Isaac Walgos Profile
What's your favourite film you have seen this year? I recently watch a beautiful film called Cafe De Flore directed by Jean-Marc Vallée and cinematography by Pierre Cottereau. Its a parallel story about, love between a man & women, mum & her son connected by different times. Good music, love & a twist at the end. When did you become interested in our industry? Well I was a young boy at Rose Park Primary School, around 10 years of age & thought it would be fun to try the photo club. Our first project was to make a pin hole camera out of cardboard. We use photo paper as film stock, developed it in developer & there was an image. I still to this day am amazed how you could capture an image in this way.
What did you do to get a start in the industry? I meet a photographer Don Meller & found myself sweeping his studio, painting his studios in the school holidays, what ever I could do. When I was 15 years old he asked if I could help out on a documentary series called Gone Fishing with Gus Mercurio. It was my first paid job, I was the runner for the crew, the show started filming on 16mm film and then moved to Betacam. What has been your most interesting project? Traveling overseas is very rewarding; the project that comes to mind was the Fest Napuan Music festival in Vanuatu. This was a project for the Australia Network & ABC international the producer was Tania Nugent. The music from this part of the world is very moving over 12,000 people from all around the region travel into Port Vila. This is a free festival with no fences just a string as the barrier to the stage. Its a five day event with a string band on the first night, best music of the Pacific on the second night to the 5th night full moon party with King Brown as the final performance of the festival.

Have you had any mentors that have help you in any way? Starting at such a young age I have had a few, the really cool thing about learning on the job is you dont know until later in life just how important the knowledge & wisdom these people share. Lighting setups came from stills photographer Minton Wordley, I spent 2 years with him as a photography assistant. Camera operating Jeff Clayfield from Channel 9 which I spent 6 years as an operator working on location & in the studio and for organizing myself cinematographer Ron Bollman was most helpful. All these people gave something that I use in my daily process. Your expertise in the industry is well known, is that where you think your future lies? I spent my year broken into 4 parts, TV shows, corporate films & documentary, commercial & jimmy jibs remote head operation. The future will be as exciting as the past; Ive worked with some great people and I look forward to the next part of the journey.
