The music video for Zebra and Giraffe’s third single off Collected Memories, Oxymoron was released today. Marcus Maschwitz shot the video, and I directed and edited. It was great fun, and i love creating something that you can really get into, and this is definately one of those projects. Although the video looks super smooth, it was actually shot on a Digital SLR stills camera at 10 and 5 frames per second which really suits the feel of the song. We shot around 39 000 photos and used approximately 15 000 in the edit. Make sure you watch it in high quality on the website or on Youtube click on the “watch in high quality” tab.

This one’s for the gear geeks. This was a first for me, and therefore worth a blog. Normally i use two very different sounding amps in stereo, a vintage Marshall, and a modern Fender and sometimes as on our last CT trip i used and AC 30 Vox and a Fender twin and was super happy with the sound. When we played Kirstenbosch Gardens, for the first time, i used two Vox’s. A 1963 AC 50 Vox + Cab, as well as a modern AC 30 Vox…and surprisingly it happened to be one of my sweetest sounding tones. I loved it, and Roger (best backline/monitor guy ever) solo’d my channels and listened to it most of the set which was cool. The first pic is of the two beautiful Vox’s and the second pic is the beautiful Kirstenbosch Gardens right before they opened the gates. Just under 4000 people piled in that day, and i absolutely loved the show.
