KITA - "Try To Find A Way" [Official Music Video]

in , , ,

It was a joy to work with KITA editing together videos sent in from band members, fans, friends & family across the world for their track “Try To Find A Way”. The videos heartwarmingly emphasise the humanness and togetherness we share, despite our current distancing. It offers glimpses into the Lockdown experience across the globe, from NZ to Japan, Taiwan to the USA, Germany to Singapore, India to Australia, the UK to Finland, France to Italy and back home to Aotearoa.

“Try To Find A Way” was also featured as Release of the Week on Re:news.co.nz

A little throwback to HOMEGROWN 2019 now that we well and truly have our thermals on!

Much aroha + respect to these fantastic bands that keep delivering just what the crowds ordered.

Here are some of the videos we put together for the band as they made their way across the UK and Amsterdam. We’ll be jumping aboard another UB40 tour leg soon - stay tuned!

The Black Seeds - NEW MUSIC VIDEO / Freakin' /

IT'S HERE!
The official music video for The Black Seeds - Freakin' from their upcoming album 'Fabric'.
It was great to be working alongside The Black Seeds and The Makers Initiative again on a feel-good, 80s vibe, pumping track.

Behind the Screen - The Nudge "DARK ARTS"

in , , ,

What a blast.  The Nudge sure know how to bring pace + vibe to a music video set.

We have been lucky enough to be able to test-drive the impressive new green screen at Massey University (WGTN) and we will be heading off to Great Barrier Island to film The Nudge in some scuba-åction glory later in the month.

This video has introduced a lot of new material, new experiences + new gear into the Peach fold - we've been filming with a legitimate + massive green screen for the first time, working with The Nudge on our first conceptual music video collaboration, and shooting with some ridiculously good new gear.  We've brought the Nikon D750, the Sigma Fisheye + Sigma Art Series 35mm 1.4 into the mix!  We're pretty excited about the visuals + abstract videography we'll be playing with.

Massive thanks to Massey, NZOnAir + these fantastic lads.

Homegrown 2016

in , , , , ,

We were in Wellington for Homegrown 2016 to film The Black Seeds (fresh from their tour of Brazil) and Shapeshifter.  We worked with a NZVR360 rig and captured a VR360 view of both The Black Seeds and Shapeshifter performing.  Both bands had outstanding sets for the huge crowds, and we were very pleased to be there to capture it all.

Here's the Homegrown 2016 Instagram video we put together for Shapeshifter.

Wellies .. homegrown epic as always.

Jon Lemmon - "When It Came Along"

in , ,

THIS GUY.
We've been working with Jon Lemmon on his crowdsourced music video for his track "When It Came Along" - a catchy, uplifting new tune from this talented source of good-vibes.  Jon asked friends, fans and family to submit footage of themselves dancing, singing or vibeing with the track.  From 6 continents, and remote locations ranging from Machu Pichu to an ice sheet in Antartica, videos began to be uploaded.  Beautiful videos, full of quirk, happiness, extreme dancing, costumes, puppets, pumice and whimsy.  Fantastic.  It's been really lovely and easy to work with Jon, and we can't stop bopping our heads with a beaming smile on our faces each time we run through a draft of the final video.  We also went out and filmed with Jon on location around Auckland - with some charming results. 

More soon!

2016 - SHAPESHIFTER live at Riwaka

in , , ,

What a start to 2016! We've been enjoying the Nelson sunshine and the company of family and friends in the lead up to the new year, and were asked to head along to Shapeshifter live at Riwaka.  Thoroughly staggered (yet again) by the live performance these lads put on, as were the hundreds in the crowd.  We put together a series of Instagram videos showcasing the visual highlights.

On Location - Louis Baker "Rainbow" Official Music Video

in , , , ,

WOW. 
Talk about working with a professional - Louis was on task and hitting his marks time after time with his performance for our new collaborative music video project.  Louis received NZOA funding to create a music video for his new track "Rainbow" and we were presented with the challenge to create a video that showcases Louis' powerful, honest and stripped-back delivery.  

We made our way through seven locations in and around central Wellington, Carterton, the Tora coastline and Martinborough, filmed in streaming sunlight and torrential rain, and ambled along bush walks, beaches and shingle pathways.  We're both really looking forward to putting together this video - more soon!

We have been travelling around the Wellington, Martinborough and Carterton scouting for the right filming locations for an exciting upcoming music video project.  New Zealand - we've got to hand it to you.  What a stunner.

back HOME. 
It's so great to be back in Wellington, and check out the sunbeams Wellington put on for us. You really can't beat this place on a good day.  We're here catching up with the boys from The Nudge (they'll be over in Bali for NYE), Jon Lemmon (who's working on a new mvproject www.whenitcamealong.com), the fine folk at Good Nature, and scouting locations for our next music video project with the outstanding Louis Baker.
