Here’s an interesting project I’ve been working on: an exo-sleeve/brace that’s still in development. I thought I’d share a few early images because this project is so right up my alley. I worked on this alongside @nikkiii13_ , and although the project was derailed, it’s something I intend to revisit and bring to completion. I’ve been involved in some really exciting projects lately, including this one, and I can’t wait to share more of them with you soon. More to come, so watch this space! #Exoskeleton #WearableTechnology #ProductDesign #ConceptDesign #Innovation

A new still from #TheBeyond - a project I’m still deep in the process of bringing to life. Last time, I showed you the Porsche side of things. This time, I’m revealing a little more of the narrative, which is every bit as important, and ultimately what ties everything together. It’s a mammoth project, and I’ve reached that difficult stage where some things have to be left behind. The problem is… they’re all good. So I’m still wrestling with what stays and what goes. I really love this image. It doesn’t give much away, but hopefully just enough to make you curious. More to come from The Beyond , along with some other exciting projects I’ll be sharing and announcing over the coming weeks. Still building. Still refining. #TheBeyond #Porsche #FilmDirector #CinematicStorytelling Filmmaking

Some projects are commissioned. Others refuse to leave you alone. This one is called THE BEYOND. A passion project I’ve been quietly building around the Porsche GT4 RS. It started with a simple question: What if a car film felt less like a car commercial… and more like a film? These are just fragments of it. A few frames from a world that’s still being built, and honestly, still figuring itself out. For now, consider this the first glimpse. -Asua #TheBeyond #PorscheGT4RS #Porsche #AutomotiveCinematography #SpecCommercial

Found this gem from an interview I did a while back. There’s always something special about the energy on set when the Sony FX6 is locked in, the lights are just right, and it’s time to capture a real story. • #SonyFX6 #filmmakinglife #behindthescenes #interview #cinematography

Im so excited to share that “LEVEL ƎNO” won Best Film, Best Cinematography and Best Actor (Elle Holland), along with $500, Screenwise acting classes and two Canon cameras!! 😱🏆 We created a film in just 4 days, given a set of secret items, phrases and one key word as part of the Northern Beaches Film Festival filmmaking challenge, all during the Trial HSC period! Thank you to @beachescouncil and @canonanz for supporting young and upcoming local filmmakers and creating opportunities like this. It was so rewarding seeing my project on a full house cinema screen, hearing the audience react and getting to watch so many other incredibly talented films. Somehow walking away with 3 awards and all these prizes still feels a little unreal. The link to the film is now available to watch through my bio on YouTube! A huge thank you to everyone who supported us and worked on the film, I’m so, so proud of what we made 🎬 MORE TO COME!!

We now understand precisely why certain iridescent makeup products cause a ‘glitch’ effect through a camera lens. Through those findings, we now also understand how best to amplify the glitch in camera, so that these products can be used to their greatest effect as a special effects makeup for a character in a film that my partner Glenn Fraser and I are currently working on. We’ve given the camera companies some time to comment on how their cameras reacted to the glitch before we post the results. We’ll report our findings and explanation for the glitch very soon. Stay tuned for the workshop results, and more glitch tests coming up soon - from the Glitch Witch 💋 USED FOR TESTING: CAMERAS @reddigitalcinema RED Raptor X - 8K, R3D, HQ, sensor size 17:9 @arri ARRI Alexa 35 - 4K, ARRI RAW, sensor size 17:9 Achtel 9x7 - 9K, RAW, 6000 degrees K, sensor size 21mm x 30mm LENS @sigmaphotoaustralia SIGMA 135mm LIGHT @aputure.lighting Aputure STORM 400x IRIDESCENT PRODUCTS @clionadhcosmetics ‘Myrrh’ & ‘UV’ @adriananicholecosmetics ‘Unique’ @cloudicos ‘Moon Princess’ #cinematography #cameratest #glitchwitch #ameliafoxton #specialeffectsmakeup

What causes the mysterious “Glitter Glitch” in a camera? The Australian Cinematographers Society (ACS) @austcine Technical Committee recently sat down with filmmakers Amelia Foxton and Glenn Fraser to investigate this elusive phenomenon. And we have some exciting updates: We found the answer, We can reproduce it, We know how to avoid it, We analysed how different “grown-up” cameras handle the issue. A full breakdown and comprehensive report will be coming soon. Stay tuned! Documented and produced by Amelia Foxton @ameliafoxton and Glenn Fraser @azathoth101 Grown-up cameras operated by Susan Lumsdon @nlp47 and Pawel Achtel ACS @pawel.achtel.

The ✨Glitter Glitch Workshop✨ with the Australian Cinematographer’s Society’s tech committee yesterday was a huge success. Led by the astonishing @pawel.achtel, we explored the glitch caused in camera by iridescent makeup, and found some surprising discoveries. Which we will share in full, very soon.

Behold the ‘Glitter Glitch’, brought to you by the Glitter Witch ✨ Follow me, and I’ll take you on a strange and colour-shifting journey, whereupon the age old question shall be answered - How do you compel a group of world-class cinematographers to gather - over glitter? ✨ Follow the Blue Fairy 🧚‍♂️ For those who don’t know, I’ve dabbled in makeup artistry - mostly SFX for film, and avant-garde for editorial photography. In a recent re-awakening of my makeup enthusiasm, I stumbled upon iridescent multichrome eyeshadows with an ultraviolet shift. And I kept seeing these fabulous ‘glitching’ effects in the videos about them. Why do cameras ‘glitch’ over glitter? This test on my iPhone 16 Pro Max shows that it occurs in a range of conditions. Why? As a filmmaker, a makeup enthusiast and an AuDHD creative, this glitch has activated an epic hyper fixation journey - that I’ll show-and-tell in the coming weeks. What has resulted is an Australian Cinematographer’s Society tech committee testing workshop, coming up in late August, arranged by my friend @pawel.achtel - where the glitter glitch shall be explored with film cameras such as Arri LF, S35, Venice 2 and Red, and even Pawel’s incredible Achtel 9x7 camera, one of the most exclusive and uniquely engineered cameras ever made. So far, we have heard a range of theories about the glitch, but no consensus. Do you have a theory? Stay tuned. There will be updates! Products I purchased for testing: (with my money - no affiliation/sponsorship): Clionadh’s ‘Myrrh’, ‘UV’, ‘LS 2’, ‘Lux’ & ‘Gilding’ Cloudicos’ ‘Moon Princess’, ‘Arcane’, ‘Flux’ & ‘Lunar’ Adriana Nichole’s ‘Unique’ Dieverune’s ‘Drop’, ‘Necromancy’, ‘Transmutation’, ‘All Hallows Eve’, ‘Luminous Lunar’, ‘Wild Wisteria’ & ‘Stray Cat’ Ourbella’s ‘Aphrodite’, ‘Lucid Dream’, ‘Solar Rush’ & ‘Cosmic Siren’ Sheen Effect’s ‘Night Elf’, ‘Pure Desire’ & ‘Candy Wrappers’ Blend Bunny’s ‘Ellis Atlantis’ palette An epic iridescent comparison swatch party glitch-off will follow soon! Stay tuned! #glitterglitch #glitterwitch #ameliafoxton #iridescenteyeshadow
