Bert Ive

After dropping out of school at the age of 13, Bert Ive worked in several jobs, among them: glass embosser, logo writer, decorator and painter.

Because of this, he converted a cinematographer traveling in northern New South Wales and southern Queensland, and in Brisbane he projected film and song transparencies for Ted Holland's Vaudeville Entertainers in 1906.

This position had been held by James Pinkerton Campbell from December 1911 to May 1913, whose appointment was not successful due to personal conflicts, quality disputes and insufficient funding of his work.

In contrast, from the moment Ive started working as this role, he was encouraged to establish the Cinema and Photographic Branch for developing the film industry.

[4] During Ive's career as a government-affiliated cinematographer, he filmed key events for the younger generation, such as Gallipoli's first AIF team, the Royal Tour of 1920 and 1927, and the Australian east and west, Canberra Construction Railway and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

In 1929, Lynn Maplestone and Ive emerged in Telling the World, which is a documentary about recording the Cinema Branch, and in 1930 produced the first sound film This is Australia.

In and Around Ballarat begins from the Blackball Observation Deck and looks westward MacArthur Street to Lake Wendouree showing today's unidentifiable electric trams and the mining dumps that served commuters from 1905 to 1971.

[6] The plane named "Southern Cross" arrived in Brisbane on June 9, 1928, and Charles Kingsford Smith and his crew members became the first to fly across the Pacific.

Then he installed new engines to cross the Pacific along with his co-pilot Charles Ulm, navigator Harry Lyon and radio operator Jim Warner.

[8] In 1926, Ive and Lacey Percival re-shot a silent documentary for the federal government's Know Your Own Country series, they improved the sound version on the original in different methods.

The film was divided into seven chapters: the great race, a leap for life, horse and man precipitated to raging torrents below, fight with the waters, the dash for liberty, the struggle on the cliffs and the black boy's revenge.

With only 37 minutes left in the film, this surviving episode reveals a subtle movie, and finally scene was Gordon sits at his hearth at the end of his life.

[9] German concentration camps: Holsworthy, Trial Bay, Berrimah, Molonglo was black and white, silent actuality footage.

[10] In the summer of 1918-1919, the film scenes of Molonglo and Holsworthy internment camps were taken by Ive, and also included earlier footage from Berrima and Trial Bay.

Angel of his Dream is an Australian film shot by Bert Ive and directed by George Marlow, concerning a clergyman who was seduced by a woman.
