We recently conducted an aerial survey for East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority which looked at a stretch of the Mitchell River.

Working with Dale from Fluid Motion, we documented a 5 kilometre stretch of river and bank which will have willows removed, the banks destabilised and the area re vegetated.

We will be returning over the life of the project to document the changes.

Drift Media recently completed a fantastic project which utilised GPS mapping and historical information. 

In partnership with the West Gippsland Regional Library and the Wonthaggi Historical Society, the project focussed on 7 sites around the town.

Using portable devices such as iPads and Mp3 recorders, the Historical Society sourced images, wrote scripts and recorded their voiceovers to produce several short form movies.

These movies were then uploaded to a Youtube channel-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdFPl5BdCinYfsTzLP_XUTA

From there, the Youtube movies were linked to GPS points around the town.

Drift Media  in partnership with Mezzanine Productions recently produced a play called Out of the Blue.  The play premiered in San Remo on the 3rd October and centred on men’s health and depression, with a specific focus on rural areas.

Working with some fine local acting talent, the performance was extremely well received, and was reviewed in the South Coast Sentinel Times.

On the success and reaction to the first performance, the play was also performed in Wonthaggi in early November.

It is hoped that the play can tour regional areas in the future.

Drift Media recently produced a short film for the flashmob which occurred as part of Bass Coast Shire’s Ramp It Up festival in November, 2013.

The footage was obtained from 2 locked off cameras, 2 chase cameras, and 9 “crowd sourced” cameras from members of the public.
