"But did you at least ride a camel?"

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Tuesday, May 1, 2018,

I have a friend who works in the film industry. I’ve always envied him because he is an incredibly talented cameraman who has worked on several high-end television and movie productions. I once asked him about the glamorous entertainment industry he worked in; about all the expensive toys and the famous people that surrounded him on a daily basis. He then knocked my feet out from under me when he paused briefly and remarked with a tired expression on his face: “You know the bigger the pro...

Last video in community project series now live on YouTube

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Thursday, June 9, 2016,

Today sees the last video in a ten-part series on NWU community engagement go live on YouTube. This concludes a very ambitious project that started small in February with a single promo and has now evolved into a full campaign that will combine print and online media. Actually I wish we could have done a few more of these community projects as I believe this is the type of stuff that need to be in the headlines instead of all the political garbage and negativity that has been going around (Co...

First video in series now live on NWUtv

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Wednesday, April 6, 2016,

Let me be honest - I haven't been this excited about a project in ages. Which is probably why I'm now blogging about it for the THIRD time...

The past few weeks were at times hectic and brutal, but we're finally launching the first in a series of ten videos on community engagement projects on the NWU's official YouTube channel NWUtv and wrapping up filming on the last episode towards the end of April.

I really enjoyed filming in Mafikeng and the staff at NWU Mafikeng went to a lot of trouble t...

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...

First Counselling@ video on YouTube

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Saturday, January 9, 2016,

Here is the first video in the series. The second clip will be on their YouTube channel soon. Counselling@ does some really valuable work in disadvantaged communities and schools, so how about supporting them. Given the amount of bad news in the media, we can all do with a few more good deeds everywhere.

In production: new documentary

Posted by Corne Scheepers on Sunday, September 9, 2012,

Above: shooting footage for an upcoming documentary on a community music project

Yes, it's documentary time again.

We've nearly wrapped up filming and I'll be starting with post-production this week. I'm really loving this project. It's a remarkable story of a group of kids who through music reach a higher potential. The remarkable part? Well the kids, many of them from underprivileged backgrounds, go from complete novices to playing in a full wind ensemble in only a week! Some truly inspir...
