Heritage day "Boerie Boy"

Had some fun last week taking pictures of local Cape Town Comedian Paul Snodgrass.

Can't say I ever thought I would have imagined this shoot taking place.

Thanks Lady Gaga for the inspiration.

The idea and concept originated, and was pulled off by no other then Tarryn Page.

Underwater

Finally on the path to becoming a underwater cameraman, I just got my PADI Open Water, next up the Advanced, then a specialisation in Nitro and from there on to finishing my Dive Masters.

The seed has finally been planted. The underwater world is like swimming in a giant aquarium. From the couple of dives I have done I am quite amazed at how colorful the seabed is around the Cape Peninsula.

Can't wait to start the advanced course and hit the 30m mark.

"Umlilo" Trailer shoot

AKSP Motion Pictures just did a shoot for a marketing trailer of a feature named "Umlilo". Exhausting work but we got it done. We would like to thank Magus Visual, Take 2 and Camerastation for their assistance.

Currently the edit is being done. I am looking forward to the grading process.

Shot on a Sony EX3. Lit with the most basic lighting kit; blondes and redheads.

Green Screen "Sports Millionaire"

This week, I was lighting a green screen. Found a perfect studio out by Cinegate, called Southern Lights Studio. Shaun was more then helpful. A awesome studio with a lot of space. They have to controlled rigs from which we hung, 6 space lights and 4 2K's.

The shoot was for a pilot for a "Sport Millionaire" show based in Nigeria.

Here is a still of the space.

Spinning Documentary Research...

I finally got in touch with a local car spinning crew, and I was privlidged to see them in action swerving, drifting, spinning, and totally wrecking their tyres. I even went for a spin. The sensation is a pure adrenalin high, but very short lived.

The crew at SPINTRIX were awesome.

This is them and their fellow crews EXACT and HELLRIDE spinners in action.



The next step is to get in touch with DRIFT SQUAD... READY D' Crew.

Janie Bay Music Video, AKSP motion pictures

A lots happened since the start of the new year, first off we shot a music video for Janie Bay. It was my first time working with the Canon 5d and I love it. Its a awesome camera for low budget, and low light. Who would have ever thought 5 years ago that we would be shooting a music video on this, a stills camera.

Above is a still from the music video.

This is my first project since joining my friends at AKSP motion pictures. The website is under construction but here is the address www.aksp.co.za
