A walk though Kalk Bay

A walk through Kalk Bay - a fishing village in transition. The roads been under construction for ages, visitor numbers are down, shops have given up and closed, while some have grimly hung on. And then others thrive, with great food, new startups with a queue for a spare table. Opportunities. Come down take a look.

With a little help...

It's what we do - but theres so much I get out of shooting the different programs and events we're privileged to cover. In the outlying areas, inland and up the West Coast, there are often a few songs from the local school choir. Not the begrudging, slack attempt I remember when I was dragged into the tenor warblers, but a full on, confident, motivated group. Theres so much potential out there and each one deserves a proper chance. At this event, Oceana donated 3 busses to schools in the area where their factories are. There have also been a few smartboards that have not only helped the learners, but motivated and 'capacitated' the staff. Looking forward to extracting the essence of the story through editing the interviews I shot.

Pocket production

With smartphones having enough megapixels and HD quality video for webcasts - the logical extension was to add a few lenses for different situations. Hows this wheel of 3 for the iPhone 4 - a wide angle, a fisheye and a telephoto. Shooting that mobilephone movie just got a whole lot better.

November 3rd

This isn't a sponsored message, but something bigs coming out of Canon on November 3rd in Hollywood. The hypes been generated for 2 months, everywhere you read rumours about what it could be, local camera shops are guessing it might be a video camera building on the success of their 7D and 5D cameras.

But the gut feeling is a gamechanger is approaching - and I'm going to have to find some cash...And if it's all for nought, then I won't believe the press release they send out ever again - pressures on!

Baboons

This post should have shown a pic of baboons on the urban edge...the ones debated in the papers and on radio, the ones that cause the havoc, get shot, culled, relocated...couldn't find one in the last week. Naturally, it was critical to the script, visualised and agreed on...I'm off to Freaky Feast - anyone want to wear the gorilla suit for my long shot?
