About
NINJA video house
Thoughtful production starts long before the camera rolls.
Every communication project is different. The same questions tend to emerge.
What are we trying to achieve?
Who needs to understand it?
What needs to happen for this project to be successful?
They're simple questions, but they're rarely simple to answer.
That's the work I enjoy most.
NINJA video house was founded in Melbourne to help organisations bring important communication projects to life. Today, we work across live-action video, animation and creative development, helping clients communicate clearly through thoughtful production.
What ten years in production teaches you
After working on productions of every size, one observation keeps resurfacing.
Projects rarely become difficult because people stop caring about them.
They become difficult because understanding changes as they evolve.
More people become involved. New information emerges. Priorities shift. Decisions compound.
Keeping hold of what the project originally set out to achieve requires more than simply moving from one production milestone to the next.
It requires someone to remain accountable for the work as it changes shape.
That observation continues to shape the way NINJA video house works today.
Founder-led doesn't mean doing everything myself
Founder-led isn't a promise that I personally perform every role on every project.
It's a commitment that the standards you've seen throughout this website remain my responsibility.
Sometimes that means I'm operating the camera. Sometimes I'm producing the work. Sometimes I'm collaborating with trusted specialists who are better suited to a particular challenge.
The work changes from project to project. Accountability doesn't.
The right people make better work
Over the years I've been fortunate to work alongside extraordinary directors, animators, editors, designers, producers, sound recordists and photographers.
NINJA video house is deliberately built to work the same way.
Rather than trying to be everything ourselves, we bring together the right people for the right project when they're needed. The objective isn't to build the biggest team. It's to build the right one.
That flexibility allows us to remain thoughtful about both the work and the way it's delivered.
Let's start with a conversation
No two communication projects are exactly alike.
If you're working on something important, I'd love to hear about it.
We'll take the time to understand what you're trying to achieve, answer any questions you have, and work out whether we're the right fit for the project.
