Filming completed for L&B music video
Trust us to always try and do things in the remotest destinations possible!
We've completed filming for the music video for "Loaded Gun", performed by acoustic rock duo Lloyd & Bruno. The band was awesome, the gear was great, the DOP was great, but the location...hell what a challenge! The last few days' rain had turned our shooting location at a military training area outside Potchefstroom into a bit of a jungle and getting all the gear and the crew to the site turned into a challenge.
But we pulled it off anyway, filming non-stop from Thursday evening (10/3) to Friday morning around 2:30 AM.
Above: Power in the bundu...power for the shoot was supplied by three generators that ran non-stop from 15:00 to 3:00 the next morning
Tech support, power and lighting for the project was supplied by Fritz de Jager from Bottomside Productions and the man is a lifesaver! The shoot reached well into the night and the early morning hours of the following day and Fritz kept everything going without a hitch.
Above: Monkey man...DOP Eduan Kitching films a closeup shot of L&B frontman Bruno dos Santos. Fritz de Jager is providing support. Fritz kept the dollie wheels rolling, the lights shining and the DOP from injuring himself!
Above: Realistic props. Oh yes, the assault rifle is real
Above: Images from the documentary were projected on the walls of the bunker behind the band
Above: The music video was shot on a dollie-mounted Canon 5D DSLR. The footage looks awesome
The music video is currently in post-production and if Eduan's 5D footage is anything to go by, this video is going to be something spectacular.
Watch this space!
