Gravity Studio

Creative Producer, Filmmaking and Photography

I offer a wide variety of expertise ranging from creative conceptualisation and consultancy, filming, photography, media editing and creative communications for organisations or entrepreneurs that want to make a positive impact.

I can support the conceptualising and implementing of your creative project, whether it’s a promotional material for your business, a marketing initiative, a short film or a more personal keepsake.
If you’re an organisation I’ll help you discover your project’s what, why and how, and craft something that improves your engagement, visibility, trust, fundraising and reputation.
I specialise in cinematography, photography and story-telling in the cutting room.
I can also consult on lighting, camera or production advice depending on the size of your project.
Photography is the secret love. When I photograph an event or person, I pour in my heart and soul into it, and work closely with my collaborators to achieve beautiful results.

Kia Ora, I am a creative based in Wellington, New Zealand specialising in strategic storytelling, video production and just making beautiful stuff.

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

Over the last ten years I’ve worked with small businesses, universities, community organisations and social enterprises to help communicate their stories, build trust and connect with their audiences. My goal with each project is always to create work that is thoughtful, authentic and memorable.

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.☺

My resumé

★★★★★ "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."
