VIDEOGRAPHY
Here's a small sample of work that I have been trusted to film and edit for some awesome clients...
Chemist Warehouse
For the month of June in 2023, Chemist Warehouse raised a huge amount of money at Super Rugby games for local charities, and I was asked to capture all charity round game activations and create several videos for each of the partners. This video is the summary of the charity round from 2023.
Westpac NZ
As a videographer I've really enjoyed working on an ongoing basis with Westpac and Richie McCaw. We've been to some interesting places to tell stories about what Westpac are doing to help restore and protect waterways and wildlife.
Netball New Zealand
For several years Netball New Zealand has been a regular client of mine, and I'm proud of the relationship we have, and of the many hours of content we've created together that tell their stories and promote their sport.
TOTAL SPORT
The Total Sport team put on incredible events in stunning locations, and it was such a pleasure in 2019 to partner with them to promote their events and tell the story of their organisation. This video is a good summary of what we did that year, and of the library of footage they now own.
Rūnā Sailing Experience
It was a great day out on the water filming for Yachting New Zealand. They asked me to create a video to demonstrate what what the day would be like for school kids and teachers in the Rūnā programme, so that they could promote it to more schools.
VIDEO EDITING
I specialise in delivering high quality editing and story telling, in all formats, shapes and sizes.
A lot of my clients send me footage and just say "Hey Dave, can do something with this?"
And it's always a joy to quickly craft footage into something that my clients will be really pleased with.
A New Zealand Food Story
The second season of A New Zealand Food Story had a significant number of commercial partners, and the shows production team contracted me to produce short videos for each commercial partner from the shows raw files. This is just one example, which was produced for the Balance Farm Environment Awards.
MY CLIENTS SAY
The fact that Dave continues to get requests from our clients to capture their content is testament to his ability to deliver to brief, work fast and efficiently, and produce creative content that engages audiences.
