My ‘designer tee’s’ clip
Back in the day when I was a humble design student, I did a animation design and offline editing for TVNZ and a few advertising agencies. These were fantastic opportunites and my first real taste of a freelance lifestyle.
Offline editing is when you splice your video using ‘tape to tape’ editing suites. Many long hours would be spent in a dark editing suite editing (and re-editing) video and audio.
Video production has always been an interest of mine. Hence I always strive to keep up with new techniques and trends.
The digital revolution has made the offline editing process immeasurably quicker, as practitioners moved from time-consuming linear (tape to tape) suites, to computer hardware and software. Witness my latest AV creation produced in it’s entirety within half a day. Whew!

Tapa Table up for grabs
I’m gifting my boardroom table to the Auckland Samoan community over Xmas.
My design studio operated out of a Ponsonby office during the 1990’s servicing mainly local and Pacific Island based clients including the Samoan Visitors Bureau and the Cook Islands Tourism Authority. The focal point of the busy studio was a large ‘Tapa Table’. I commissioned the table to be designed and built by local furniture artist John Drapper.
Specifications: Kidney shape, 4m x 1.5m on 25mm particle board, 3 removable leg columns, authentic 1 piece samoan tapa table surface, resin coated, gold marine rope trim, polynesian cherub figurines and shells from Aututaki at leg(s) base, seats 8 people.
It’s a bit kitch, but very special!
UPDATE: The Auckland based Lafitage Trust were thrilled to accept the Tapa Table. The Trust have just moved into new offices and were looking for a suitable boardroom table. Great timing!
