Consultant to film Shoots in Australia and South Pacific region
Marine Boy Productions have proven to be very successful serving as a consultant to visiting “marine theme” natural history production companies and professional stills photographers. This is largely due to Marine Boy Productions vast experience and network of contacts within Australia and the South Pacific. Robert Torelli is a seasoned underwater cameraman and knows all the “ins and outs” of underwater video production and underwater photography. Furthermore, Robert has over 30 years experience diving through out Australia and the South Pacific region. These facts ensure they will offer expert advice and support.
Recent jobs include the organization of three very successful shoots for Galatee Films from France. Filming their large format production titled OCEANS; Robert organised shoots to film both Spider Crabs along with Elephant fish in his nearby waters of Port Phillip and Westernport Bays near Melbourne. Marine Boy Productions also served as consultants and Robert Torelli as the expedition leader for the organisation of an extended shoot to film Killer Whales in New Zealand. This organisation included successfully obtaining permits, chartering boats, selecting accommodation, providing support staff and lots more. Galatee Films obtained great results in all three projects.
Another recent job was in the production of “Dolphins and Whales 3 D” for the Imax screen. Here is what they had to say regarding Marine Boy Productions assistance:
Testimonial
"Thank you for all help while we were filming our large format film production Dolphins and Whales 3D.
You assistance not only with logistics but also your on-location guidance was great. As always when shooting at sea it seems one has to deal with bad weather, and shooting in New Zealand and Australia was no exception. Working next to you in the water was easy, as we were always on the same page, even though the Ocars were somewhat elusive. We all appreciate the effort you put in capturing some of the images of the Humpback Wales which really helped the finished product."
Gavin McKinney, Director of Photography, 3 D Entertainment, July 2008.
