EMG / Gravity Media has detailed EMG / Gravity Media Australia’s broadcast technology and television production undertakings to deliver the upcoming Beyond Productions’ feature documentary Cold Chisel: The Big Five-0 for the Seven Network, as it has claimed in a statement.

EMG / Gravity Media Australia was selected by production company, Beyond Productions, to deliver the broadcast technology and production undertaking for Cold Chisel’s recent live performance at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, deploying one of its outside broadcast trucks, 12 cameras, and a crew of 48 members.

The concert Cold Chisel: The Big Five-0 is celebrating its five decades of anthems that have been burned into Aussie culture – including Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Choirgirl and When The War Is Over. It is a Beyond Productions feature documentary produced in association with the Seven Network. Writer/producer Paul Clarke is a filmmaker with previous award-winning and celebrated work including the 2024 TV Week Logie documentary John Farnham: Finding The Voice, Midnight Oil: The Hardest Line and Blood and Thunder.

Directed by Andrew Lord (Splendour in the Grass), the film is also produced by Frank Chidiac (Live it Up: The Mental as Anything Story, Great Australian Concerts) and Susanne Morrison (Live it Up: The Mental as Anything Story, Great Australian Concerts), line produced by Fiona Hewish, with Mikael Borglund and Robert Hambling as executive producers.

Clarke explains: “We approached this production in a non-conventional way, using film cameras around the stage, OB long lenses, IMAG cameras, lots of steadicam shots in the audience, fly cams and drones and the latest minicams around the band”.

“From the start to the end, Gravity kept solving all the problems. Their team was incredible and we have a Cold Chisel moment in a bottle that will last for decades”.

According to Marcus Doherty, Account Executive, Media Services and Facilities at EMG / Gravity Media Australia: “All of us at EMG / Gravity Media thank Beyond Productions for selecting us to deliver the broadcast outcome for Cold Chisel’s performance at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl as part of their Big Five-0 Tour and the delivery of an outstanding event and production for the Seven Network”.
