it’s about listening, empathy, and amplifying the voices that too often go unheard.

A huge thanks to everyone involved in this initiative: the European sickle cell community, EuroBloodNet, the European Sickle Cell Federation, and the dedicated teams at Pfizer, Novo Nordisk, and MHP Group who continue to drive meaningful change.

And of course to our video subjects, and . Both incredibly gracious, generous with their time and courageous in sharing their patient journeys.

And thanks again to our wonderful crew in Belgium and . True professionals.

The hope is that every young person living with a rare disease can move confidently into adult care — supported, seen, and understood.

Just wrapped the project we shot in Belgium. It made me think how lucky I've been to work in a few different countries.
I hadn't put a list together before, but ...

In no particular order, here's a few snaps from jobs around the globe.

When those things all come together, it really is a dream job.
Meet some cool people, make some nice pictures, learn some new stuff and travel somewhere new.
Pretty amazing.

(But also still stoked to tell a story about a local start-up in Granville or something! Ticks pretty much the same boxes TBH)

Props to JD from for allowing me to take part in his journey of discovery in the Philippines.
Thanks to Brennan for the beautiful images in the USA.
And to dubois and destouches for their work in Brussels of course!

Sun's out: Conference Season!

250 delegates from all over APAC made it to Sydney for the Avnet Management Conference.

Mai Osuga , Alfonso Tsang and the rest of the team at PTC Express Travel performed expertly in guiding this huge undertaking.

As always, Barnaby Downes and motion brought their A game.

Loved working with the guys and exploring some classic Sydney locations as a tourist.

Epic wrap-up video incoming!

Getting prepped for another trip.

Which country is next week's story coming from? OK, here's some clues:

- This country has 3 official languages, but is mostly known for the 2 commonly spoken
- Black, Yellow and Red are the colours on the flag
- A famous dish from here is more famously attributed to another country....
