Press release for Collective Films:
Greg Francois leaves a lasting impression for Brother SA’s latest TV spot

Greg Francois of Collective Films pushes the boundaries of believability as a wake boarder carves a
masterpiece into the surface of a lake in Brother SA’s latest television campaign.

One does not generally associate office printers and fax machines with fast-paced wake-boarding stunts,
but that is exactly what agency Black Khaki Advertising conceptualised for the first ever local commercial
for Brother SA, manufacturer of high-end office equipment.

Greg translated Brother Internationals strategy of leaving a lasting impression, into an elegant yet edgy
commercial, pushing the limits as to how close, above, around and even below he could get a 35mm camera
to the action. These camera platforms included an inflatable mount towed at high speed (anxious moments
for the grip who accompanied it!), and a chopper which raced literally a meter above and behind a
somersaulting wake-boarder.

Shot at one of South Africa’s most breathtaking locations, the Theewaterskloof Dam near Franschhoek,
the production team were blessed with the most glorious weather in a region that is known as wind
alley. The mirrored surface allowed two of SA’s top wake-boarding pro’s, Andrew Bourne and Nick
Burton-Moore to perform spectacular stunts equal to the best in the world.

“Greg’s treatment and attention to detail, and Collective Film’s unbridled enthusiasm and desire to
produce this commercial, certainly matched ours,” says Trevor Delaney, CD of Black Khaki Advertising.
“I clearly remember telling Greg that I was looking for mesmerising filmic beauty and he said “You’ll get it!”.
Even watching the footage on the playback monitor during the shoot, I knew they had delivered on their
promise. The quality, slickness, beauty and grandness of the production epitomises everything about
the Brother brand.”

The end result is a commercial combining exquisite scenery and impressive stunts that
all leave a lasting impression.

The Mother City played host to the 2008 SA Open Wakeboard Championship from the 26th to 27th of April 2008 at the
Milnerton Aquatic Club. Organisers had their hands full with regard to weather and hopes of squeezing the last bit of
summer from Rietvlei over the weekend were high. In the city made famous by Robben Island and Table Mountain,
Shaun Faccio added to his notoriety of his competitive career by winning his first Open title, while his sister Gina
showed us just why she is such a dominant force in ladies wakeboarding.

The top-two seeded riders, Morgan Krause and his brother Clayton bowed out before the comp started. The former
had an injury, whilst the latter departed days before for the US Pro Tour. The expectations were high and an air of
excitement beckoned as we were guaranteed of a new Open champion.

Shaun Faccio ended his season on a high - riding in unstoppable form throughout the contest and while he was
pressed in the six-man final by Nick Burton-Moore, he relied on his characteristically good form by displaying awesome
technical precision. He rode almost flawlessly in his final run, to win the Pro men’s division. Nick Burton-Moore and
Devon Nassif finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Nick Bensch was also looking for his first title in the Open Men’s division, but Jono Joseph, the current National champion,
took advantage of his opponents’ errors on the water and displayed his own magical skills by walking away with the
Open Men’s division title. The Masters division saw newcomer Justin Selby narrowly beating Darryn Ridgway.

Gina Faccio proved to be a serious competitor in the Ladies division by beating fellow competitor Deidre van Niekerk,
thus winning her 5th Ladies SA Open title.

Bryan Loggenberg upset defending champ Dean Engela to win the Junior Men’s division. Dylan Mitchell, Cape Town
favourite, not only beat Ryan Durham to win the Boys division, but also dashed the hopes of Moritz Grunter winning the Wakeskate division and staking a claim to the “wakeskater-to-beat” title in the future.
