The Giant Knitted Bowel from First Ladies – Colleen Hughson on Vimeo.
In 2016 the South West Healthcare Bowel Cancer Prevention Team came up with an idea to get people talking about Bowel Cancer. The idea came in the form of a giant knitted bowel complete with polyps, haemorrhoids and diverticula pouches. The 2.5 metres high and 1.5 metres wide bowel was knitted by individuals and groups in the Warrnambool, Moyne and Corangamite communities. The act of knitting a large scale bowel started much needed conversations about bowel cancer and about taking the free bowel cancer prevention screening kit test (for over 50s).
Bowel Cancer is currently the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, even though it is one of the most treatable forms of cancer (if found early.)
In 2014, I was engaged by Tru-Blu Dog Wash to create a promotional video about their most successful coin operated dog-wash ‘The K9000’. This video is to be used at overseas Pet Trade Shows and on their Tru-Blu website, so that potential customers can be introduced to the business, the product and the story behind the business.
It was important to the Tru-Blu business owners that customers knew that the business was Australian made, owned and operated and that the idea for a coin operated dog-wash was developed in Hobart, Australia. It was also important that customers knew who they were dealing with and that were dealing with a business and brand that could be trusted.

This video was shown at the Interzoo Trade Show in Germany in June 2014.
This video was edited into a series of shorter videos to develop further content for the K9000 Dog Wash website and social media channels.
Here are some more examples of types of videos that you could create for your business:

The Tarerer Festival is an Indigenous and multi-cultural celebration, an invitation to gather together in the spirit of the “meeting of the clans” in the region from which Tarerer takes its name. It is a showcase of Indigenous and non-Indigenous music, film, arts, dance and cultural activities. It remains a focus for enhancing the region’s cultural identity, history and environmental significance, promoting harmony and exchange through the celebration of culture and country.
