You've got listings to move, charters to fill and a business that deserves to look like the calibre of what it sells. We make the photography, video and social content that gets people to act. For the marine industry, and almost nothing else.
Every marine business ends up at the same decision. Do it yourself, hand it to whichever video company is available, or bring in people who work in your industry and nowhere else. They don't cost the same, and we don't mean money.
Brokers, charter operators, marinas, trades and owners. Different problems, one requirement. Content that makes someone pick up the phone.
Your listing is sitting alongside fifty others on the same platform. We make the one buyers open first, and the one that still holds up when a serious buyer flies in to inspect.
Nobody books a charter off a spec sheet. They book because they can already picture themselves on deck. That's the whole job, and it's why charter work is the most involved thing we make.
Your work is genuinely good to watch, and most of your competitors never show it. Turning up consistently, month after month, is the cheapest advantage available in this industry, and the one almost nobody takes.
Smaller and faster than a full campaign. Often the first thing someone books with us, and often the reason they come back with something bigger.
Select work outside marine, by arrangement.
There's a difference between a shot that looks good in a showreel and a shot that actually does something for you. We've shot enough boats to know which is which. Here's some of the recent work.
A listing goes cold quickly and a charter season doesn't wait for anyone. Most of our work is back with you in days. You'll spend a lot less time chasing us for files than you're probably used to spending chasing someone.
No first meeting spent explaining what a flybridge is, why the boat can't leave the berth until Thursday, or why the light matters at 4pm. We shoot marine and almost nothing else, so we arrive already knowing.
You deal with James and Franky directly, from the first conversation to the final file. Most of our clients end up mates, and most of them stop looking anywhere else. We'd rather earn that than sell it.
“Fielding Marine has used Frames Media exclusively since the business was established, and they continue to be our go-to for all photography and videography.”
“Their consistency, attention to detail, and ability to capture each vessel in the best possible light is second to none. They understand exactly what is required in the marine industry and consistently deliver content that not only looks exceptional but also performs.”
“From quick turnarounds to full-scale shoots, the process is always seamless and professional!”
A short message or a phone call. If we haven't worked together, we'll have a proper conversation first. Often what you need is simpler than you'd assumed.
Exactly what you're getting, when you're getting it, and what it costs. Nothing moves until you're happy with it.
Access, timing, weather, drone, crew. All ours to worry about. Most listing shoots need a couple of hours of your vessel and almost none of you.
Edited, graded and cut for wherever you're putting it: your website, the listing platforms, socials. Nothing reaches you until we're happy with it ourselves.
James and Franky met at film school in 2020 and started Frames Media out of a spare bedroom, taking on whatever came through the door. What kept us in marine was the industry itself. The boats, the people who build and run them, and the fact that no two days on the water look the same.
Three years on we work from a studio in Currumbin Waters and this is where we've made our name. We still get up early for a shoot because we want to, not because it's booked. That's probably the most useful thing we can tell you about how your project will be treated.
Founder. The one you'll speak to first. Direction, planning and client work, and behind a camera half the week.
Founder. Post production and kit: the edit, the colour and the delivery. The reason it looks the way it looks.
Less than you'd think, from your side. We plan the day around the light and the tide, arrive with everything we need, and work through the vessel systematically: exterior, interior, detail, then aerials. A typical listing shoot needs a couple of hours of the boat's time and almost none of yours.
If you want to be there, you're welcome. Most of our clients end up staying for the whole thing, which we take as a good sign.
Days, in most cases. A listing shoot comes back inside a week, often faster for smaller vessels. A full charter campaign takes longer, because there's simply more to shoot and grade.
Speed is the thing our clients mention most, and it's never an excuse for cutting corners. If you've got a hard deadline, whether that's a boat show, a launch or a listing that has to go live, tell us at the start and we'll build the schedule around it.
Yes to all three. Aerials are standard on almost everything we shoot, and we'll get the vessel underway wherever access and conditions allow. A boat sitting at the dock never looks like a boat that's doing what it was built for.
We'll tell you honestly at the planning stage what's achievable on the day. Weather and marina access decide a lot of it, and we'd rather set the expectation early than promise you a shot we can't get.
Constantly. We're based in Currumbin Waters and shoot across South East Queensland most weeks, but we work right across Australia: Sydney, the Whitsundays, wherever the vessel happens to be.
If you're outside our usual run, tell us where and we'll sort the logistics. It's rarely the obstacle people expect it to be.
Then you might not need us. But it's worth asking two questions: how long are you waiting for files, and does the work look like anyone could have shot it?
If either answer bothers you, book us for one job and compare. That's how most of our longest standing clients started. A single shoot, then everything after it.
Three short steps, about ninety seconds. The more you tell us here, the more useful our first reply will be. Most enquiries come back with available dates already attached.
