You all know Sidey. One of the most talented guys in the business and creative genius. But how can every one of us be creative, write great scripts and do remarkable work and do we need an R8 for it? Well, the last question is personal – I would go for a Porsche, but..does great Imaging has the need to be creative or is this non sense and it is all about turn around time, quick in and out and delivery of facts….What THE hell is CREATIVITY in radio imaging? Check my interview with Sidey! (more…)
This is the story of one of Australia’s young talented imaging directors, who decided to leave radio (he used to work with David Konsky and Matt Nikolic at Austereo/Southern Cross) and make his dream come true:
Matt wanted to travel around the world with his girlfriend.
After 9 month of life changing experiences, Matt used his inspiration to get back in radio and landed a gig at NOVA. Read Matt’s story and follow his journey around the world! This is a manifest for radio imaging! (more…)
A few weeks ago, our VO talent Harry sent me some great stuff from an Ozzi newcomer and I was really digging it, so I finally connected with him and interviewed him for you guys. Dom is based in Melbourne and with his 23 years he’s one of the upcoming talents in Australia’s imaging scene.
Hear some great Ozzi style imaging, learn what plugIns rock down under and how much a great recruiting and training system can make a difference! Enter Dom Evans! (more…)
I really love working with young and aspiring imaging talents. It’s a great thing to see how young people develop, get inspired and one day are better than the guy educated them. Benztown’s philosopy was always to educate, share knowledge and grow together. I often use Mr. Miyagi as the perfect role model and Australia has a lot of them. BT, David Konsky, Matt Nikolic, Chris Davis, Sidey – just to name a few.
Triple M‘s Brendan Tacey has developed a great recruitment system, which gets youngsters into the scene and helps established producers extend their work and talent.
Check out how Ozzi Imaging Veteran BT is using his networking skills and talent for scouting new talents and aside develops the new Ozzi imaging elite. Enter BT (Head of Imaging for Southern Cross / Austereo) (more…)

My friend David Konsky did it again. After his awesome Return 2011 Promo, he created another piece of magic. There is not much stuff on air, which makes me freak out, but this piece does!
Check the short interview:
What was the brief for this spectacular beatmix promo ?I’d made a return promo for 2011 in similar fashion but only in a 30 second format with voice over. Half way of 2011 our PD wanted to showcase top 30 tracks so far and left it up to me to create magic. Brief was 30 songs in under 3 minutes.
How did you started such a massive project? I started with a list of 40-50 songs and established what would and wouldn’t work key wise and then put it together from there.
How long did it take? 4 – 5 hours in total.
Check a screen cap from David’s massive Session and listen to one best beatmixes ever ! (more…)
