Matt came up with this great idea to shoot a TVC in a bar for the Brevis 35mm adapter. So we started susing out pubs in order to find the perfect “look” for the scene that we were after. Katie kindly offered to take the leading role and with a little encouragement from Matt, she got dolled up for the shoot. We didn’t have to look too far because the pub across the road from Matt & Katie’s had all the feng shui we needed!
We shot the TVC for the Brevis 35mm adapter, ironically, with the Canon 5D and a 50mm 1.4 lens. It took us about an hour to shoot and then 3 more or so to edit it up. I was in charge of the title animation and layout. After a little internet inspiration and talking Matt in to some appropriate background music via an out-vote, we were on our way…
We sent the clip off to “Cinevate” and they LOVED IT, so we were in business! The clip was viewed by tens of thousands of keen videography and communication professionals and enthusiasts at THE BIGGEST videography conference in the world - NAB. The event was hosted by Las Vegas, USA and Matt was fortunate enough to attended earlier this year. Matt’s Pics HERE.
We had fun doing this shoot given the frivolous nature of the clip. Congrats to Matt for coming up with the awesome idea & to Katie for her acting skills.
Took this photo yesterday while I was out on the Mary River with Josh, Brady & Will… Beautiful time of year to be out on the water eh? I love how the air and water temp is the same temp as your skin here in summer. It helps you to forget about the elements and concentrate on your boarding a little better.
The rider is Will Gunn. This is just one of the many inverted tricks that Will can throw down and pull off like clockwork. This trick is called a “Tantrum”. Will has taught me (and many others) pretty much everything i know about wakeboarding.
You should check him out on vimeo. If you don’t have vimeo, GET IT! It’s awesome!
The State Government is trying to dam our river further upstream against pretty much all the locals wishes. There are STACKS of local protests, petitions and organizations against the dam and it has been going on for years now. to read more click the link below and save the mary river. NO DAM!
Nerd: This was my first wakeboarding sequence shot I’ve done with the new D90 (55-200mm) - probably could have been better. I’ll have to work on it
Here are a few frames from the novemboard footage. Saturday morning we awoke to beautiful sunshine bursting through the trees and striking a dew filled field of sugar cane. It was truly beautiful.
