A Story about purpose: Fall Forward
In our line of work we experience many things, from contagious joy to sadness that keep you up at night, to moments of genuine inspiration. It can be daunting to tell a story, someone else's story. Not everyone agrees with what we do or how we do it, and that's okay, but we'll sure do our best to make you understand why we are doing what we do. Through all of this we are constantly reminded that we are only 21, and what difference can a 21 year old really make in South Africa? In the past month we lost two clients and friends we worked with closely to unlikely accidents. One was a student, leader and great influence among the University. The other a business man, father and role model to many. This made me think about when my time is up if I would be done with the work that God set out for me to do on earth. This is where the decisions is made to fall forward, to fall forward into a dream and follow it. There is a greater reason for why we feel passionate about certain things and as long as we do what resonates in our hearts and do it for Him we don't have to worry about when this day will come.

Drakensberge: Lower Injisuthi
Переглядів 3365 років тому
Location: Injisuthi Central Drakensberg. It was a 6 hour drive through a village where my 1.6 Carolla behaved like an mountain baboon on a rocky slope. Luckily Eddy was our "Trusty-Toergids" who we never doubted. Over all I have little words about Injisuthi, but I believe in the words of Thabo Mbeki it is said best - "And I know none dare challenge me when I say, I am an African". Through all t...
Naukluft Hiking Trail 2019
Переглядів 2,8 тис.5 років тому
The Naukluft Hiking Trail, the Chuck Norris of Hiking Trails, this was one of the hardest but also longest hiking trails in Namibia stretching 138 km in eight days. Right from the start we started climbing steep mountains that turned into rock faces where there is no room for error. Between our group of 9 people we carried a Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic GH5 and a drone. This meant that our bag...

Mandela Day is officially my favorite day of the year, imagine if we gave 67 minutes of our time every month to a community project. On 18 July I dedicated my 67 minutes to showing how students get involved in the local community around Potchefstroom and honestly my heart has never been this warm. Seeing people who dedicate their career to helping others gives you a new outlook on life and sudd...

Gopro: 2018 Adventures
Переглядів 1895 років тому
So 2018 was one of the more adventurous years as we had a lot more time and freedom. I think I learned that worrying doesn't take away tomorrows troubles, it takes away today's peace. I also learned that dreams do come true when you work for it and that it's not something that just happens to you. Met some incredible people and as every year goes by I see myself growing into each new phase and ...
Gopro: The art of adventure
Переглядів 3466 років тому
This is a collection of over 4 years of footage that sums up all the adventures I have come across since I bought my first gopro. This was also my entry for the NWU's Lumiere Film Festival where I won an internship with Film Factory. I'm so stoked to work with these guys and see what the future holds for my passion for filming.

This year was extra cold with light snow moving in with the cold front where we stayed. Lamara is abut 20km outside of Richmond and is where most of the footage was shot with my bro Cawood on the DJI Spark(he killed it btw) and John George as the driver and fist pumping guy at the back of the bakkie!. The last time I saw such beautiful milky way was in Namibia...it is hard to capture the beauty...

      Ek kan ORMS voorstel. Letwel in post production gaan die footage deur colour grading, so die kleur wat jy sien is nie so saturated voor post production nie. Nie te min, die DJI Mavic Pro is 'n hella champ 🙌
