This month we look into ‘how it all began’ for Tasman Bay Media, with ‘Part 5: KOR’.
After Simons time at TVNZ (see Part 4 for the full story) he began working for KOR and stayed there for almost seven years.
KOR is a corporate video production company producing videos for: marketing, internal comms, health & safety and training. The companies which they would produce videos included, BNZ, D3, Partners Life, Vodafone, Pernod Ricard and lots more.
The way that videos were produced was essentially like working as your own production company. The brief would be given to you by the Production Manager, you would come up with the ideas of how to achieve the concept, write the script, film and edit. Occasionally on larger projects Simon would work in collaboration with the other crew members, but for most of the time each of the team would work on their own projects.
Some of Simons favorite projects were for D3 (with Kiwi boxer Shane Cameron), Dream Nanny (which used some great child actors) and a Santa promo for Sky City (with the real Santa playing himself).
Next month we look into ‘how it all began’ with ‘Part 6: Tasman Bay Media’.
