At ASFTV we both Location scout and
manage if required.
Many clients also request that we supply Unit support (see
Unit)
2008
This year we were Location Fixers with
ITV Productions and their production “Martin Clunes: A man
and his dogs” (see testimonials) and had a great time traversing
the outback shooting dingoes (with a camera of course) The crew
were great and so was Martin who took the heat and flies in his
stride, even when we had to shoot at the local rubbish tip!
Another UK crew arrived in March, this
time from BBC 4 and their renowned Natural History Unit. ASFTV supplied
a small unit and Location fixed this 1 X 60 minute documentary on
Central Australia ”The Red Heart” to screen later this
year (also see testimonials)
2007
Location highlights have included a
Honda Japan stills campaign at Rainbow Valley. We have also provided
a rustic outback town look for a Tigerlily swimwear shoot (see Australian
Traveller magazine report http://www.australiantraveller.com.au/index.cfm?page_id=2260)
and spent 8 days in the desert near Gosses Bluff with National Geographic
Magazine for their July 08 edition. We have recently worked with
RTL Croatia and are currently working with ITV UK on locations involving
remote Aboriginal communities.
2006
Looking back on last year, March/April
saw us Location Scout and manage a video clip for the well-known
Japanese hip-hop band Ketsumeishi. ASFTV also supplied remote Unit
to make life bearable (and safe) for cast and crew.
Later in the year we pushed into Australia’s
North again, into the crocodile-infested waters of Kakadu National
Park scouting for the OPTA agency and their famous “where the
bloody hell are you?” tourism campaign.
We spent 3 weeks travelling the desert
with the cast and crew of Lonely Planet Television’s “Going
Bush” documentary series for SBS TV. ASFTV supplied personnel,
full catering, camp and emergency equipment for this challenging
desert exercise. Presenters Cathy Freeman (star of the Sydney 2000
Olympics) and Actor Luke Carrol were true professionals and a pleasure
to work with.
We were also Location Managers and
scouts for the Disney Channel Kid’s series “Double Trouble”,
and completed the year working with renowned London Agency Dewynters
PLC on a week-long photoshoot for the Royal Ballet, providing Location
scouting and Production Management in Australia for their world-class
stills campaign designed for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
2005
Mid-year we completed work as Location
Manager on the Nine Network/Southern Star series of “The Alice”.
This is a 22 X 1 hr TV series.
We also returned from our second location
scouting job for acclaimed director Baz Luhrmann’s “Australia”
project, this time in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
2004
At year’s beginning, Alice Springs
Film and Television were Location Fixers for BBC TV on the very
popular live-to-air game show “Lottery Jet Set”.
From February to April we Location
Scouted and Managed for the Southern Star Production Pilot of “The
Alice”, a 1 X 90 minute Telemovie shot on super-16 for the
Nine Network Australia.
In October 2004 we were location scouting
for the Columbia Tri-star production of “Ghostrider”,
a US $80million feature starring Nicolas Cage and based on the Marvel
comic-book character.
2003
A the beginning of the year we Location
scouted the video clip “Forever precious” for Australian
artist Kitana in Bali, Indonesia.
In the middle of 2003 we completed
location scouting in Central Australia for the $310 million Dino
De Laurentis production of the epic feature “Alexander the
Great”, which will be directed by Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge).
Another client for the year was Chatsworth
TV (UK) for BBC 2. This entailed location-fixing for the helicopter-based
international quiz show “Treasure Hunt”, filmed in and
around Alice Springs.
