Part 1 of 3 of the epicness of Vivid 2025. This is the second time I have been brought in house at Destination NSW to produce the film and photography elements at Vivid, the first being back in 2023. It's a massive undertaking with tonnes of moving parts, scheduling 5 in house camera teams, multiple external companies, and nearly a dozen photographers over a footprint reaching from Darling Harbour to the Opera House.
This time with the added element of casting and crewing in house, which meant filling nearly 40 roles in 4 business days for me! Whew! Nailed it though, stay tuned for part 3 to see the results!
Couldnt have done it without the wonderful support of the Content and Creative Services team at DNSW, a swathe of amazing contractors infront and behind the camera and the generosity of the landowners, councils and private businesses that all assisted us.
Here are a few of my BTS snaps (and first one from Demas Rusli) from across the festival, real photography and video highlights to follow in parts 2 and 3!
