23.01.2022 We are delighted to have been asked to show our first VR film, The Antarctica Experience , at this year's World Congress of Science Producers in Tokyo. We are in fantastic company as part of the Immersive: VR Headsets sessions, with showings for attendees running every day, December 2-5th. If you're going, we'd love to hear what you think of our film. Sadly Briege Whitehead can't be in Tokyo at this time as she's been asked to speak about climate change and show the film at a major international event to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the signing of The Antarctic Treaty in Buenos Aires. After this historic event, on the 4th December, The Antarctica Experience begins its international public roll-out at the city's Science Museum.

23.01.2022 A special thanks to @westozactiveadventuretours who guided our team through the incredible gorges of Karijini National Park. We had the pleasure of interviewing Josh Huitson for our recent production Impossible Planet. Karijini National Park offers a remarkable rugged scenery and geological formation. This incredible place varies with an extraordinary ecosystem and a range of vast structures created by erosion. The erosion slowly carved the landscape of the rocks that are now an incredible 2,500 million years old! #explore #karijininationalpark #naturephotography #adventuretime #WA #impossibleplanettv

21.01.2022 After careful consideration of all the creative and hilarious suggestions, we are excited to announce we have named our brand new Insta360 Titan VR camera 'Mark' (aka 'Marky Mark') in honour of the recently re-elected and much loved Premier of WA, Mark McGowan. He has committed to building a world-class film studio and facilities in Perth, which will strengthen the WA film industry to compete on the global stage! When we film with our 360 VR cameras, they become a part of our crew so they need to be personable and relatable. Eight lenses will put anyone off so instead of a camera with eight eyes, our Titan is personified and becomes Mark - a much loved member of our team! Mark enjoys long runs and eating kebabs.

Principal production investment from Screen Australia in association with Screenwest & Lotterywest. Financed with support from the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources, the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) and CSIRO.

14.01.2022 NAME OUR CAMERA! With everything happening in Perth at the moment, what better time to distract ourselves with a little competition! We need to name our new Insta360 Titan VR camera. Our Insta360 Pro is named Wilson (à la Castaway), he has a friend named Chappy and now our Titan needs a human name to suit its larger than life personality. ... If you have a suggestion for what to call this 5.5kg beast with 8 lenses we'd love to hear it. May the best name win!

01.01.2022 A big shout out to @underworldadventuresnz who guided our crew through the Nile River Cave System deep in the Paparoa National Park Te Ananui Cave System. We had the pleasure of interviewing amazing tour guide Mira Schwill, for our recent production Impossible Planet. Treasures lie hidden beneath the cloak of forest that covers the limestone rock and ridges of the dramatic and rugged West Coast. A network of caves, carved from soft limestone over 200,000 years ago follow the... pathways of the ancient rivers and form an intricate and complex systems. These subterranean passages vary from huge chambers to impassable cracks where only the wind wriggles its way through. While locals had been exploring these mazes for years, it was only in 1989 that Underworld Adventures with passion and a few wetsuits was founded to offer guided tours to the public of this hidden world. Pictured are the glow worms alluring, fine and sticky threads. They look like mini crystals hanging from the cave ceilings, but their real purpose is far more sinister...
