Aussie SLamfest

Aussie Slamfest series 2012

Slamfest 2012 is bringing the doorslammers back to Darwin

Aussie Slamfest, the ultimate show of Doorslammer horsepower from pro modified Australia comes to Darwin this month in a continuation of the spectacular dry season of motorsports we have been having here.  And this year at HighRPM we have been kicked into a higher gear with the inclusion of myself and Ed Forman onto the team who will be filming the event for SBS Speedweek.

Originally we were excited enough to have been included on the start line as exclusive media to collect stock footage and features, but after being approached by AVE we are now providing the roving start line camera team.

Time to prep that gear, and find someone who can still co-ordinate HighRPM's media team as it looks like we are going to be kept real busy for this one.

Just a taste of things to come, here's the TVC we did up for the Darwin round due to air from tonight on the Southern Cross network.

Amber Walker Playground Workout

Amber Walker is a 2 times world WNBF Best Body champion.  She is a popular fitness and Australian media identity and also GNC ambassador who shares her time between Darwin and Melbourne currently.

A simple, inexpensive routine for a busy lifestyle
Amber Walker's playground workout

Amber recently got me on board to help produce and film her instructional good living fitness series, aimed at proving to mothers that you can keep fit, active and look after yourself quite easily all during the course of a busy day without spending too much and without necessarily needing any specialised equipment.  The great thing is that Amber bases all her work off her own experience, being a proud mum of two herself - the proof is right there.

The playground workout is such a great idea in its simplicity.  Why not give it a shot next time yourself?

I love fun shoots and this last one we finished was exactly that.  Yes the briefs for it were serious enough but the whole thing was just so casual that it didn't even feel like work!

HighRPM covered two briefs for this one and again both Ed Forman and myself were the attending photographers for it.

Ed was booked to do a magazine shoot with the crazy drift car "XDRIFT" owned by well known Territory drift identity, Danny Probert on the day so as a value ad HighRPM decided to send me along for some newspaper promo with local model (not to mention mad drift fan) Stacey Leigh for a late Friday afternoon session.

This year we have already done so much TV work that it has become second nature to lug extra cameras around 'just in case', so it was really no extra hassle to swap around and film a little behind the scenes while on brief.  Here's our quick BTS Video with the added bonus of our US based voiceover talent Mark Eskey making us sound great ;-)
