Tourism New Zealand / Middle – Earth Shoot

Interviewing New Zealands best film pilot, Alfie Speight. Alfie was the lead pilot in several feature films including the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Always my number one pilot for shooting aerials with!

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Tourism New Zealand shooting in a variety of locations around the Southern Lakes Region. It was an incredible few days and yet another eye opener to more locations in our backyard. I chose to shoot on the Sony FS700 and Canon5D with Canon L series primes. This way I could cover a variety of looks by myself and manage audio. Behind the scenes stills from my assistant Bel Jones.


200FPS Chopper landing with water rotor wash looks impressive!

Busy day at the office in Paradise


Miles Holden was the stills photographer on the shoot, this image sums up how much we enjoyed our selves!
