The Road

Andrew Brauteseth — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 04:53:11 +0000

This road runs between Greyton and Riviersonderend in the Cape Overberg. It’s about one and a half hours drive from Cape Town. One evening I came across it while exploring the area and I remember getting such an incredible sense of freedom driving through the middle of nowhere watching the dust flare up on the road behind me through the review mirror. So I wrote this short song about that experience and went there again to try capture it somehow in film. I held on to the back of my bakkie while a friend drove and I managed to get this just as the sun was setting. I wanted it to be just one shot.

adidas is all in

I love the energy in this campaign. The 29 year-old parisian director, Romain Gavras, directs music videos for MIA and Justice and also short documentaries. They all have this gritty realism to them and his signature look and feel continues into the Adidas ads. You get the impression that it’s part doccie and part music video. Erich Stamminger, CEO Adidas brand says: ”’all adidas’ is the biggest campaign we have ever executed. Its creative concept brings together the diversity of the brand under one strong roof. From the court to the catwalk, the stadium to the street, we are giving an authentic statement with credibility only adidas has.”

Credits:
Directed by: Romain Gavras
Agency: Canadian agency Sid Lee created and produced the global campaign
Production agency: Jimmy Lee.TV
Production company: 75
Music: “Civilization” from the new album from Justice. You can hear the full song on soundcloud.

This is the 120 second version of the ad. There’s a much quicker 30 second that’s been flighting on TV locally. You can see the other versions of the ads which feature football icon Messi, Street artist Cyclops, Derrick Rose the American Basketball star and others on this post on Inspiration room.

Man Made Moon

I recently shot the cover and marketing artworks for Lindiwe’s soon to be released single, Man Made Moon. The original idea of the shoot was inspired by movement and dance. I wanted to blend both hard and soft movements and choreograph the stills in a way that showed the song’s themes in a dramatic and unique way. The single “Man Made Moon” also has a lot of references to outer space, being out of touch and a sense of alienation on an emotional level. So the styling, hair and the strong pieces of clothing from the designers added to these layers of meaning. On the cover image, Lindi has a very powerful pose, but you also get this sense that she has landed from outer-space, some place totally off the radar.

I love how Lindi works with so many incredible South African designers and especially young design graduates. On this shoot we had items from Lara Klawikowski and Lameez Claasen and also from established SA jewelry designers Ida Elsje and Philippa Green. A quote from Lindi that went to press: “Andrew shot me for the international Frazer Parfum campaign and I wanted to work with him again because I love how he directs and choreographs each frame, he understands the small stories with in the whole story.” Here are some of the shots.
