Be Phat Motel Produces the Goods for Loeries 2008
The Be Phat Motel Film Company is an up and coming collaboration between a number of South Africa's hottest young industry professionals. A year after coming together as a creative team, they're making waves through consistent high-end work and their ability to think outside the box. A desire to push the boundaries of the South African film industry, conceptually, visually and narratively are the driving forces behind Be Phat Motel.
A recommendation by Velocity Films executive producer, Peter Carr, saw Be Phat Motel approached early in 2008 to produce a series of visuals for this year's 30th anniversary Loerie Awards ceremony, specifically the six musical performances. The team jumped at the opportunity to experiment with a number of styles and techniques, enthused by the challenge of creating arresting visuals for the three massive on-stage screens, not to mention an audience with refined and particular tastes. True to form, Be Phat put aside budgetary restraints and set out to create something in line with the calibre and scale of the event. Partnerships where struck up with industry stalwarts Condor Post Production, Waterfront Studios, Media Film Services and Annie's Wardrobe in order to facilitate the sizey affair, the resultant product reflecting far, far more than the modest budget allocated.
Spanning five days, the production took the Be Phat Motel team from a vacant West Coast desert location to the cosy confines of Waterfront's Stage 2, and culminated in an all-out dusk till dawn shoot in the heart of Parow Industria. Production was swiftly followed up by a post schedule which would have given any hardened editor a nose bleed. Putting together six, three-screen, four-minute music videos was no small feat; thankfully Condors Grant Aerts was with them every step of the way, putting the finishing touches on the job in Condor's new Flint Online suite. After seeing the event go down without a hitch the Be Phat Motel team are proud of the final outcome and would like to thank all those involved.
Following the completion of the Loeries Job, Be Phat Motel return to development on their flagship international feature The Lambda Child, to which a top international actor has just been attached, as well as putting the finishing touches on a big budget music video project - on the low down for now. Exciting new projects are in the pipeline. See www.bephatmotel.com for details and updates.
