Where to start…
…wowsers, the past month has flown by in a blur of catching flights, vans of dudes, working 16 hour days, packing and loading gear, getting stiffed by airlines for baggage, and New Zealander Of The Year Awards. I’ve been up and down the country working for Red Bull New Zealand, and also spent a day on the road with the Vans NZ skate team, documenting our trip from Auckland to Wellington for the Vans Bowlarama. What a crazy trip. It’s good to be part of a team that can just clown around, being the token BMXER for Vans in NZ has it’s good and it’s bad sides when in a Van full of skaters. So much crazy stuff went down, and also a lot of skateboarding, then in wellington I shot Pedro Barros for a Red Bull piece, he ended up winning the comp, then back to Auckland for a couple of days, then off to Queenstwon to do another shoot for Red Bull, this time it was for the Roast It BMX comp. The jumps were super nice, and a tonne of good riding went down. I would have liked to have taken my bike with me to get a ride in, but had so much baggage I probably wouldn’t have been let on the plane. Back in Auckland for a few days doing post production then off back down to Queenstown to shoot for Red Bull again, this time at the Frew Farm Jam. In between all that, I produced some video packages for the New Zealander Of The Year awards. they were a bunch of nomination packages, mostly still images laced together with Voiceover. I did all the sound post at Radiate Sound, and enlisted the help of my own Voiceover agency, Bigmouth Voices, for the talent. All went down well with those. ALSO just finished a quick edit for Etnies America, on Levi Sherwood, one of their top FMX riders from Palmerston North here in NZ. Once that is delivered I’ll be sure to throw a link up! Doing another edit for Yagermeister NZ, and also a digital ad agency here in Auckland just gave away 15K to a lucky woman who entered one of their online Quizes, so did a lil shoot with them about the winner…Lots more exciting stuff coming up, so watch this space! arch, ha ha!
