Two days at the Pinnacles, locked by 6 April
What you need to approve before we travel: the film, the locations, the crew, and what happens if the wind turns.
Shoot
20 and 21 April 2027
Weather hold
22 April 2027

Daniel Lim, Quarrie Lim Pictures, Fremantle
Three approvals by Tuesday 6 April
The shot list, the cast and the three locations. Sign them off below and crew and kit confirm on Wednesday 7 April.
Everything else in this pack is for reference. None of it reopens the treatment you approved on 12 March.
If approvals slip, there are two options. We hold the crew on pencil for one more week at A$3,480, or we move to the May window, when the light comes later and the wind is less reliable. We recommend signing on time, and we would take the pencil fee over the move.
Frame 01, first light
Wide on a 200mm from the ridge. The walker is a dark stroke among the spires, 400 metres out. The sun breaks at about 06:55 and gives us eleven minutes.
Frame 02, the glare
Noon on the Lancelin dunes. White sand burns out the highlights on purpose, and we hold the shot two seconds longer than is comfortable.
Frame 03, lens on
Close on her hands lifting the frames into shot. Same dune, same exposure, now with colour and contrast back. This is the only product moment in the film.
Frame 04, the water
Thirsty Point at dusk, shot through the lens at sea level. The 9:16 cut ends here, and so does the stills list.
Three locations, in shooting order
Recced on 17 and 18 March by Tess, Marek and Daniel. Base is Cervantes, two hours north of Perth: three nights, one hotel, one 4WD convoy.
Pinnacles Desert, Nambung National Park
Dawn on both days. Crew call 04:40 at the park gate. Commercial filming licence lodged with the state parks service, with conditions on vehicle tracks and group size. Drone only in the two zones marked on the map.
Lancelin dunes
Noon on Day 1, seventy minutes south of base, 4WD only. There is no shade, so a 6 by 6 metre black frame goes up first. Above 30 degrees, cast work twenty minutes on, twenty off.
Thirsty Point, Cervantes
Dusk on Day 2, ten minutes from base. Public access, no closure needed. We hold the low rock shelf for the 9:16 frames, and we want a falling tide, which 21 April gives us.
Who you will deal with
Daniel is your one call for dates, access and budget. The others are here so you know the names on the call sheet.
Daniel Lim, producer
Your one call for dates, access and money. He answers from 07:00 every day until wrap.
Tess Quarrie, director
Owns the frame and the performance. Creative notes on the day go through Daniel, so she hears them once.
Marek Olsen, DoP
Shoots large-format 6K on anamorphic glass, with a filter pass for every product shot so glare stays honest.
Hana Tupou, first AD
Runs the clock. Her call sheet lands at 18:00 the night before. If it differs from this pack, hers is right.
Saffron Yeo, stylist
Five looks, locked at the fitting on 14 April. She carries your nine pairs and three spares.
Kieran Bird, drone
Licensed remote pilot, with the park's flight zones already filed. Over 25 knots he lands and we shoot from the ground.
From recce to delivery
Eleven weeks, with the two review rounds you agreed in the contract. Dates after 21 April assume we do not use the weather hold.

From sign-off to first light
Five dates that matter to you. Everything between them is ours to run.
Thursday 1 April, production meeting
Ninety minutes at our Fremantle studio or on video, you choose. We walk the shot list frame by frame and settle every open question.
Tuesday 6 April, your sign-off
Shot list, cast and locations, approved in this document. Crew and kit confirm the next morning and the pencil comes off.
Wednesday 14 April, fitting
Cast, looks and all nine pairs on camera in Fremantle. You are welcome in the room. Any pair with a scratch goes back that day.
Monday 19 April, travel
Convoy leaves Fremantle at 10:30. Safety walk and pre-light at Nambung at 16:30, an hour and a half before sunset.
Tuesday 20 April, crew call 04:40
Park gate, head torches on. Daniel sends you one frame at each wrap, and rushes reach your review link by 08:00 the next day.
If the plan changes
Written down now, so nobody has to work it out at 04:40 in a car park.
If the weather turns
Thursday 22 April is held for wind over 25 knots, rain, or smoke from a prescribed burn. Daniel makes the call by 20:00 the night before. Using the day costs A$9,360 in crew and kit, plus accommodation at cost, and it is your cost as set out in the agreement. Unused, it costs nothing if released by 18:00 on the 21st.
If the park licence is late
The licence was lodged on 9 March and the decision is due by 31 March. Tell us now if your legal team needs to see it. If it has not landed by 9 April, we move the dawn frames to private dune country near Lancelin. The film survives. The spires do not, so we would ask you to look at that version again before we shoot it.
Hours, heat and overtime
Shoot days are ten working hours, overtime from hour eleven at the rates in your agreement. Day 2 is a split day, dawn and dusk, with the crew stood down from 10:00 to 15:30. Cast rest in shade in the heat of the day and there is a medic on set. Nobody is asked to work through a rest break to catch light, including us.
What is being delivered
One 90-second hero film, three 30-second cut-downs, six 15-second 9:16 cuts, 1:1 versions of the cut-downs, and 40 retouched stills. Two review rounds are included. A third is A$2,180, and we will tell you before you are in one.
Usage, music and raw files
Licensed for worldwide digital for 24 months from first publication. Out-of-home and broadcast are a separate quote. The music track and the cast buyouts are approved by you and invoiced at cost. Rushes are not delivered. We hold them for 12 months and can supply them for a fee.
Sign off by Tuesday 6 April
This locks the plan. It does not change the fee, the usage licence or the delivery list in your contract.

For approval by
Ayla Rostami Head of Brand, Perihel Eyewear
If you would rather walk through it first, the production meeting on Thursday 1 April is the place.

By confirming, you approve the shot list, the cast, the three locations and the shoot dates of 20 and 21 April 2027, with 22 April held for weather. Crew and kit confirm on 7 April. Changes after that may carry a cost, which Daniel quotes before anything moves.
