Professor John Boys

November 10, 2011

Was great to see Professor John Boys in the news recently. John’s wireless power research is behind the technology of an Auckland based company which has just been licensed to major US firm Qualcomm. I was lucky enough to shoot this video of him recently for Unlimited magazine’s annual  Influencers issue, profiling the most influential people in NZ business.A fantastic guy, and great to shoot.

Check out this story from the NZ Herald.

I covered aspects of the Rena oil spill Last Thursday 13th October. In between pictures I shot some quick video.  I was only set up to shoot pictures on that day but the video does give an idea of what the spill did to Papamoa beach on the worst day of it last week.

I couldn’t beleive it when I got the top of the sand dunes where the crowds are looking at the mess. I had to edit quite a few seconds out of the clip-swearing and cursing.

I dont often do that when I turn up to shoot a news event, bit close to home perhaps…

Colouring in.

September 29, 2011

I need to shoot some upcoming commercial video projects with ultra shallow depth of field- only a little bit in focus. So I have started testing a few things out on my kids.

You need two things really. Fast lenses and ND filters, or a filter box in front of the lens unit. ( I dont like filter boxes- I think they add weight to the camera rig and get in the way but more on that later)

So the lenses have ND filters on them which is kind of like sunglasses for the camera. Combined with some post production to the clip and you can get some mean depth of field and texture…

All my clips are shot on HD. You can full screen the video by pressing the arrow button.
