CLIENT :
ABSA SPARK
One for the books! With our whole team in ZA grounded due to the lock down! We pulled of a campaign for ABSA AFRICA in Tanzania, got to love modern technology. Although admittedly there were some nerve wracking moments for myself and creative alike.
To set the scene: Up at 03h00 to shoot sunrise with the time zone differences, producing remotely on teams meetings, what’s app flying and remote cameras giving us live feed of the actual shoot, feeling input from all quarters! It was a challenge at best, butIt can be done peeps! Work looked great and all the countries in Africa were happy, a feat!
No job is ever without its drama, and I have to share this one…. After months of approvals and PPMs the bunny is finally signed off. Come shoot day, the bunny turns out to be bigger than our little girl…….. argh! You can laugh after the fact, but at 06h00 in the morning to find a replacement, and get 7 different countries to approve is not funny at all! (With a producer that want to cry, pull her hair out and asks …. how!)
As with all shoots its not what goes on behind the scene, its what it looks like at the end! And we have very happy client and great images! A big thanks to the marketing team and agency for being with us all hours of the day and night and, for the amazing team in Tanzania and my darling Hendri who always makes it happen with such ease, skill and humour, always a pleasure shooting with you, Sir!
