I am super excited to announce Dogs Go Woof Productions is joining the Witchcliffe Eco-village project to curate the video content and share what it's all about. The ecovillage is located in the south-west of Western Australia, joining the town of Witchcliffe and is set to be world's most sustainable village. Everything from food, energy and water will be completely designed in with the ambition to become 100% self-sustainable entirely in the village - So, it's pretty darn ex

Djilba is one of the six seasons in the Noongar (Local Indigenous) calendar, which more accurately describes the changes throughout the South West region of Australia, than the European four seasons. I was introduced to the seasons through a local indigenous artist Shane Hansen (Yondee) who we shot some scenes with for a film about a year ago. His knowledge of the land and connection to it, opened my mind up to the richness of this country's ancestry and since then, I've felt

Craig pieces together the great philosopher Alan Watts's quotes in this short video, which describes out relationship with nature.

We've been having an un-seasonally fine week here in Perth with sunny days and clear skies in the middle of winter so, I thought I'd take advantage of the clear skies and try out some astro-photography. I hadn't looked at the galaxy in a long time and taking time to sit back and see it, gave me a unique perspective on how lucky we really are. One thing that is unique about astro-photography is you need to expose your shot for at least 25 seconds and a photo would take a minut

Craig shares what he learned from exploring the world's longest living culture; the indigenous Australians and shares some Noongar Culture.

They day was ending as I drove back to Meg & Patrick's place in Daylesford. I was thinking in roundabouts about what David and I had talked about. I was having doubts about whether I had enough content to explain Permaculture in a way that I believe would be truly compelling. See previous post here. Once an interview is all done and dusted, usually you just feel it and you know you've got what you need, but this time it was fuzzy and I was unsure. I got back to 'The Permie L

When we started the interview, I didn't expect it to turn out the how it did. After meeting with David (see previous post) he agreed to begin the interview that same day. I was a bit concerned as we had a lot to talk about and I didn't want him to become too fatigued with only half the day left. I knew some of my questions would be personal and thought provoking and can take time to flesh out, so I wanted to allow enough time for it to unravel naturally, but time was not in

Today was an anxiously exciting day. This was going to be the first time I was going to meet the Co-Founder of Permaculture, David Holmgren who is going to be the backbone of the film I'm making; Permaculture The Documentary. A lot was riding on this meeting. For one, the only time I had to speak with David was a very brief period of an hour over Skype that I had weeks before I flew over, and the second; I really wanted him to be the backbone of this film, sort of a narrati

On March 9th at 3am I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed and stacked my suitcases outside, ready for the adventure to shoot the first scene for Permaculture the Documentary. 3 hours later and I was flying from Perth, Western Australia to Melbourne, Victoria where would be my destination to meet David Holmgren, the co-founder of Permaculture. Arriving in Melbourne, I collected my 3 bags, jumped in a hire car and started my hour and half journey towards Daylesford. I was k

Check out the finished Clip! Read how the shoot went below Linda and Paul from Green Life Soil Company got in touch about a year ago, just after they saw The Environmental Company with Craig Campbell video and were keen to have one made about their company, but weren't financially ready to go ahead at the time. Recently Dogs Go Woof had an offer for 50% OFF a short story video to raise some funds towards Permaculture The Documentary project. The offer was for small businesses

Hey peeps. If you have been following Permaculture The Documentary you would have seen the last update video with me, (If not click here) talking about the next plan for the doco. The flights to Victoria to meet David Holmgren and have an interview are booked for April 2019 at his farm Melloidora in Hepburn Heights. I spoke to David Holmgren over Skype and had a great conversation talking about Permaculture. There are so many layers to it and really we could spend months nut

After reading and watching workshops of Dr. Elaine Ingham's work, it has opened up a can of worms when it comes to understanding soil. If what she is saying is true, it means everything that we thoughts every plant needs to grow, is actually already in every soil around the world, you just need the biology to make it available. This is very exciting, as not only does it explain how nature is able to grow forests and plants all over the globe, but it means we can grow our food

Hi, its Craig here from Dogs Go Woof Productions and it's a new year and new news for Permaculture The documentary. We've had a few changes since our last major update and thought it was about time we released another update. Going Solo Firstly, Geoff the Producer of the film has decided to leave and pursue his own ventures. Geoff played a big part in getting the film out to the world, setting in our budgets and realistic goals that helped turn the dreaming of this film into

That's right, we have a new camera, the Canon C300 Mkii, for those playing at home. It is a camera that we've been wanting to use to shoot Permaculture The Documentary. One of the biggest hurdles when it comes to producing a film is making sure everything is to standard so that it can be broadcast, projected on the big screen with no problems and this camera does exactly that! This means we now have all the equipment necessary to start shooting!! We are so excited! It's been

I know you haven’t seen a film from us in a little while, but don’t fret we have been working hard the past few months on new content and a short film, which we hope to release by the new year. The trailer for the film will be coming very soon and we are super excited for you to see it! The new film called Yondee is a story about a Contemporary Aboriginal Artist named Shane Hansen (Yondee). Yondee is a Nyoongar of the Bibbulmun nation from Dumbleyung, Western Australia. This

Our latest project over the last few months has been documenting an exciting new venture right on our door step in South West of Western Australia, the Witchcliffe Ecovillage. "This is an ecovillage that in many ways could be a world first in terms of living sustainably," Project Developer Mike Hulme. Witchcliffe is a small village east of Margret river 300kms south of Perth, WA. Mike Hulme is the brains behind this innovative project and has come up with a way that he beli
