From recent flagship launches in Miami & Paris, to the “Art of the Kitchen” campaign, Milan Design Week, and the various social cutdowns - it’s an eclectic collection.
Films delivered in 16:9, 9:16, 4:5 aspect ratios. The brief often calls for both video & still photography, all achieved with minimal crew.

Something old, something new. This showreel features a mix of brands, broadcasters & people - Bentley, Porsche, Gaggenau, ABB Robotics, Volvo Construction Equipment, BBC, Discovery & The Food Network.
Common themes include automotive, food & home, technology, sustainability, and new industry.
Unfortunately there’s a lot that can’t be squeezed into 2+ minutes! Not a square to spare for HBO, Netflix, Volvo Trucks, Microsoft, Santander Bank, IKEA, TED, National Geographic, ABC’s “Foreign Correspondent” etc etc. So, I’ll need to create more reels in time.
Reach out if there’s a particular genre or style you wish to discuss.
Renewables is huge in Scandinavia & the Nordics :) - where wind & forests thrive.
Forestry is a key industry, particularly in Sweden & Finland. Here, sustainability, innovation, and the integration of technology are ever-present themes. Fibre-based materials, packaging solutions, processing.
Travelling Matt serves leaders such as Stora Enso, filming & producing brand films right throughout the region.
Other great companies served include; Holmen, Södra, the LRF (Swedish Farmer's Federation), and Sveaskog. All major players in innovative forestry, construction, paper & packaging, and forest maintenance.

Given the extraordinary circumstances, Matt served as a one-man band with a local fixer in parts, and operating beyond the bounds of a cameraman with journalistic & producing roles.

Since “Chocolate”, the team have produced projects for IKEA Japan, NHK Japan, and Afternoon Tea.

Thanks.
In 2016, I shot into Singapore to DP B-unit on the new Porsche Panamera campaign.

ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus fronted CBeebies Bedtime Stories filmed in the ABBA Museum.
Late 2019, an evening shoot at the ABBA Museum, Stockholm, the location being within the museum’s exhibit. Björn came, bedazzled us, and read a few bedtime stories. - and took photos with us. Cool shoot.
CBeebies “Bedtime Stories” shared resources with BBC’s “Bring The Noise”.

Two campaigns filmed for the Swedish Farmer’s Federation, or Lantbrukarnas Riksförbund.
The first campaign was a rarity, filmed in the deep dark winter - an unusual time for rural campaigns. On the back of its success, a national TVC campaign was launched in the summer.
The premise, to promote the resources of the land and its untapped potential.
DP Matthew Gormly joined Director Urban Ermling, and the team at Brid Agency to execute the concept. In addition to the 20sec TVC, a longer form 90sec corporate video would be cut, featuring the people, the technology, and the land.
The winter campaign saw the crew traverse 7,000km over several weeks. The summer campaign was shot in three days. Features ;land & drone photography.
With gun control legislation being considered by US law-makers, comedian John OLIVER ventured to Australia to file a series of reports for Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”. Initially scheduled to be a single 3-min piece, the story soon filled 3 x 3-min segments, and collected an Emmy award along the way.
A fabulous shoot, highlighted by John OLIVER’s quick-wit & take on all things Australian.
Shot over 10-days, with 2 x XDcam ENG cameramen Matthew GORMLY & Peter BEEH, sound recordist, assistant, and production manager. Crew assembled by Sam DOWNS of RMK Crew. Emmy award for best-editing on segment 3/3 “Aftermath”.
And what did the production have to say?
"Yes, I’d say the shoot went extremely well, beyond our expectations! Brennan and John both said “That was THE BEST crew they have ever worked with!!!". They both really enjoyed working with them on every level ...personally and professionally!"

Read the testimonial from PM Shelley Robertson here!
Getting a stoic truckie to speak is hard at the best of times, but add a camera and the rigours of TV, and you have a task at hand. We piggy-backed onto real jobs with real road regulations, and real timelines in play. And the action genuinely unfolds when you least expect it.
Crafting stories on the run, seizing the jeopardy moments as they arise, or investing in long-term story threads are constantly top of mind. Capturing the epic landscape & journey photographically is a rapid undertaking - all whilst managing the safety & well-being of the crew.
The greatest challenge is in establishing & maintaining an instant rapport with the truckie - for days or even weeks on end. Enduring 14-hour days behind the wheel, oft in blistering heat, whilst rattling around a baking hot cab. And when things are going pear-shaped for the talent, asking the probing questions is not for the faint of heart! And there were hairy moments on the road.
Core to the show’s success is the crew & chase vehicle. You’re on the road with a cameraman, a driver, and a Landcruiser who are constantly leap-frogging up the road, capturing the story elements as called. The days get long and punishing. From immense heat & dry, to swag camping roadside overnight. During my tenure, I was paired with ace cameramen/drone operators Riaan Laubscher & Sieh Mchawala, and top chase drivers Trev Morris & Steve Ochtman.
Behind the success is the amazing production office, run by PM Shelley Robertson, who with PC Sophia Vertannes burnt the midnight oil to get us a room at day’s end (and so much more). Expert guidance by Series Producer Alan Hall, and Story Producer David Karsten - to name a few. Produced by Prospero Productions.
A most satisfying & memorable chapter in my career.
Hot on the heels of the 2018 Gold at the Pearl Awards, Preem launched into the 2019 campaign as lead sponsor of Sweden’s iconic Vasaloppet ski race. Again, leading the campaign was Swedish living legend & crowd favourite, former world champion & Olympic gold medal winning skier, Gunde SVAN.
Instead of competing in the Vasaloppet main event, this year’s challenge would be the Staffetvasan relay race. With a fresh team of four recruits, Melinda, Anette, Micke, and Jörgen, Gunde would make up the fifth team member for the five stages of the relay race. To ensure they performed at their very best, Gunde would pit the 2019 team against last year’s team of Ingrid, Roberth, and Johan + 2 pals. But first, there was plenty of preparation to be done on his team of relatively inexperienced skiers.
The four-part series was shot over three days, with episodes 1-3 filmed on consecutive days. Blessed with glorious sunshine for the most part, the production crew and equipment still faced temperatures of -15C in the beautiful Dalarna countryside. Episode 4 was filmed at the Staffetvasan race, as the teams vied for the honours.
Episodes 1-3 was filmed with a two-camera main unit originating on Sony PMW-F5’s in HD with Fujinon optics. A third unit filmed gimbal, cable-cam, and drone elements. A fourth unit filmed the spy elements with the 2018 challengers on Panasonic GH5. Additional crew included producer, line producer, sound recordist, ski-doo pilot, stills photographer, and a team of interns.
Episode 4, race day, was filmed with a streamlined crew of four. Line producer Christoffer CARRINGER lead cameramen Matthew GORMLY on Sony F5, with Joshua AYLETT on Sony FS7, and Tim KARLBERG on the GH5 third camera unit. The three teams were spread along the course, and leap-frogged from start to finish via the interchange points. Eight GoPro 7’s captured the body-cam angles through chest, head, and pole mounts.
