The Paper Kites - A Maker Of My Time (Official Music Video)



This was such a fun experience shooting and working on this clip . For a long while i have been the biggest fan of the paper kites and we have tried to do a video in the past but to no avail , so when this was offered I jumped at the chance. It was also a very strong collaboration between us which made it feel more personal for all.

Shot in the outskirts of Mildura in regional Victoria during its busiest weekend of the year ( the vanilla slice festival ) we shot this one take 15 - 20 times and filming in a varying array of light . In the end we all fell in love with this take which has such a joyful performance by Dzwairo Tendai.

All involved , I feel , have a special connection to this clip , our hope is that it transfers to the audience.

below are some BTS snaps taken by me.

  1. Hey Jefferton, would you be able to tell me exactly where this road is on the outskirts of Mildura? I'm location scouting for an independent short film needing a desert road! Just like this one! Love your work, this music video is beautiful.
