SCIENCE COMMUNICATION THROUGH FILM
Helping important work
reach a wider audience.
We work with marine and ecological researchers, environmental consultants, conservation organisations, NGOs, educational programmes and government agencies across Australia.
From research and conservation to environmental education, every film begins with understanding the work, why it matters and the story that needs to be told.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
I first engaged Tom Tyczenko in the last quarter of 2024 to produce a video that showcased my company, Hallprint and its two major fish tag products (plastic tipped dart tags and T-Bar tags), drawing from planned local footage of tagging in the field that was to be largely demonstrated and narrated by myself.
Tom worked closely and collaboratively with me throughout to produce a series of short and longer videos that I am especially proud of. Nothing was too difficult, and he ended up doing a first-class job in my view (judge for yourself).
Tom’s communications style is one of friendly and knowledgeable collaboration and he is a joy to work with in terms of planning a script, taking footage in the field and editing the final product.
I thoroughly recommend Tom to any organisation or business wanting to better market their products, services or information to a key audience in a way that doesn’t blow the budget and inspires members of that audience to act positively now rather than later.
