Lourens Potgieter cameraman /video operator, director of photography, learnt his trade as a member of the SA Navy's Media and Publications section and has been a Spektrum team member since 1997. He has also gained vast experience as a freelance production assistant on various TV commercials and features and has recently worked for
, the Banking ombudsman, filmed a marketing program for the Namibian government and an Aids-awareness program for Metropolitan Life.
As a child actor, playing in series such as Seeduiker and Arende since he was nine years old, he turned around as an adult to face the viewfinder rather than the lens of the camera. He was schooled in Drama and Art, and this proves to be an excellent backup for his decision to rather work on the production side of the craft. This decision was much to the obvious disappointment of his avid fans.
Not only is he deft with clay, building beautiful ceramic pots, but he can fix almost anything - form the huge engines of a submarine, a bus, motor bike, a motor car or a fine piece of jewelry. He can also drive any bus or a truck, having qualified for up to code 14 license.
