21.01.2022 Fast Facts Friday the 13th Being wary of Friday the 13th is much more than a quaint superstition observed by a few uneducated people in distant, unreachable towns and hamlets. Throughout the world, millions of people dread that date to the extent that it can be officially classified as a phobia. So why is Friday the 13th considered such an evil day?... The origins aren’t perfectly clear, but we do know that both Friday and the number 13 have long been considered unlucky. It was around the late 19th century that the first documented instances started popping up of people putting the two together to form the unluckiest day of all. In Christianity, Friday is considered to be the day that Eve gave Adam the apple and they were kicked out of the Garden of Eden. The Temple of Solomon was also said to have been destroyed on Friday. And Jesus was traditionally considered to have been crucified on a Friday, the day we refer to now as Good Friday. Prior to Christianity, the name Friday was chosen in honor of the Norse goddess Frigg, also known as Freyja, who was the multitalented goddess of love, beauty, wisdom, war, death, and magic. Teutonic people are thought to have considered the day extremely unlucky, especially for weddings. The Hindus believed that it was bad luck for 13 people to gather together for any purpose at the same time. The Vikings told a very similar story. Not all cultures in the ancient world recoiled at the number 13. The Ancient Egyptians believed life was a spiritual journey that unfolded in stages. They believed that 12 of those stages occurred in this life, but last, the 13th, was a joyous transformative ascension to an eternal afterlife. Whatever the case, despite these quite old origin theories, there are well documented instances of the notion that Friday and the 13th were popularly considered unlucky among the masses. Do you have a superstition you can't deny ? No superstitions here ... but we do love Friday !!!

20.01.2022 New production suite!

20.01.2022 We’re excited to be working on a 50 year video for Blackwater Mine. Our team had a ball this morning filming some ‘oldies’ reminiscing about the early days at the mine. So many stories that really should be captured before they fade from the memories of those who have made such a contribution.

11.01.2022 MICOMM was pleased to produce this short event overview video from the recent #QueenslandGovernment ICE Regional Community Engagement Summit held in #Rockhampton.
