Commercial Film Production Support, South Africa
DUNCAN R.
Duncan, a great eye for an edit, an intuitive sense of framing, an astute technical mind give this director a head start when it comes to film language. Growing up in remote areas of Africa was great training for quick eyes and an almost instant appraisal of dynamic situations. A keen and perceptive observer of the smallest detail Duncan grasps the 'bigger' picture in terms of viewer experience. An acclaimed and sought after film editor in the early part of his career, he knows just how to dove tail what happens in front of the camera with the needs of post-production, and he has developed a close working relationship with Voodoo (who also feature in our talent pool) and other post-production specialists.

His most recently completed project was a US$ 6 million campaign (20 x 40sec and 45sec TVC's) for Y & R's campaign for the Mobily telecommuncations network in Saudi Arabia; with a heavy reliance on motion control, time lapse, and the FlyingCam system for over 50 shooting days. Called "Mission Impossible" by the client the campaign is now very much "Mission Accomplished". See our website for uploads of the campaign. Duncan has directed a well received theatre play, a short feature and various documentary projects, as well as commercials for Triumph, Kadu, CitiBank, Dresdner Bank, Seat, P & G, Nestle and many more. Well travelled, with a broad range of interests which include diving (CMAS** diving cert), keelboat racing (Yachtmaster Commercial ticket), photography, music and earth magic, Duncan adds value to every project.
