Onwards

The last weeks been a bit of a summer haze. I've been doing a bunch of random jobs including setting up image stock libraries and getting even more frustrated with computers and video compression.

I spent the weekend hanging out with Mikey Lefebvre, and Ben Finney. Shaped up a few spots, rode our bikes a little and had a fantastic time.


What better summarizes summer? Left Finney, Middle Mikey, Right Me.

I stumbled accross this guy in the plantation. Interesting.

Introducing the 'Summer of Seb'


Summer Of Seb Episode 1 - Rockstar Energy Drink Farm Jam from Zeros&Ones on Vimeo.


Summer of Seb Episode 1 - Rockstar Energy Drink Farm Jam

Seb Kemp and I have decided to waist our valuable time producing the worst show to ever hit the internet. The 'Summer of Seb', has just launched and will contain alot of completely irrelivant shit talking and maybe a glimpse of bike riding, the perfect combo. Who knows how many episodes it will be, where they will be, or what they will be. Its raw, shaking cameras, crude humour and briliance. We bring you episode one, straight out of the Rockstar Farm Jam. Word, spread it round.

Hyundai Longboard Semis Quicktime

Heres a little tease of some longboarding at the semi finals from Piha.


The Hyundai National Champs

Apologies for the lack of posts around here lately, I've been all over the show. Time for me to pick up the blogging game again!

I returned from Piha last night after a full on week of shooting cars, logos, interviews, news feeds, art, scenics, tits, arse, and a bit of surfing inbetween. It was a pretty intense week and rad to be working with the team at NZgreenroom. I will be shoooting the entire series with NZgreenroom, and we will be creating news feeds for the main channels, quicktime internet updates over at surf.co.nz, a television show consisting of four half hour slots on Maori Televison ( airing March ) and a feature DVD which will be distributed for free on a bunch of Surf mags.

Heres a bunch of photos from the week that unfolded.

First stop at Hyundai HQ in Auckland. Its pretty amazing that Hyundai continue with there support to NZ surfing in such tight times, and managing to achieve growth in an economic downturn! It can be done.

This pretty much sums up every morning, on sunrise to get the shuckers. I had the pleasure of meeting Richard, another camera operator who works shooting surf for Billabong.

Myself on the sticks on the beach! 50 frames and shuckers through the 2x tele = epic.

After party at the Quicky house, great times.

And then a little bit of this happened.

Followed by this the next day, RedBull have decided to drop a monster 355ml cans. Hardly legal.

To end my trip, a little sleep deprived I came accross this in the AirNZ lounge at Auckland Airport. I think its the wellington bowl and Paul Needham doing a flair?! How ever I could be wrong. Pretty rad either way. Anyone know?

Toorah.

Wanaka provided the goods today, and a very memorable Sunday unfolded. Shot a bunch of bmx video with Mikey the Beligum shredder along with a solid park session with Mikey & Ben Finney in the arvo. A tad unexpected but it turns out Im off to Piha tomorow for the week to shoot the surf nationals. If anyone needs to get in touch, call me on my phone. Toorah.
 
Mikey the tranny dogger takes it to the streets son. Ever wallrided the East Side Cafe blackboard? I think not.

Hyundai Longboard Nationals 2009

I've just returned back to Wanaka after what was a very interesting week away. Regan Low from NZGreenroom Productions approached me to be part of the team that documents the Hyundai Longboard Nationals. On the 3rd/4th of Jan the first round took place at The Mount on some very flat surf, how ever we got the job done. We were working on a News piece, web edit, and a feature television documentary on the entire series that will air in March.

We had a team of three camera operators for the two days, ( Along with Trinity Ludlow, who was editing/interviewing ) and it was amazing to be working with a dedicated crew, as apposed to the one man team. Regan has built a dolly that far surpasses the one that Kelly Mcgarry and I built in Nelson, we got some rad shots with it.

Heres a little tease from our coverage over at surf.co.nz

I'll be floating around NZ for most of summer looking for freelance film and photo work, as at this stage TakeOne is not happening, so if you need anything done get in touch. Below are a few Isnaps from the last journey. 

Regan Low the Director of Photography packs up a bunch of the kit in Auckland.

We filmed some interviews at the Surf Museum within The Mount surf shop, definitely worth a look. Lots of historical pieces of NZ surfing in there. 

CJs Sony getting the job done.

Regan Low ( DOP ) and Matt ( Runner/assistant ) at the nationals.

The Hyundai packed perfectly to the brim by Regan, the production crew has the Santa Fe for the months of the nationals, its a rad vehicle.

I managed to luck out and get the exit seat on the way back, footspace is choice!
