PHS has established its self as one of Australia’s leading aerial filming companies having vast experience in all types of filming requirements from large feature film and commercial shoots to the small low budget productions. PHS has experience in all types of camera systems including the Tyler and Continental side and nose mounts as well as the Cineflex, Gyron Gyro systems, and the Libra and Stab C mounts.
All pilots conducting film work for PHS have been trained by Brett Newman in the techniques of aerial filming. Some of the jobs we are most proud of are 3 of the Qantas “I still call Australia Home” series commercials that were shot throughout Australia, 2 x Australian Tourism series of commercials that were also shot throughout Australia from Tasmania to Lizard Island in Far Nth Queensland and throughout the N.T. Many of the shots from these commercials are still used today. Another memorable shoot was Jackie Chan First Strike, which required PHS building a mock up Jet Ranger that was then blown up by a Hughes 500 that had rockets and machine guns bolted to the sides.
PHS is one of the few companies and Brett Newman one of the few pilots to be given permission to fly under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This was done for the NBC promotion footage for the Sydney Olympics, which was also filmed throughout Australia .
