It was absolutely incredible to go on tour with UB40 ft. Ali Campbell + Astro - and to experience the crowd going gently wild at London’s O2. Here are some of the videos we put together for the band as they made their way across the UK and Amsterdam. We’ll be jumping aboard another UB40 tour leg soon - stay tuned!

Official Music Video - Tunes Of I "KISS THE SKY"
It has landed!
Our music video collaboration with Tunes Of I + Don't Panic Pictures is out in the 'verse and Happy has premiered it! We had a blast working with TOI. Thanks for having us aboard!
Thanks also to NZOnAir for supporting great New Zealand music.
Word from Happy on KISS THE SKY (Official Music Video):
"Ok, let’s talk about the new video from Tunes Of I… this thing is an all-out explosion of wonderful weirdness [...] I feel like I’ve just come off a really intense trip, but I’m not complaining. In fact, I can’t wait to do it all again."
TUKI Festival - Glendhu Bay, Wanaka
What a blast!
Thanks TUKI Festival for having us along to film + interview an outstanding line-up. From treasured personal favourites like The Phoenix Foundation + UMO to new encounters such as Aaradhna, Marlon Williams, Lips, Maala and more, TUKI festival delivered great set after great set. We filmed a portion of each set and then interviewed the artists about their upcoming year in music, their experience of TUKI + then threw in a few curveball queries...
The TUKI crew were welcoming + so hospitable. Much aroha to the organisers, Lake Wanaka SouNZ. Profits made from the festival go directly back into future events and the Wanaka community. Since the first festival put together by the non-profit group in 1998, more than $118,000 has been put back into supporting music, youth, and the environment within the region.
It was also our son Theo's first festival - and he not only survived it like a champ, he seemed to really get into it! And of course, last but not least, thanks to Aerial Vision for coming aboard to film and capture some drone footage! It's always great to work alongside this duo.

Marlon Williams charming the crowd with a fantastic band backing him. This set was the start of a 60 shows for Marlon.
Theo! Our little man on high watching Marlon Williams' set. His first festival of many.

ASTON RD Sessions 2016
We were lucky enough to be a part of the Aston Rd Sessions again this year - a series of three consecutive evenings of live studio sessions with the fantastic talent of Aston Rd. Thomas Oliver, Louis Baker + Estère respectively performed in front of a live audience, with those audiences being treated to an especially created cocktail + curated tasting menu before an intimate performance experience in the studio's recording room. Under the audio-wizardry of Dr Lee Prebble, the guru + creator of renowned recording studio The Surgery, Thomas Oliver, Louis Baker and Estère each gave incredible performances which we will be making into live studio videos to be released later this year and next year.

The Black Seeds #flamingmarvellous
We went along to Homegrown 2016 to film The Black Seeds live at Homegrown 2016.
They've never failed to deliver an energy-packed, killer set - it was magic to film.
We loved their set as much as the crowd did.
Here's our take on it, edited to The Black Seeds "Turn It Around".
Life Hack Social Lab - Sovereign Social Innovation with Youthline
A re-gram from Kelly Spencer - incredi-doodling en route to the Youthline social lab in AKL.
New lapel mics! Squeee.
Mark's interview style - double-barrelled line of questioning.
Sophi and Rebeka chatting about some of the ideas generated at the Youthline event.
We hopped aboard an exciting Life Hack + Sovereign Insurance social lab exploring volunteer recruitment and retention for Youthline. The event bought together the dedicated team at Youthline, a group of varied experienced professionals from Sovereign Insurance, and social lab hosts, Life Hack. Sovereign and Youthline have been partnered for four years, with Sovereign dedicated to supporting Youthline's programmes reaching South Auckland communities.
We filmed and interviewed participants during the two-day event and are putting together a video of interviews and the general hubbub, laughter and ideas that unfolded. We were stoked to be working alongside Life Hack once again, and were able to catch up with our League of Live Illustrators comrades. For this lab, The League were represented by illustrator extraordinaires Kelly Spencer and Rebeka Whale. We also got to utilise our new Rode lapel mics - dang they're good.
2016 - SHAPESHIFTER live at Riwaka
What a start to 2016! We've been enjoying the Nelson sunshine and the company of family and friends in the lead up to the new year, and were asked to head along to Shapeshifter live at Riwaka. Thoroughly staggered (yet again) by the live performance these lads put on, as were the hundreds in the crowd. We put together a series of Instagram videos showcasing the visual highlights.
