Jack Parow

Ive set a couple of goals for myself over the last couple of years. Not the crazy "5 year i wanna be president plan" kind of goals but more like a wish list. In the beginning i wanted to edit. I got an editing job. Then i wanted to edit a music video. I got to do a couple of vids for some really great bands. My next goal is to do more Ads and then one day when i have gathered enough skill to cut a feature. It was never on my wish list to direct. But over the last year i have been pitching for some songs. All these bands had one person in common. Hunter Kennedy. Hunter and Pierre Greeff run Supra Familia, a small record label. They called me a while back and asked if wanted to do a viral for Jack Parow. The ideas started to come together and it quickly went from viral to music video. I think Zander is a genius. His tunes are heavy on the ear for most people(he swears like a pirate that lost his wooden leg) but still so good and intelligent that no one really cares.

Anyway so we made this video. My first directing job. It was shot in Bellville. When i was in primary school we used to go eat ice cream at burger fair on a Sunday. I lived with Heno and Laudo around the corner for a year an a half. It was fun.

Oh i wanna mention some people on this project that helped out. Annelie Mare busted the producer role with the efficiency of a German train. Zenn van zyl was DOP and Heino Henning did the grade. That guy loves his job so much. What a legend. So many people helped out. thanks everyone!!!

187 and friends

I have been working on some projects with 187 over the last couple of months. Thomas introduced me to Janette de Villiers and Groundglass Productions. I have been working there on contract basis and am really loving the vibe. Its been such a pleasure hanging out with some creative minds and not just by myself in my room:)

Anyway i was saying that Thomas decided to go on a rampage of the South African music video scene. He directed and i cut day and night for weeks. Working on budgets varying from a couple of coins to a small college fund for Jack. Here are some of the projects we finished in the last 2 months.


I met Beer for the first time officially when i asked him for some songs for a show i did in 2008 called Gig fabriek. We had no money so it had to be a freebie. Glad i could give a little bit back. This was shot on the 5 and 7d. I even filmed a bit on this vid. check it.



Farryl Purkis video shot on 16mm...



Fire through the window shot on 5d. Shot in Durban. I received a first edit from the lead singer Sinaed. I changed a little bit on the edit and also did a bit of a grade.



Die heuwels fantasties doing what they do best. Go on holiday. This was shot on 16mm, Sony EX1(Letus 35mm adapter) and 5d in Mozambique. I enjoyed these edits. Specially Klein tambotie boom. There is something bout these songs that i just love.

Get outa my way...

So at last the Uhuru video is out. Was a great edit. Haven t done a performance vid for a while now. Natasja directed and Caleb filmed again. I really like it...

aKing's new video...

So after a bit of work its finally here. Did a bit more on this video. Was involved on set in a sort of assistant director with Natasja Fourie. It's beautiful.

Fortune vs From the Future vs Van Halen

I did this animation for Blunt magazine a year or so ago. Matt "Fortune" Edwards did the graphics and Mr Hennie Van Halen did the tunes. Was good.

Moving pictures from way back then.

When i started working as an editor i always wanted to do music videos. Everything about it was appealing. The platform to me is awesome.

In the last 2 years i have been fortunate enough to cut a couple of really cool ones for some of the tightest bands in the scene.

Check it out

This was the second video i worked on with that crazy guy Sean Metelerkamp. He is a genius when it comes to concept. Van Coke Kartel - Verdoof, Vergiftig, Verskoon my.


This was the 3rd video i did with Sean. He loves 16mm.I do too.

Natasja Fourie is one of my favourite local Photographers. We have been friends forever. She recently had a another crack at Directing after her first and only short film won numerous awards. Haha. She will have a big impact in film in the years to come. Unbelievably talented and she is still young. Van Coke Kartel - Wat Het Van Ons Geword.
