I recently worked on a series of video banners for the Ettalong Diggers Club 2025 website rebuild. The project included five unique banner videos, each designed to feature across different pages of the site. Filming covered a range of visuals, including drone footage capturing the exterior of this stunning Central Coast location, as well as interior shots showcasing the club’s entertainment, bars, dining, live music and more. Each video was carefully edited and packaged to fit seamlessly within the club’s branded web sliders. You can explore the final results across the following pages: Banner video 1: Get along to Ettalong ettalongdiggers.com Banner video 2: Delicious breakfast by the beach ettalongdiggers.com/cafe Banner video 3: Take your pick of our bars ettalongdiggers.com/bars Banner video 4: Local flavours on tap ettalongdiggers.com/locals-on-tap Banner video 5: There's always something on! ettalongdiggers.com/whats-on Location: Ettalong, Central Coast NSW Filmed by: Ben Buchanan Equipment: Panasonic GH5 Company: Ettalong Diggers Industry: Clubs & Recreation I recently had the opportunity to film a piece-to-camera at the Nepean TAFE NSW campus and edit a video for the Diploma of Nursing enrolment series.

I re-packaged some interviews that I had sitting on my hard drive for use in Mingara One's recent campaign: Mates Rates. This highlights some small snippet clips of real life members in an PTC style interview with close family & friends. These clips help to highlight the strong emotional bond of working out with a strong support network. These reels got posted to instagram/tik tok and help to support the full campaign as a whole.
