Dictaphone Blues | Lantern One of the first music videos the FowlFace team created. This was made on the tightest of budgets during my final year at the NZ Broadcasting School in 2008 for Auckland Indie-pop gem “Dictaphone Blues”. Shot on beautiful 16mm film and graded at Park Road Post in Wellington. Thanks to all involved and to Ed for being so patient!

Mali Mali | Magnetic NorthThe most recent music video for FowlFace productions. We teamed up with Mali Mali again to create something weird and unnerving for their beautiful song - “Magnetic North”. Highlights were filming inside a perfectly retro 70s bach that required so little set dressing due to it being so stuck in the past!  Concept: Ben Tolich and Daniel FowlerProducer: Kate Goodwin Steadycam Operator: Joe Lawry D.O.P: Nick Burridge Camera Operator: Nathan Mckinnon Focus Pullers: Alex Campbell, Ben Firman Make up: Nicole PringleProd Mgr: Morgan Richie Art Direction: Mandy DedekindLead Actor: Jonathan RankinExtras: Natalie, Kelsey, Alice, Morgan, Molly, MandyData Management: Halcyon Digital | http://www.halcyondigital.co.nz/Colourist: Jonathan Guest Driver: Neil Tolich
Farah Loux | K.I.D.S. New Zealand Alt-Folk band Farah Loux asked FowlFace to produce this wonderful ode to medieval roleplaying on a very tight budget. Great fun was had all around creating this video.

Two Cartoons | Best Coast One of my favourite videos to direct so far. Dunedin band “Two Cartoons” asked FowlFace to produce a video for their first single “Best Coast”. They wanted bright colours, children and summer fun. This is what we dreamed up for them :) Thanks to all involved in the making of this!Producer: Belinda PflaumDirector: Daniel FowlerDoP: Kirk PflaumDA: Daniel WatsonGaffer/Lighting/Grip: Andy DeanBest Boy: Nick JacksonCamera Assistant: Lisa CushingMake Up/Stylist/Wardrobe: Julie ClarkEditor/VFX/Colourist: motion@danwatson.co.nzBehind the Scenes/EPK: Josh Grey and James HillThank you so much to the Mattson Family; Rob and Vynnie, Domonic, Caleb and Jasmine you were amazing, thank you for your patience and understanding! Catering: Grace and Graeme FowlerSet design and construction: Graeme FowlerPretty Country Girl: Annalise TExtras: Jono Scott, Shannon S, Rachael PThank you Andy Dean and your family for all your skills, property, amenities and cameo! 
Documentary | Bring Back The George This was one of our favourite news pieces to shoot so far - the infamous “Georgie Pie” documentary. “Georgie Pie” was a unique New Zealand fast food chain running a roaring trade back in 1990s when all of a sudden it closed it doors for good. What was behind this sudden death of treasured family restaurant?  Why do New Zealanders have such an affiliation with pies, especially Georgie Pie? Not hamburgers, pizza or chicken, pasta or fine dining - pies! Mince, mince and cheese, steak and cheese and even the odd dessert pie :) Producer/Director: Gareth ThorneDP: Daniel FowlerPresenter: Drew ChappellResearch: Gareth ThorneEditor: Shaun FullardGFX: Isaac SpeddingSound: Hamish Thorne
Mali Mali | Song For The Sun This video we shot recently for Auckland artist Mali Mali around the beautiful seaside area of Mangawhai - just a couple hours drive north of Auckland. With just a small cast/crew we managed to create something quite simple yet emotionally in line with the music. The great dunes area is a mere 1 and a 1/2 hours walk from the nearest car park, sounds easy - but when you are carrying a giant led rope, it proves to be a bit harder. There were a few risky moments up the top of the sand dunes where high winds were threatening the camera gear and lenses. Luckily we managed to secure the shots we needed without too much sand in the equipment and return before we died of thirst/starvation. Concept: Ben Tolich and Daniel FowlerUnit: Alice Crowe
Tom Lark | All Night Long Tom Lark’s “All Night Long” was the first video I ever created for him. Once again using a skeleton crew we filmed in various weekends in the outskirts of Auckland in an area I used to live called Paremoremo. We made the most of the unique landscape and the Bee suits we found hanging in our friends old shed.
Lydia Cole | Love and Loss and Love My latest work and also one of my favourites at the moment, this was shot on the most beautiful land out in South Head for Lydia Cole’s song Love & Loss & Love. Working closely with Lydia on this one, we were able to plan a variety of shots that matched the raw emotion of such an incredibly heart felt song. I must say a special thanks to Noel and Janet Higham who let us roam free on their enormous and incredible farm land. Thank you for lending us your vehicles to get around for location to location, Thank you for opening up your home and for shifting that magical dingy! Thank you to Mark and Serena for remaining so positive throughout your Easter holiday time eeek.
