This clip presents the rewarding experience of being an SES Volunteer. SES Victoria wanted to use video to inspire the Victorian community to consider becoming an SES volunteer. To give these promotional videos an authentic edge we used unscripted interviews with several existing SES volunteers as our starting point. From there were devised an agile production schedule where we filmed a mixture of staged and real life scenes to visually support the underpinning messages.

This was an incredibly rewarding project for Singing Bowl Media to have been involved with. Black Day, Sun Rises, Blood Runs is a 14minute film that is part of the permanent collection at Melbourne Museum’s First Peoples exhibition in the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre. The film looks at the history of massacre and violence on Australia’s frontier. A range of storytellers share their history and memories around sites of violence across Victoria. This particular video is a shorter highlight piece used to promote the exhibition. We took a sensitive, fluid and cinematic approach to produce the film. Working alongside Indigenous curator, and Filmmaker Genevieve Grieves and Cinematographer David Franjic. There were many early mornings in the middle of winter filming with frosty feet! Locations that have very limited access, and incredible stories and insights into our shared history.

‘Words with Wings’ was part of the Creative Learning Partnerships program. It was a partnership with artist Kate Gorringe-Smith and Point Cook College, a culturally diverse school community where sixty-one different languages are spoken. To help Creative Victoria illustrate this multifaceted education project, we created a case study video that could show what actually happened and why the learning involved was so profound. This video quickly and creatively communicated the nuances of this project in a way that a text version couldn’t. It has been screened to many teachers and artists across Victoria, showing them what’s possible when delivering a cross-curricular arts project within a school.

Brewed by Belinda uses this video on their websites landing page, social channels and at trade shows.

We developed a fun, quirky, tongue-in-cheek concept, that would give the students the information they needed in a playful and entertaining way.

This case study video features educators and parents discussing the benefits of three-year-old Kindergarten. The challenge was filming quality footage with little people who move around A LOT! This whole video was shot in one day. We got there in the end but you have to film twice as much as usual when working with children.

This video looks at the construction of the Joan Kirner Hospital and features some of the local Victorian businesses that are contributing to this project. As part of a strategic marketing campaign, the department wanted to increase awareness of Local Jobs First and encourage local business to express interest in contracting to major government projects across the state - growing local jobs. The department required a suite of promotional videos to highlight the benefits of Local Jobs First through the insights of real examples across regional and metro projects. Using a mixture of voice over and interviews with business owners, we were able to provide a snappy engaging video that helped to quickly deliver the ‘big picture’ overview as well as some of the direct impacts for local businesses. The videos were used on the new landing page for Local Jobs Victoria, at presentations and on social media.

They wanted to give families an insight into their exceptional staff, unique city location and quality education program.

This is one of four films created by Singing Bowl Media for Melbourne Museums First Peoples exhibition at the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre. The films are based on scenes from the famous Blandowski illustrations of Victorian Aboriginal people handing down cultural traditions through story, song, dance and ceremony. Objects were taken from the Museum collection to a bush setting along the Murray River in the Gunbower State Park near Koondrook, Victoria and were used by three generations of members from the Baraba Baraba and Wemba Wemba communities. Produced by Singing bowl Media for Melbourne Museum.

The Australian Museum wanted a series of conceptual exhibition films as part of their Garrigarrang: Sea Country exhibition to tell the creation stories of Indigenous costal communities.

This video presents a highlight of one of the films Singing bowl Media produced.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a long-standing tradition of fighting for Country and continue to serve with honour among our military forces. They have also worked in ancillary, industry, and other home-front activities, and their communities have been thrust into the front line of theatres of war. To produce the films, Singing Bowl Media filmed on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait. We worked collaboratively with a Cultural Leader and the exhibition team to create high quality, visually mesmerising video pieces that could be screened as part of the exhibition.

Steel Structures 101 is part of a docu-series education resource for RMIT students. The Behind the Hoarding case study series uses the New Academic Street building works as a real life example of considerations and challenges that go into a large construction management project.
