Musiekvideos word deesdae vervang met DVD's. Een van die mense betrokke by die maak van hiervan is oud-SAUK regiseur ORG POTGIETER en sy seun, LOURENS wat lesers sal onthou as die nimlike kinderakteur in die rol van Robbie in Jan Engelen se SEEDUIKER. Lourens het sy talente voor die kamera omgeswaai na werk op filmstelle en veral as kameraman en in eenheidsbestuur.
Org het in sy tyd by die SAUK meer as 100 musiekvideos gemaak waarvan die jongeres onder ons miskien die Lappop, Die Dappermuis en Eensame Krokodil die beste onthou.
Org en Lourens van Spektrum Produksies het saam met Carike Keuzenkamp (van Zyl) en Boet Pretorius van BMG 'n drietal DVD's die lig laat sien wat kinders van Suid-Afrika se harte gesteel het en wat Oupa's en Ouma's verwelkom want nou weet hulle wat om vir verjaardag-en Kersgeskenke te koop.
Die jongste DVD, Kinderland het reeds meer as vyfduisend eksemplare verkoop.
"Sangers het 'n hupstootjie nodig om hulle CD's te laat verkoop en laat dan 'n video of DVD maak om uit te saai op TV", verduidelik Org.
Hy werk die afgelope sewe jaar op sy eie en maak korporatiewe videos, dokumentere programmme en vind selfs tyd om as oud koerantman te skryf en te redigeer.
Current customers include web-sites, government departments, South African media such as Media24 and private individuals.
He learnt his trade as a member of the SA Navy's Media and Publications section and has been a team member since 1997. He has also gained vast experience as a freelance production assistant on various TV commercials and features and filmed a marketing programme for the Namibian government and an Aids-awareness programme for Metropolitan Life.
