Khaya Mthethwa Ft Proverb Music Video Location Scouting

Our first set-up

We painted the wall because our DP Dave Pienaar hated how it looked and it came out very nicely at the end though

We were lucky that this set up was in the afternoon and the light was easier to control. Light coming in was not too heavy because it was bit cloudy throughout the day.

We originally wanted to shoot Proverb's part against this backdrop but we used other spaces in the building. Sometimes  new ideas come as the shoot is progressing.

Location makes or breaks a video or any other shoot for that matter. We were given a brief by Khaya to do a specific treatment for his second music video featuring Proverb and this required a very specific location that over-looks the city. 

Above are the pictures I took when were doing our reece with The Jobie. Once you see the final product you will see the difference a good DP, good lighting, good camera movement does for this simple looking space.

The concept of the video is very simple on purpose and it is performance based. It is just about 'pretty pictures' and glossy with a bit of rough edges.
