In the middle of post-production to promote a new product being released by Manfrotto… some great vision and sound effects are being developed. I look out the window and it has just stopped raining. Misty clouds are floating up from the rainforest and following the contours of the mountains and the light is beautiful. It is a privilege to be mixing sound for a global brand while being inspired by the natural beauty of Tropical North Queensland…

Just finished audio-post for videos for the Australian Institute of Marine Science, some great videos too, and started my post-grad, which is an interesting experience getting back into the university environment. Will help a start-up get up and running and will keep you updated – a very useful business that you will want to engage.

March is off to a flying start with the application for the ABC Open Producer position submitted, www.michaelbromage.com to find out more, and the release of Refugee of Love’s March chapter, www.refugeeoflove.com/chapters/0310/05_0310.html, which includes multimedia about Africa. There’s a few more multimedia and storytelling projects in the pipeline as well as business development so I’ll keep you updated as we go.

During March Sydney band THEART are touring with The Pixies and if you haven’t been to a good rock concert for a while this is your chance – www.myspace/THEART

I’m going for the ABC Open Multimedia Producer position for Cairns, Far North Queensland. Help me get the position by going to www.michaelbromage.com and getting involved by sharing your thoughts! Thank you!

Some good multimedia projects are in the works and I’m especially intrigued by Mark Scott’s ABC Open program. It’s terrific that the ABC are encouraging story-telling and are putting multimedia producers in place to help regional communities share their knowledge, ideas, and tell their stories. I will definitely get involved! Speaking of multimedia and story-telling a chapter from my book Refugee of Love is available to download at: http://www.refugeeoflove.com/chapters/0210/04_0210.html Download and enjoy!
