Commercial Production Team

The Producer/Director holds a Bachelor of Education (Hons), and is experienced at writing and producing educational videos, and adapting this for educational materials in other media, having recently worked to produce materials for Yirara College and Community Services & Health Training Australia. His educational work has been published in the Australian Journal of Language and Literacy and the Northern Territory English Teachers’ Journal. His art direction and audio production skills have formed the basis of Imparja’s art direction for 2004, and his audio work has been used by ABC’s Reality Bites series.

One Editor/Cameraman has a certificate IV in Multimedia and has edited numerous long and short-form productions for our clients. He was nominated for “best editing” for the short film “roadkill” which toured Australia, Spain, Indonesia and was selected for screening at the Edinburgh Film Festival.

Another Commercial Production Editor/Cameraman is a local indigenous man and has worked extensively with CAAMA productions on many award winning Nganampa documentaries. He is experienced in cutting to vision with aboriginal languages. He has worked in indigenous communities across the Territory and has an excellent insight into many facets of cultural issues and how these relate to broadcast production.

Our Copywriter holds both a Diploma of Teaching and a Diploma of Editing and Proofreading. She has travelled extensively and has written for children and taught worldwide. She edits best-selling Australian children’s books and has written many successful scripts for our clients at Imparja television.

As a Territory-based team, we combine many perspectives. We have a very broad client base, built on years of working closely with clients to deliver a product that exceeds their expectations.


Commercial Production Equipment

We shoot in JVC’s digital D9 format and use JVC-made D9 cassettes. This offers higher quality colour reproduction and clarity without the digital artifacts of DV or the analogue inconsistencies of BetaSP. We have a fully portable lighting rig, comprising Dedolight feature spots and Arri redheads and 2K lights. We use boom-mounted Sennheiser shotgun mics for location recording.

For editing we use an uncompressed 8bit codec that allows us to retain high-quality image information and causes no degradation or generational loss during the editing process. Our data rates for video comprise around ten times the video information of a compressed DV or DVCAM stream used by other production houses. Our 1.2 terrabyte fibre-channel editing drive is fully RAID protected - meaning that drive loss or project loss is impossible. We have the safest and highest quality editing systems for broadcast in the Territory.

Being part of a television station, we can master our video to all popular video formats, including Digital Betacam, BetaSP, DVCAM, or even one-inch.
