KOKODA REQUIEM (2010)

As web developer I was asked to create an opening video that utilised aerial footage shot by the ABC of the Kokoda, as well as archival images. The Kokoda Requiem music score was composed prior and the video was cut to the score.

PHEASANT WOOD - Construction Timelapse

This timelapse video documents the construction of the Pheasant Wood Cemetery at Fromelles. It was built in 2010 to rebury 250 British and Australian soldiers whose remains were found in a mass grave in 2008, having been killed in the Battle of Fromelles on 19 July 1916.

My musical intention was to evoke the sense of solemnity, relentless anguish and ultimately the sad resolution that underlay the process.

DVA WAR COMMEMORATION:

Between 2000-2016 I developed the range of Australian War Commemoration websites for the DVA and BOSTES. During this time I had the opportunity to compose music scores for three videos for the Kokoda Track, Korean War and Western Front web sites.
