This project took us to the historic Independent Theatre in North Sydney, where we filmed the State Government Housing Reforms Community Information Evening, hosted by North Sydney Council.
This important event brought residents, local officials, and government representatives together for a transparent discussion on significant upcoming changes to housing policy in NSW. The council’s goal was simple but vital: to ensure the broader community could access the same information shared in the room, even if they couldn’t attend in person.

Our Role: A Seamless, Professional Record of the Entire Evening
To deliver exactly what was needed, we deployed a 2-camera setup:
- A wide-angle camera to establish the space and provide a full-stage view
- A second, tighter shot to focus on individual speakers, presentations, and moments of audience interaction
We worked closely with the venue’s AV team to take a direct audio feed from the theatre deck, ensuring that every word spoken — from panel speakers to audience questions — was captured clearly.
The final delivery was a clean, uncut multicam full-length edit. The edit was turned around promptly, ready for the Council to publish online for residents to view on demand.
This 11-minute video is a short sample of the complete project, included here to showcase the kind of fast-turnaround, event documentation services we provide to government bodies, councils, and community organisations.

Why It Matters
Projects like this highlight the power of video to promote transparency, civic participation, and accessibility. When government and local councils make decisions that shape the future of our neighbourhoods, video can help keep those conversations open and available — not just for one evening, but for everyone, anytime.
