The Race – Glidecam 2000

Posted on

Last weekend I decided to make the most of being in New Zealand and to test out my new toy, the‘ Glidecam 2000′ (which I have to say is amazing – I’ll post more about it in the near future). So I shot a simple video about a running race with a group of mates. On the Saturday we went location hunting around Auckland City and ran through each scene. Once we’d finished preping we drove to the North Shore to shoot the ending of the film just before dark.

On the day of the shoot I woke up early, finished preping my gear and headed into Auckland to start filming. The weather was amazing, just as we hoped and we got some cool shots while having a blast. By the end of the shoot we were feeling a bit tired but we were stoked (happy) as we managed to shoot everything we needed plus a few extra shots. I will upload the video soon. But for now here are a few photos from the shoot. Thanks to Taylor Saunders for all the behind the scenes photos.

Ok Go

Ok Go are a brilliant band who came to fame through youtube with their video ‘Here We Go Again’. Since then they’ve made some incredible videos which include ‘White Knuckles’ and ‘This to Shall Pass’. Under a week ago they came out with their latest video ‘Needing / Getting’ which is just incredible. The idea behind the video was to build a big instrument that can be played by a car. It’s genius! You can watch the music video here:

On Friday I arrived back to London from my quick trip to Ireland. I went with two friends and we explored Dublin, Cork and Limerick. There were lots of castles and amazing green horizons, it was a beautiful contrast from the buzzing city of London. Below are a few photos from our adventures.

A Norwegian Christmas Holiday

Over the Christmas break I went to Norway to spend 3 weeks with my family there. It was the second time I had been there since I was two months old and it was a great opportunity to get to really know my family there and have a taste of the Norwegian culture. The first two weeks were spent in Trondheim where I celebrated Xmas which started with opening presents on Christmas eve and finishing a week later very tied and very full after lots of partying, eating, drinking and talking. It was great fun!

On my last week in Norway I went to a small town called Rissa where my Granddad and his wife live. Rissa is extremely beautiful with lots of lakes, streams and wildlife. I love it there. On a sunny day it’s unreal how magical it is. The majority of snaps that I took while in Norway were taken in Rissa. I just couldn’t stop taking photos, everywhere I looked it was so amazing. Raw nature at it’s finest.

I love Norway and I’m really looking forward to coming back to explore new areas, make new friends and have more epic adventures! Below is a little taster of some of the sites I saw while in Norway over Christmas. I hope you enjoy!

Happy New Year everyone, I hope you had a fantastic night of celebrations and I wish you all the best for 2012! I was fortunate enough to have spent my New Years with family in a small town in Norway called Trondheim. I had a brilliant night and met some wonderful people. I’ve just been watching all the firework displays and celebrations from around the world and I’m in complete awe with the time and effort that have been put into them. They’re spectacular. Below are a few of the incredible fireworks displays that were put on around the world. AMAZING!

New Zealand extreme sports legend Chuck Berry has been working on building a high altitude microlight in his garage for the last three years. He’s finally brought his dream to reality and finished the plane with amazing results. The team at Red Bull have been working hard on making a documentary of his journey in bringing the craft to life. Below is an excerpt from the the doco. It was really nice to see that some of my shots made it into the cut (the shots of Chuck building the microlight in his garage).
