Mark 'Chopper' Read. John Jarratt. Two big names; two big personalities. One aspires to Ned Kelly's legend; the other played the iron-armoured legend in a made-for-television movie. On 11th May, Chopper and Jarratt -- and the Carringbush Hotel in Collingwood -- represented the eye of a filmmaking and media storm. Just days after Chopper revealed to the world that he was battling liver cancer, and with Jarratt due to fly to the New Orleans set of Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" the following week, Matt and Trevor Holcomb re-assembled the "Pinball" army to get one more 'Chopper' scene in the can while they could. And journalists from Melbourne's major news organisations, including the Herald Sun and Channels 9 and 10, descended on the Collingwood set to see if they could.

Last December, the Holcomb brothers commenced production on their debut feature film, "Pinball", written and directed by Matt and produced and edited by Trevor. "Pinball" is a retelling of Cain and Abel as an urban crime western and features Mark 'Chopper' Read, playing a slightly fictionalised version of himself. "Pinball" is the first Australian feature to be shot with Panavision anamorphic lenses since 1997, and may end up having the dubious honour of being one of the last local features to be shot on 35mm. According to Trevor, "We always wanted to get Chopper for the film and shoot it on 35mm with anamorphic glass. In this business it's hard to get what you want, and to have had a couple of big wins so early is a nice feeling. But an even better feeling is seeing what we've already shot and cut turn out as good as we all hoped it would." www.pinball-movie.com

When making a commercial for the biggest sporting club in the country, you need to think on a large scale. Collingwood Football Club's 2012 membership drive was filmed with three cameras, a 60-foot green screen, a Collingwood Army and features a voice over from the incredible Jack Thompson. Joining forces with Spike Creative and the award-winning sound design team at Bang Bang Studios, we built on the previous year's commercial. This time, the Collingwood Army marches up against a 10,000 strong army guarding the MCG like a fortress. Love them or hate them, you have to check it out for yourself.

Shooting two commercials in one day is not unusual, but when you have a pair of disparate creative concepts, it should be impossible to find one location that can service them both. The creative duo of Director Matt Holcomb and Producer/ Editor Trevor Holcomb were asked to do just that. Their new series of playful spots for Adriatic Furniture via the Sphere Agency was shot on a sprawling, Hamptons-style estate on the Mornington Peninsula. The unexpected location made what should be impossible, possible - and suited the spots down to a tee. Click here to check out the spots for yourself.

After last year's successful membership campaign, we were once again asked to create something big for Collingwood Football Club's membership drive. We can't reveal too much at the moment, but one thing is for sure - this year's spot will make last year's look like child's play. Stay tuned...

SceneOn has teamed up with Spike Creative to direct a massive spot for St. Kilda Football Club. The 2012 membership drive campaign was filmed over two days, in five locations with three cameras - including one mounted on a helicopter. Team this with the thunderstorm from hell, over 2000 extras and a voice over from Eric Bana, "Line in the Sand" is proof that bigger sometimes really is better.
