One line: Ten food and drink partners, one week on the coast.

Client: Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism ·

Role: Planning, photography, editing, talent ·

Delivered: Stills and reels for 10 businesses, campgrounds, a spa and the region

For Taste Great Ocean Road, GORRT wanted each of its food and drink partners to receive a set of professional photos and a short reel. The same trip needed to cover its partner campgrounds, a newly upgraded spa, and the region in between.

We spent a week on the road in a JUCY campervan. Every venue got the same treatment: the people who run it, the food, the room, and a guest arriving. Between stops, the story followed a traveller moving down the coast, from coffee to lunch to a pint, then walking it off at Cape Otway Lightstation or along a boardwalk.

That way each business got content of its own, and GORRT got a set that works together as one regional campaign.

I shot the stills, stepped in as talent and edited everything, photo and video.
