The SAFC in conjunction with other organisations created additional educational resources to build on the potential the film had for being part of the primary school curriculum.Īs well as the more standard film posters and lobby cards, additional educational materials were produced to coincide with the film’s release:Ī special edition of the book featuring stills from the film by Rigby Limited.Ī twenty-minute documentary called The Crew, filmed on the set of Storm Boy, and explained the different roles of the principal crew members was produced by The Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) in conjunction with SAFC. This clip is an important record of the original approach the SAFC took with marketing the film directly to schools. Storm Boy producer Matt Carroll talks about how the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) worked with the distributors and education departments around Australia to turn Storm Boy into a massive box office success in this edited extract from an oral history interview in 1981. It's also historically important because we see people who have become famous in their field, for example, clapper loader Erika Addis who went on to become a prominent cinematographer. Today its value is even greater because it captures behind the scenes footage of what has become an iconic Australian film. The educational intention of the film is to give a succinct look at each crew specialisation and it works well. It's great to see the skilled and fearless Grant Page doing his thing, advising them on stunts and flying in hang gliders. This is rare footage of Greg Rowe working with his dialogue coach on the seminal Australian film. First assistant director Ian Goddard explains his role as a 'right-hand man' to the director.
Stunt advisor Grant Page performs the stunt work for the pelican POV flying sequences and we see behind the scenes of the shipwreck scene. In this excerpt from the documentary, The Crew filmed on the set of Storm Boy, we see dialogue coach Michael Caulfield working with Greg Rowe on his lines.
