48 Hours TV 2010

admin — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:13:11 +0000

After a couple false starts with projects that nearly ended up shooting on Phantom, this time everything fell in line.

The delivery requirements were huge as the show packaging was the glue that would stick together hundreds of wildly different short films to make up the 13 episode series 48HoursTV produced by Two Heads which screened on local network C4.

We flew over a camera from Melbourne & shot for 1 massive day in the studio.Â We then spent weeks editing & glitching, before adding epic sound design, completing & finishing all inhouse.

Nesian Mystik – Sacrifice

admin — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:28:45 +0000

Continuing our long established collaboration with the Nesian Boys, this is our video for their first single from the new album. Utilising a stack of pre and post production, we created a typography based motion graphics piece that was rear-projected behind the group. After filming their performance (with guest MC – WISE from the infamous Teriyaki Boyz) we set upon the post-production. This involved re-layering the motion graphics over the cut, adding camera moves, and making the grade punch.

Warner Wilder Viral

How to kick start a fundraising campaign for a School chapel? Shoot a viral with Vampires & Zombies obviously.

We were given an open brief to get people’s attention & relished the chance to put the school under seige. Shot on a Sony EX & graded & composited on After Effects, nobody saw it coming…

Nesian Mystik – R.S.V.P

Featuring PNC, and the absurdly stunning & talented Lesley-Ann Brandt, this is the one-shot I didn’t chicken out of.

Great work by the Nesian’s helping stage manage this tricky clip & to every available pair of hands on the day, you helped make this happen.

Special thanks to “I’m a Robot” Grip Gary Illingworth, boom-swingin’ gaffer Karl Saunders & razor-sharp sharp-smith Frith Locke-Bonney.

Nesian Mystik – Mr Mista

admin — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 03:34:04 +0000

Mr Mista is the 3rd single from the Nesian’s latest record ‘Elevator Musiq’ The approach was pretty straightforward and disciplined, still keeping in line with the loose theme of our earlier two tracks — keep it nostalgic, keep it New Zealand.

A small crew headed to Welcome Bay, Te Awanui’s hometown Marae and filmed on 16mm with available light only. We just wanted to capture the Nesian’s doing their thing (this is where they go to write) and connecting with the people who give them the support to do what they do.

Big, big thanks to Crighton Bone and Jonny Yarell especially who really went above and beyond to make this happen, as well as to Che Fu and Cydel for guest starring and just being legends.

Nesian Mystik – Dance Floor

admin — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:25:55 +0000

The only thing missing from this early ’90s retrofest is the Fresh Prince. Tapping into nostalgia once more for the Nesian’s second outing, this clip poses one of the great existential questions of our time:

Which are you, Nerd or a Cool guy?

Stylist Kylie Cooke did a killer job sorting out the fashion (and given her lead time, it was pretty much miraculous) as did Art Director Brant Fraser transforming a suburban Intermediate school hall into … a suburban Intermediate school hall in 1993.

Clap Clap Riot – Don’t Want Your Baby

admin — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:40:38 +0000

Holed up on one of Auckland’s stormiest weekends, we pulled out the Frazier lens and strapped it to the RED again to extract a little something different for the performance component. Big thanks to Speakerman for sweating it out and getting some emotion outta that big ol’ suit.

Jaquie Brown Diaries

admin — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 21:40:42 +0000

Holy-crap, it’s the best NZ comedy ever. We shed a little tear when this little love-child finally aired. Written, directed & created by longtime Bunker supporter Gerard Johnstone, Bunker contributed offline & online facilities, a title sequence and many a cleanup and VFX shot in this no-budget but seriously awesome kiwi comedy.

Made by: Everybody. No-one was spared…

Nesian Mystik – Nesian 101

admin — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:02:49 +0000

To really shake some palm trees for the first single off NZ Hip Hop allstars Nesian Mystik’s 3rd album, Bunker put together a delightful confection of polynesian goodness. Doing our best to capture the spirit and energy of a bunch of particularly talented lads, we shot over a single day on RED.

Bobby Dazzler then created a visual feast of locations, animations, transformations and movements to form one of our most popular videos to date.

Over 250,000 views on youtube, a run at the number 1 spot in NZ charts, and was one of the most played videos on C4, MTV and Juice TV Music Stations. The icing on the cake was winning Juice TV’s award for the best hip-hop video of the year.

Opshop – One Day

admin — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 21:38:17 +0000

Faced with the challenge of making a music video that reminded the nation that Opshop actually wrote this song (after it was featured in an intense national TVC campaign by NZ Post), we opted for a less is more approach, putting together a slightly abstract and untraditional performance clip.

Thanks to the crew who did stick with us over a pretty long rig and shoot at Manukau’s Genesis Theatre.
