Happy St Patricks Day!
Here's the second Instagram video we made for the Shapeshifter boys. This gig was such a blast.
Life Hack Social Lab - Sovereign Social Innovation with Youthline
A re-gram from Kelly Spencer - incredi-doodling en route to the Youthline social lab in AKL.
New lapel mics! Squeee.
Mark's interview style - double-barrelled line of questioning.
Sophi and Rebeka chatting about some of the ideas generated at the Youthline event.
We hopped aboard an exciting Life Hack + Sovereign Insurance social lab exploring volunteer recruitment and retention for Youthline. The event bought together the dedicated team at Youthline, a group of varied experienced professionals from Sovereign Insurance, and social lab hosts, Life Hack. Sovereign and Youthline have been partnered for four years, with Sovereign dedicated to supporting Youthline's programmes reaching South Auckland communities.
We filmed and interviewed participants during the two-day event and are putting together a video of interviews and the general hubbub, laughter and ideas that unfolded. We were stoked to be working alongside Life Hack once again, and were able to catch up with our League of Live Illustrators comrades. For this lab, The League were represented by illustrator extraordinaires Kelly Spencer and Rebeka Whale. We also got to utilise our new Rode lapel mics - dang they're good.
LUCID DREAMBIKE - with Bicycle Junction
THE FRINGE is upon us! Last weekend Mark travelled through the starlit Wellington streets...on a LUCID DREAMBIKE with Bicycle Junction
60 particpants ventured out into the night on a whimsical tour of our home-town Wellington, made even more magical through music, dance and performance. Thanks Bicycle Junction + all Lucid Dreambike Starlit Performance collaborators. Get on yer bike!

Jon Lemmon - "When It Came Along"
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!
Two tiny pictures from our on location shoot in Auckland: street art, and ladies nestling in to a Pohutukawa tree.

2016 - SHAPESHIFTER live at Riwaka
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
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!
Location Scouting - New Music Video
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.
WGTN.
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.
The Renegade Peaches lose their fuzz!
The Renegade Peach Project got on board supporting Bald Angels Charitable Trust's event The Big Shave 2015, taking photographs of participants 'Before' and 'After' they underwent an extreme trim! The event was raising funds and showing support for underprivileged Northland children suffering from the impact of cancer and terminal illness - AND going for the Guinness World Record for the most number of people shaving their hair for a cause, by 10 hairdressers, in one hour. Here are some quick behind-the-scenes photos from our Instafeed.

Mark took on the challenge too!
462 volunteers shaved off their hair - shattering the previous Guinness World Record of 375.
A great show of community spirit and support. Well done Bald Angels!

Fundraising for child cancer with Bald Angels 2015
SOPHI is taking part in an event to raise funds for children and their families suffering from the effects of cancer and terminal illness. In looking to sponsors to shave her head bald, Sophi wants to raise essential supportive funds and also have a better understanding and empathy for those who do not have a choice in losing their hair during treatment. Bald Angels is a charitable organisation dedicated to working with children and their families in the Far North, a region so often overlooked for funding.
As well as turning to individuals and business sponsors, we're placing some crafty jars around Kerikeri for people to place any burdensome small change into. Customers who donate some coin or voice their support walk away with a warm feeling in their tummy and a hand-crafted origami paper crane. See if you can spot them all! We've left the first one at Odd Mother's Cafe, Kerikeri.
WANT TO DONATE? All donations are welcome, however large or small. Every bit counts.
Online donations can be made to Bald Angels Charitable Trust
WESTPAC 03-0351-0240110-00 (for INTERNATIONAL deposits the Swift Code is: WPACNZ2W) with "BA12" and/or "Sophi Reinholt" as the reference.

AIRBORNE \\ A3 - Adam Page "Bread & Sticks"
Oh, bonjour! Nous pensons que vous aimerez cette vidéo! From Paris, city of revolution and romance, we're pleased to present AIRBORNE \\ A3 - Adam Page "Bread and Sticks".
We can't believe it's already time to unveil this video set to an unreleased looping, swelling and hypnotising track from Adam Page. Despite Sophi falling ill during filming, we captured as much of this city's charm, simple gastronomic pleasures, scents (yes, scents!) and iconic structures as we could.
