Something I said?

Last months issue of Next magazine featured a shoot I'd done with Green MP Sue Kedgley at Parliament a few months back. The same month she announced she wouldn't be standing for Parliament after next years election... I hope it wasn't something I said?

The shoot itself was great. It was a fantastic team effort with five of us charging about the corridors of power photographing Sue wearing an array of 1920's garb. While we were rushing around inside Parliament, coincidentally there was plenty of rushing around outside as co-leader of the Green Party Russel Norman was caught in the middle of the Tibetan flag scuffle which featured in the news that day. All just another eventful day in the capital.

What to do with 52 cameras

This is awesome - aerial surfers photographed simultaneously with 52 different cameras all in a row. Produced for RipCurl, the result is a three-dimensional still image of the surfer frozen in space, Matrix-style. Check it out. Right, I'm off to work out who I can borrow about 49 cameras from.

Sneak peak: our first TVC's

Our first TV commercials hit NZ screens tonight. Initially produced as just a web promotion for this months World Rowing Champs at Lake Karapiro, they proved so popular we've cut them in to a 30-second and 15-second spot. They'll air on TVNZ over the next three weeks during the 6pm news, Primetime and Breakfast time slots. The full video has been used by SkyTV [who are official broadcaster of the event] as a promo and build-up for their coverage as well. It'll be nice to sit back, put my feet up with a beer and watch them on the box.
