Hello and welcome from Brisbane, Australia.

If you want to hire a freelance cinematographer, television camera operator, DP or licensed drone pilot in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales, then I can offer you 20 years of experience in filming, lighting, sound recording and production planning.

My background in news and current affairs continues to this day with my work at both of the nation’s public broadcasters, ABCTV and SBS. I am also contracted by many production houses supplying content to local and international broadcasters.

Some of my most recent credits include OUR LAW SERIES 2 produced by Periscope Pictures and Pink Pepper, INSIGHT (SBS), LANDLINE (ABCTV), EMERGENCY produced by WTFN Entertainment, AMBULANCE AUSTRALIA produced by Endemol Shine Australia, OUTBACK OPAL HUNTERS produced by Prospero Productions and THE WORLD’S MOST SCENIC RAILWAY JOURNEYS produced by BriteSpark Films.

In 2022 I was awarded a Gold Tripod by the Australian Cinematographers Society at the national awards for my work on THE WITCH OF KINGS CROSS, a feature length, dramatised documentary by Director Sonia Bible.

Some of my work with corporate and business brands includes KPMG, Cricket Australia, Sydney Opera House, Greenpeace, New South Wales Government and the Australian Football League.

I come for hire as an owner/operator so these are the cameras that I work with most regularly -

• Sony FX6

• Sony A7S3

• DJI Mavic 2 Pro

• DJI Mini Pro 4

As the director of a proprietary and limited company Black Jelly Films here in Brisbane, Australia, your production is covered by most of the relevant insurances needed for filming.

I am formally licensed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) in Australia, to operate drones weighing up to 7kg. I am the holder of Remote Pilot License # 1062319. My company is the holder of RPA Operator’s Certificate (ReOC) # 1220289. These operations are covered under the company’s public liability insurance.

If there is anything you would like to know about me or filming in this part of the world then I’ll gladly answer any questions you may have.

NICK DUNLOP - Story Producer / Editor - Our Law Series 2

Hi mate, I have been working with your footage for several days now. You have done a bloody awesome job.  That epic day you drove out to the cultural site with Laurie and Pat- you aced it with the coverage.  Thank you for going the extra 27 miles.

Now I’m working on Patricia in Cherbourg and again your careful attention to detail is paying off in spades. So nice to get good footage, good interviews, good sound, good coverage - from beginning to end.  Such a pleasure to edit.

LAWRENCE DUNN - Head of Production - HiLife Health & Beauty Pty Ltd

Eddy Gill has been our freelance cameraman here at HiLife for the last 5-6 years.

During this time he has worked on a variety of demanding shoots for us, ranging from Green screen work in a variety of different studios, as well as on location shoots at street/beach/house/retail and office locations.

He has filmed testimonials as well as presenter-to-camera pieces and product shots for us, as well as providing valuable direction for the talent.  This has been instrumental in the creation of our television commercials played both on free to air as well as paid TV.

I would highly recommend Eddy Gill, based on his expertise in dealing with a variety of different settings, lighting conditions, and sound recording as well as his positive attitude which makes him extremely easy to work with.
