Gravity Studio

Filmmaking and Photography

For Weddings please visit my sister site Wild Hearts Photo.

I offer a wide variety of production support ranging from filming, photography, consultancy, directing, editing and assistance.

I help you make your project a that little bit more special.

Visually, my projects are here to capture what life is all about...

…loving and experiencing the exhilaration of each moment! ☺

I support pre-production and implementation of visual narrative, whether it’s a short film, promotional material for your business, or a wonderful personal keepsake.
I specialise in cinematography and photography, and can consult on lighting, camera or production advice depending on the size of your project.
Photography is my passion. When I photograph an event or person, I pour in my heart and soul into it, and work closely with my collaborators to achieve impactful results.

Kia Ora, I am a filmmaker living in Wellington, New Zealand.

Nimble documentarian and thoughtful cinephile.

I grew up in bustling Kuching (which means cat, so, I’m from cat-land), in jungly East-Malaysia.
Because of that I am passionate about indigenous stories.

My style is cinematic, ambient and full of character.

But if you’re here, how can I help?
Get in touch with me to connect about your vision. I look forward to hearing from you.☺

About Me

My resumé

Movies are my passion; as well as nature and community.

You would definitely find me at some festival dancing on the dance floor.
If you do, please, come say hi.☺

Often I’m imagining working with my friends to create something beautiful that’ll rock this world.

★★★★★ "Professional and creative, Gravity Studio delivered our brief to a high standard. We were listened to and changes we made throughout the project were not a problem. Gravity was adaptive, friendly and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Michelle and will be hiring her again for future work. Thank you Gravity!"

“A gem to work with. High quality, dreamy footage. Michelle takes the time to understand the creative vision and is patient with all the minute details. We can depend on her to ground our creative projects with ease and flair. Highly recommend. 11/10. For reference, check our creative collab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyZLUY3_uhIere”

“Michelle worked on my film 'The Old Man Next Door' as one of the Directors of Photography. Since then I have worked with her filming live music events for SoFar Sounds. Michelle is very professional and highly organized. She works really hard and communicates well, and her tenacity and attention to detail are evident in everything she does, from setting up a shot, to filming and editing. I would definitely recommend her as both a cinematographer and videographer for any project, small medium or large.”

Aidan Otene Dickens, Filmmaker.
“Michelle is a driven voice and visionary. She’s worked on various projects with Transmit over the years including as cinematographer, editor, and production assistant, and it is always a pleasure to have her on a team. While she helps make other people’s project happen, ultimately her aim is to keep developing her skills and storytelling so it has been fantastic to see the success of Fight or Flight her Mental Health online series. This was a powerful project that we wrote in support of, and the result sums up her ability and dedication to making it happen. We first met when Michelle was a top film student graduate and she has continued to focus on her career where she aims to be in top tier of our film making community.”

Sarah Hunter, Director, Transmit.
“Michelle is my all time favourite go-to lifesaver technical assistant and team wrangler. She’s a super artsy, big hearted brainiac with her own unique and caring voice and amazing accomplishments.”

Ed Davis, Filmmaker, Lucid Tripper.
"I've worked with Michelle on two film project this year. The latest project Michelle was the 1st AD on my short film. What an amazing human!!! She is hard working and extremely professional. She held the shoot days with love and care. I can't wait to work with her again in the future."

Megan Gladding, Filmmaker.
"I have worked with Michelle (Gravity Studio) for our short film. Michelle very passionate, talented and dedicated. She is a master collaborator. All her inputs enhanced our project."

Ramesh Isanaka, Director, Spellbound Creative.
"Michelle made a short video for me for Women's transformational spaces I hold. She is bubbly, full of ideas and creates a calm atmosphere to relax into when being in front of the camera is not your most comfortable place. Her edits came back fast and our communication was easeful and clear."
