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!!!
