I made a promotional video for a bio-products company called NBISA. Some of the areas I had to film in were so sanitary that I had to wear 3 layers of protective-wear, hair net, shoe covers, the works. Even my camera and equipment had to be sanitised. It was a full day of filming and I’m happy with how the final product turned out.

I originally did two separate video shoots to try get live footage of an actual person making a mask by following the steps, but both shoots ended up being busts, so I ended up making it entirely with motion graphics. I made it in Adobe After Effects from scratch, it was the culmination of about 180 layers of moving content!

A few days after I did the photography for The Gregory I went back to shoot some footage, partly because I wanted to try out my new DJI Ronin gimbal and also because I’ve known Greg for many years and was happy to see him laying some foundations here in SA while so many others are thinking about emigrating.

Now and then I get a project which I really enjoy doing, one of those was the logo animation for Garden Tube. My wife Ruth designed the logo for our client, and not long after they asked if we could animate the logo too for their upcoming program on The Home Channel on DSTV and their Youtube channel.

I completed two promotional videos for Africa Bespoke Apparel. They are a corporate clothing manufacturing company based in Verulam, KwaZulu-Natal which currently employs 450 staff. The business less than a year old and the purpose of the videos is to play at the launch event as well as subsequent expos and other events. I created the videos entirely from scratch and without help, having done the filming, editing, graphics, music and output.

I did both photos and video for the Autotronix Tugela River Water Treatment Plant. The brief was very simple, to capture video footage of all the automation systems that they had engineered. I asked if they wanted to add some voice-overs, an interview or some graphics but they were happy to just have the footage put together in a video clip. So here it is!

At the same time that I did the staff headshots, I also shot the below footage for the introduction videos. Lesa was a natural in front of the camera, she spoke confidently and directly. It’s always such a pleasure working with clients that are on the ball!

I was asked by a company called Labora Shoes to put together two videos for an event they were hosting. One of the videos was about the founder of the company and the book that he had written about his life and rise to success, the other was about the foundation that he founded. I interviewed some of the recipients of the foundation and shot some scenes inside the factory to use as cutaways. This is a wonderful family who do a lot for the community by giving them work and changing their lives.
