I got asked to shoot a promo for the Commodore Hotel – which is owned and operated by the Patterson family who are good friends of mine. I mixed old super 8mm footage in with new footage I shot for the 90 second spot.
Check it out…

Wayne ( a South African) & Emma (a kiwi) met each other in China and went to Terrace Downs last weekend to marry.
What a fantastic location! Damien (editor) and myself were lucky enough to get a 3 bedroom villa for the night.
The below video is we edited together on the day and played at the end of the reception.

Was recently commissioned by Tandem Studios to shoot a promo video for Polished Diamonds. So had my first crack at shooting diamonds and rings. Shot the whole video on a 100mm macro lens and hired the lush Lightworkx studio. Check out the final edit below:

I live right in downtown Christchurch – so when the 7.1 earthquake hit I was able to get some pictures of the aftermath.
Super lucky that the quake struck at 4:35am and not one single person died! Had it been 12 hours earlier – 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon it would have been a different story. Below are some of the pics I got…
They were also published in the Christchurch Star – check it out here
Got a last minute call from Cairo Knife Fight to shoot a video for their new single ‘This Is Love’ and get it out asap!
It ended up being a 2 day shoot – one of the days went well into the rainy night so thanks to the effort from all the crew!

Check out the start video below and enjoy!!
Deliver me to Hell in the news…
Read an interview I did with The Z Word here.
So for the Dave Wallace video “Broken” I wanted to use a beat up old grand piano. It turns out old grand pianos are extremely rare in CHCH and if you do find one they are expensive. So I decided to build a fake one from an old upright. As fate would have it my next door neighbor had an old upright in his back yard!
Step 1 – Get some people who love to shift heavy things or just love being in photos
Step 2 – Pull off the 200kg + cast iron back
Step 3 – Recycle what you can from the old upright
Step 4 – Add a frame (get your dad to test it)
Step 5 – Give it a bottom
Step 6 – Sexy it up
And the final result….
We added rubber bands to every key so they actually worked. The lid is made from all the panels of the old upright.
In the final video it looks like a fully functional grand piano. I give it an A+
Don’t forget to check out the piano in action here.
Update: Watch the finished movie here.
