The GB Collective

From the side of the stage and I did not take these pictures so please do not invite me  to take pics for your wedding  or  parties. Sometimes you get weird requests from family and friends.

Jobie One, MC for the night and dj too. Men can multi task too

Thanks to the kind people at Zag for allowing us to use their space

The crowd

The poster that got everyone to the venue and hopefully it can get you to the cd shop too or iTunes.

GB Collective album is probably the best album I have heard in five years. It has solid jams, very well produced and the talent on it is world class.
Organising this launch was a mission and a half but the team pulled it off and everyone played their roles very well.

AKA - Working On A New Album

The set up

Interview for Channel O Africa

We shot an AKA interview for a show called Volt on Channel O Africa. The show does not play in SA but other 47 or 52 countries on the continent not sure about the number but a lot of countries.

We had to interrupt his recording session and he was a good sport about it. His producer Sticky was not too happy  about the interruption, we understand his reasoning though. He thinks an artist should just focus on the recording part while working on an album. It is a double edged sword, though.

One of the dancers behind a wall we had just painted and it gave us a very nice rustic feel

One the best DPs on the continent, Mr Dave Pienaar (Google search the name please. The dude  has shot over 500 music videos from P Square, D Banj, Proverb, Tuface, and now Khaya)

The madness behind the pretty pictures

Khaya handling a few interviews. There were over 6 media houses covering the shoot and  it was a bit of a challenge to  control our set. We love the PR but sometimes when you have too many cameras on set it can be a distraction.

Proverb doing his bit for PR.

Khaya and director Jobie Bakama (I was assistant director on this one)

Setting up

Another set up

Location from extreme wide

The brief that we got from Khaya  and his team was to keep everything simple. We shot the Move music video but it was directed by Tebogo Malope and it had very intricate visuals. It was Visual Poetry. This video was not too much of a challenge, it was quiet simple to execute. We shot everything in one location and the crew was not too big, but small and efficient. We wanted to showcase more of his performance repertoire and shoot it clean. Anuq from Zinto did  the choreography on the video and she did a stellar job.

We had mad fun shooting this video, it is always a pleasure to work with Khaya or Proverb.
