Dog Safety Harnesses

12.17.2014 by Hayley Rollason //

Produced whilst employed at IAG Research Centre, this short video was originally produced as Facebook content to accompany a media release. See an example of the media storm in this SMH article: Crash Test Doggies.

As our high speed camera was having issues at this time the high speed footage was shot with the help of Macs Image. Shooting at 500 frames per second I certainly had a ton of work to do rotoscoping the logo behind the car.

These shots get reused in the Purina PetLife Roadie video and can be see across the interwebs in various videos produced out of the media release.

Once again I am in this video somewhere. Can you find me? HINT: I am NOT one of the dogs!

Purina Petlife Roadie

05.17.2014 by Hayley Rollason //

Produced whilst employed at IAG Research Centre, this video came out of the Dog Safety Harness media release and a testing relationship between Purina and Research Centre. After NRMA Insurance endorsed the Purina Petlife Roadie it made sense for Purina to enlist the Audio Visual team to produce their promotional video.

With a collaborative scripting process between Purina and Research Centre, my colleague and I went about sourcing and scheduling shooting with willing dog owners. The dogs where quite adorable and in general easy to work with. There was one exception, the pug! A manic little fur ball, he managed to get himself tangled in the harness, sending a cloud of fur through my colleagues car filling the remaining shots with a haze of hair.

This video is one of my favourites that I have been involved with whilst at Research Centre. A validating part of that may have something to do with the incredible view count that this video has, 436,479 as of June 2015. I was even YouTubing “funny cat videos” one day and this came up as an advert. How exciting!

My colleague took on the editing of this video and in the end three versions were produced, one for Purina to use internally, a one min version and a 1.5 min version, the shorter one is the one with 400,00+ views. We were told that following the media release and the launch of this video campaign, Purina Petlife Roadie was selling out across Australia. A great result, a great production to be apart of and one everyone should be proud of.

Safety Features

03.26.2014 by Hayley Rollason //

Produced whilst employed at IAG Research Centre for the NRMA Insurance and SGIO Insurance brand, this video responds to a remarkable lack of understanding of vehicle safety features, how they work and how to know if you car has them. Wandering around the Newington Marketplace reinforced this with some of the vox pops responses totally off the mark.

This video is a collage of footage collected through years of research by Research Centre.

Tech Specs:
Shot on Canon DSLRs, GoPros, using a combo of natural lighting and LED light panels.
High speed shot on NAC Memrecam HX-6.
Edited in Final Cut Pro 6 with graphics and animation completed in Adobe Photoshop and After Effects.
