Broken – Behind the Scenes

Here are a few picks from my latest music video “Broken” by Dave Wallace.

We shot on Thursday and the video is edited and due out later this week….

Thanks to Bryce Holtshousen (art department) for taking these pics.

Luna flew down from Auckland for the day to play the vampire.

Me & Dan filming Dave in a big bird shit infested warehouse.

Luna in a bath. Andy (grip / gaffer), Dan (camera op) and I prep for a shot.

Luna in amongst some sheets.

In the bath.  Not sure where we got the hot water from but Ben & Nan (our PA’s) arrived on set with a chilli bin filled with boiling water.

This is a video that has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of months now.  Shot back in December 2009 “On A High” is the debut single for Auckland’s Gemma Russell.

Was a fun shoot as we shut down Liverpool St in downtown CHCH and had a ride on crane courtesy of Anrew @ Lakefly Productions.

Sleepy Age – Cat Face

Sleepy Age won the RDU Roundup competition for 2009. As part of their prize they got a single recorded at The Sitting Room, mastered at Tandem Studios and a video shot by me. Thanks to the Sitting Room for the use of their studio for the video. Check out the bands Myspace page

Pretty cruisy shoot – shot the performance up at The Sitting Room studios – only took a couple of hours and then a few days later went to Hagely park, ran the dog around, played with some flowers and climbed out on a branch.

Shot most of it on the Canon L 24-105mm. A lens that has since returned to Canon NZ. I miss it dearly :(

Luke Watt – Blessed and the Meek

The debut music video for Melbourne’s Luke Watt. The song comes from the album “Examples of Farewell Speech”.

Damien and myself were over in Melbourne for a wedding. Decided to go out and shoot a basic video for Luke (who we just met) one night in St. Kilda. Took about an hour to shoot.

Jimmy Maher – Golden Rule

Went to high school with Jimmy and we even played in a Rockquest band together! He (and the rest of the band) needed a vid for his self funded first single. So he flew me up and we shot this in a few hours on the trusty Canon 5D.

The Unfaithful Ways – Cruel Love

We shot this video at the old Odeon theatre on Tuam St. in CHCH. Shot in a bout 4 hours and edited in another 4. Was a nice fast turnaround and a pretty good result. My favorite video for the year.
