Monday 24th September Jason Van Genderen (pictured second from left) along with Shane Emmett, Brian Dyer and John Roy swept the major awards at Geelong 24 Hours Shoot Out Film Festival and made history by not only submitting two entries, their winning film 'CARRION" didn't even utilise a video camera. 'CARRION' – a 2.5 minute short film was shot entirely on an Olympus digital stills camera. The dark, experimental film follows the story of a murdered man traversing a dystopic world, bereft of time and reason. Shot in the alleyways and streets of Geelong, the film was actually the second in-camera film to be made by the crew in 24 hours, who managed to also produce the top 10 comedy 'Hoodie' - a fractured fairytale based on Little Red Riding Hood and featuring narration by Rodney Rude and Rove McManus. The Central Coast crew collected 3 awards in total: “Best Sound Design” for Hoodie, “Best Cinematography” and “Best Film” for CARRION. Well done guys!

	Project identity The project started off with the client’s idea for the photography – Kelly’s Beach in full moonlight. Extensive retouching was necessary to perfect the illusion and contrast. Next the logo device was created to set the mood for ‘DUNE’, which imitates ripples in the sand. This led to the brochure’s finishes of gold foiling and embossing to complement the logo design and overall project branding. The final step of the project was to produce a discounted ‘early bird’ VIP gift card for the launch night of DUNE, complete with personalised names.

	Legend Has It... Plunge searched for a name that would encapsulate the target market’s desire for communication as well as the essence of what backpacking is all about. Insight from travel-blog entries revealed that backpackers think of themselves as independent individuals with unique travel stories that are worth telling. “Legend has it” — the place where your travel stories, adventures and love affairs begin in Australia, New Zealand or Fiji. As well as brochure and signage material, current executions have included the logo adaptations for each of the “Legend has it…”-properties (customer communications), for industry communication and visionary affairs.
