In production: video series on Community Engagement

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Monday, February 29, 2016,

I'm currently working a new video series that looks at a few of the programmes that form part of the NWU's Community Engagement and research implementation. The first few clips should go live on YouTube soon and I'm very pleased with the results. I decided to put away the zoom lenses and shoot the majority of my footage with primes, and I'm glad I did because the depth of field is awesome and it is exactly the look I was going for!

From YouTube: things that go bang

Ok so it's no secret that I like GoPros and all things military - I have clients in the defense industry, so that's my excuse...

So what better then than a combination of the two. Yes folks, GoPro jets are back!

As always, kill the sound and watch the visuals, because apparently jet jocks have terrible taste in production music. This time it is footage of an aircraft that is currently at the center of a bit of controversy due to it's looming retirement. The A-10 Thunderbolt II has the insanely...

Yolanda Maartens Brown proves two things: that life is really unfair and some people are blessed with everything (looks, voice and intelligence), and that whoever said "I have a face for radio" was grossly inaccurate and has never been to OFM. If you've seen any of my videos you've probably heard her, because she's been my go to gal for voice-overs since...well forever (Hey, if Quentin Tarantino insists on working with Uma Thurman, then surely I can insist on working with Yollie!)

But seriou...

Welcome to February

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Wednesday, February 3, 2016,

Welcome to the first post for February. Yes, we're already in the second month of this year. Lots of things are happening this month: the new Deadpool movie is coming out (I'm a huge fan of all things Marvel, and especially all things 'Pool) and there are enough looming project deadlines to keep me mildly worried and awake at this time of the evening.

If you've been following my blog you'll know by now that Match Frame Media is now supporting a Gauteng-based Non-Profit called Counselling@, and...
