A three-day shoot in a remote Norwegian limestone mine capturing the initial runs of Volvo Trucks’ first commercial autonomous transport undertaking.
This was no camera call, but shot around the actual trials and challenges faced by the Volvo Trucks technicians. Access was extremely limited, as the techs ironed out the final kinks in the technology - so every moment counted.
Captured on the Sony F5 in 4K by DP Matthew GORMLY, who also recorded interview and voice-over audio on location. Drone by Aircam.se.
A one week assignment travelling from Gothenburg, Sweden to Santa Catarina, Brazil to feature truck driver Aldinan Cézar Rodrigues and the infamous Serra Do Rio (Road 020).
Transporting a hazardous load of aluminium sulphate, Aldinan hits an impasse with dangerous cracks in the mountainous road 020 blocking his way. Road 020 is a 12km strip of sharply hair-pinned reinforced concrete rising up to 1460m above sea level. Treacherous at the best of times, recent rains have damaged the road and Aldinan is forced to find a detour. As he detours, he tells us of his passion for trucking.
A three-day shoot, the assignment involved a tremendous amount of travel through unpaved countryside, as well as the lengthy travel time in and out of the region.
Crew included Matthew GORMLY on camera & sound, with a Sao Paolo-based drone crew, and Swedish stills photographer Nicke JOHANSSON sharing the space. Expertly Directed by Axel LINDQVIST with journalist Sujay DUTT’s Portuguese language skills, and excellent local support from Brazil Fixer’s Tomaz CAVALIERI.
Originated on Sony PMW-F5 kit with Sony A7iii & GoPro 6, and Sennheiser AVX wireless audio.
In late 2019, Matthew GORMLY served director/producer Anders EKLUND on a documentary series for the Spartan race movement via Rakuten.
As a Director & Cameraman, Matt shot segments and backstories for several of the participating athletes.
First up, EKLUND & GORMLY travelled to England to film the motivational Pete COHEN in the village of Lindfield. From here the production team split, with GORMLY heading on to Marseilles, France for a day with a French athlete, and then Munich & Ruhpolding, Germany to profile athlete Sophia THUSSBAS.
Originated on the Sony PMW-F5 camera, with additional footage gathered on DJI Osmo, and DJI Phantom drone in 4K. Sound capture by Matthew GORMLY. Edited by House of Eklund in Malmö, Sweden.
“Everyday Spartans” is available on YouTube’s “Rakuten Arena” channel.
One of a series of pre-movie etiquette reminders for Bondi's VMA Open Air Cinema patrons. Core to most of the spots was phone etiquette - no surprises there.
Shot on the Canon C300 w/ Wally Dolly. Small crew, with gaffer, Producer Andrew LORD, and directed by Tony WHITTAKER for Golden Duck Productions.
Winner: Gold award, 2016 Swedish Content Awards in the category of “Travel / Entertainment / Leisure”
With an award-winning standard set by Garpen’s Europa (GE) first series, Matt joined the OTW production on a 10-day tour of Scotland, Czech and Denmark, covering draws in the Champions Hockey League (CHL).
A NordicBet Sverige piece of branded-content, GE is hosted by legendary Swedish and ex-NHL player, Johan Garpenlöv & journalist Jacob Nyström. The pair visited clashes featuring visiting Swedish teams in Glasgow, Pardubice and Vojens. From dissecting the upcoming game, to examining an aspect of the home club’s success, whilst wagering a cheeky bet in the process.
For a pair of presenters that were simply cast together, the chemistry is outstanding, making for a most excellent tour both on and off-screen. From a chance encounter in a Danish cafe, leading to a most excellent afternoon with the keys to a castle, and many more spontaneous adventures.
Originated on the Canon C300, supported by GoPro & DSLR – including the innovative puck-cam. Crewed with a 2-person camera/sound crew, and masterfully orchestrated by producer Sanna Lennartsson of OTW.
As part of celebrations for SAS's 70th birthday, a commemorative livery was launched on a Boeing 737-800 LNG-RGI. DP Matthew GORMLY was enlisted to capture the launch for a 30-sec film destined for web, in-terminal, and inflight applications.
Tucked away in the SAS service facility at Stockholm Arlanda airport, 30kg's of wrapping was applied to the fuselage, whilst the video crew awaited word of the job's completion. With the green-light, the crew moved in at dusk, and prepared for the confetti spectacular.
The hero aircraft, and those sharing the hangar, had sensitive areas plastic-wrapped, and paper confetti was the only option with jet engines involved. With a strict budget, and thus confetti limited to 25kg, the charges were judiciously selected, climaxing in a confetti 'white-out' over the entirety of the aircraft, twice.
Shooting deep into the night, the production wrapped at 2am, before the massive clean-up began. Filming was primarily originated on the Sony FS7 at 180fps in HD 1080p. Secondary options included the Canon C300, Canon 5D, and GoPro 4 Black (120fps).
