A while back I received a call from Veronica from the band Zamar. I had filmed them previously at some function in Noordhoek, so I knew that these guys ooze passion, and it is extremely difficult not to like them or their music. They wanted me to make a them a music video on a very limited budget. I naturally jumped at the opportunity. So we got together on a few occasions and after much to and fro we finally settled on a location out past Stanford, called Belofte Bos. This is a beautiful location under the oaks. I tried to get the aid from an old mate, Manny, who is now a top notch DOP. This didn't work out as he has a hectic schedule, but he did offer some decent advice. I also called on the services of another old mate Graham, who helped out as grip. In Manny's absence I used the photographer of the year winner, Sybrand to assist with the lighting.
As it goes in Cape Town, it pissed with rain on the day of the shoot. We landed up setting up the entire set in an alternative location, and then the skies opened for a 2 hour period, so we went for it. We did not have time to re-do the entire set, so we just made do with what we had. After the sun went we decided to anyway use our 1st setup and shot another song there, which still needs to be edited... Anyway here are a couple of shots of the shoot, courtesy of Sybrand, and of course the video. Let us know what you think.... and thanks to everyone who was involved, it was good fun
