Adidas 'Run Thru Time' 80's video

Ogilvy Cape Town recently commissioned me to Direct a video to launch their new range 'Run Thru Time'. The video was produced amazingly by Ola Films and would never have been reality withour their help. I also finally got to work with Adriaan Louw (DOP) and Deon van Zyl from We Are Awesome Film.

There are still 2 videos to come for the 80's and 90's. Check em out in the weeks to follow.

Okmalumkoolkat

So I know I have been super quiet on the blog. You know how december holiday time can consume all your time. But its the new year and Im feeling super inspired and here is my first update. Over the december period I have been DOP'ing my first feature length Documentary with Adrian Loveland and while down here I got to meet some amazing dudes.

One of my favorite experiences recently was getting to meet LV from Hyperdub records in London, he has been working with some amazing musicians down here and recording new songs with them. I shot a music vide with Okmalumkoolkat (Dirty Paraffin) and LV for a song aptly named Spitting Cobra following in light with their last big success Boomslang in 2010.

The video will be out soon, but for now I thought I would put up a new portrait of Smiso (Okmalumkoolkat) shot on location during the music video shoot.

Enjoy and Happy New Year !

James Bhemgee

A while back I was commissioned by Total Exposure Johannesburg to do a shoot with the opera sensation James Bhemgee in Mitchells Plain close to Cape Town. James's story touched the heart of the nation a couple of years ago when he won SA's got talent a reality television show on SABC.

James used to be a street sweeper on the streets of Cape Town CBD until a lady heard him singing while he was doing his job one morning, she then sent him for training and today he is one of South Africa's biggest success stories.

To read up more on James, please go to James's Facebook page.

Everyone loves or loathes Karaoke

Shot this during a great Karaoke session in Cape Town a couple of weeks ago. Either you love or loathe a cheesy song in front of the big screen, Im indifferent about the subject and it depends how many tequilas I've had before my internal Frank Sinatra emerges.

Enjoy
