What is Side Trip?
​
Side Trip was so named for the 'alternate journey' that we often take when out on an adventure. Something a little different, something worthwhile..​
It is the name given to a lean, agile and scalable video production business, based out of Melbourne, under which Brett Williams works either solo or with a trusted network of other reliable and creative freelancers to deliver the ideal outcome and value for any video project.
​
Regularly working as a freelance Director of Photography / Videographer, Brett has a serious passion for shooting, while he also loves the process of crafting and completing a story through video editing.

Bio
​
Brett completed a degree in Media Arts at Deakin University in the early 2000’s, following up by working at well-known camera rental house Lemac Film and Digital where he honed his technical knowledge and gained invaluable industry experience over several years.
​
Following two years of living in New Zealand where he immersed himself in the South Island’s rock climbing scene until eventually returning to Australia in 2010- Brett established Side Trip in 2011 while his video work focussed on rock climbing content at the time.
​
Not too long after, this led to more shooting opportunities which eventually enabled Brett to become a fully freelance DoP which he remains to this day, all the while striving to hit that perfect balance between time in production and time on rock!
