New video shot during NABX & Pre-event 2012

Hey Guys & Gals,

I've just finished a new video that I thought you might like to see.

Navaro - on Vimeo

Here's the write up from Vimeo:

Time certainly does fly! It feels like only yesterday that I was tramping around the Mojave with my camera for the first time, and yet, here I am, just finishing an edit from my second trip out there!

I was lucky enough to be asked back to NABX 2012 to celebrate their 10th anniversary and to do some filming with Flexifoil - who are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year.

This year the Flexi team were testing out their new and improved kite buggy, the Navaro. I shadowed the team as they put the new buggy through its paces. This little film is the result.

When I wasn't filming I spent my time catching up with old friends, making new ones, and enjoying the clean winds and endless freedom of the desert. It's a hard life.

My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who helped in the making of this film: the Flexi crew for their endless patience, as I asked them to buggy through dust clouds, just, one, more, time; Anthony at Flexi for giving me the opportunity; Dean Jordan for his enthusiasm and support; Mark Esper for his sage advice, and finally Lenka Chludová for expanding my world by introducing me to the music of KiloWatts.

KiloWatts has been the soundtrack to my winter. I first heard his music in December 2011, and I've been hooked ever since. I won't try to describe his soundscapes, I wouldn't do them justice - all you need to know is the track in this edit is "Close The Door" from the EP "Phone Home", and that you should buy it, right now:


KiloWatts music


$7 gets you some of the best electronica you'll ever hear, and I guarantee that you'll want to hear more...

WOW! That was such a sweet video, it was easy to forget I was watching an ad for a new buggy, which also looks pretty sweet! Great job, Kieron. Thanks!

ditto Bobs comment. That sure is'nt some home video of the boys banging arround the desert. Flexifoil should be pretty happy with that! Allways enjoy seeing your work!
