Project: Tourism & Events Queensland 2023
In 2023 Descent Productions ran a project on Heron and Wilson Island, finishing up the Southern Great Barrier Reef regional component of our extensive Queensland Underwater project. Tourism & Events Queensland required a powerhouse underwater film team to capture a range of ocean based destinations for a promotional campaign focused on driving domestic tourism to the Great Barrier Reef.
Our team of 6 ran all aspects of the production from pre-production, acquiring film permits, scheduling operators, and managing talent, to on location production and managing run sheets, through to post production, where our in house editing team delivered a series finished films showcasing the glory of The Southern Great Barrier Reef, and an array of still images.
Underwater Highlight Reel
This isn’t a story driven destination film. There’s no story, no fancy SFX, no fast cuts, and no visual effects to hold your attention. This is just some straight up underwater footage to show you what our filmmakers are capable of. Even without all the fancy editing, I bet this will blow your mind, and maybe even loosen a few tears.
The Destination Films
In addition to producing the above film content which will be utilised across various campaigns in the years to come, our team also produced a series of destination films. Each of these films have been produced with a light story and sound design to promote a specific destination or attraction. Additionally social cuts have been provided for each film.
The Image Gallery
Alongside film production which was our teams primary objective, our photographers also captured a range of still imagery above and below the water.
