New Zealand Production Hub rocks Morningside
Well…they did it. The Morningside Hub teamed up some of New Zealand’s top musicians with amazing projected graphics, film and photography, and arranged delicious food, cocktails, wine and beer to give us an unforgettable show on Friday evening.
The white dome of VnC cocktails and the aromatic smells of Langos Hungarian Bread greeted guests accompanied with sounds from The Calico Brothers from the stage. As the sun glowing on the art deco building in Morningside disappeared, the projections placed inside and outside the building started revealing film footage put together by Automatic Films director Greg Woods and shots by Collective Force photographers. The 9 separate performances organised by Native Tongue Music Publishing and Arch Hill Recordings elicited more applause from the growing crowd which Don McGlashan drew closer to the stage prior to the Drab Doo Riffs rocking the party towards the end of the evening.
All the companies involved, which also included Our Production Team and DMG, were chuffed with the event. ‘It’s hard to find much that we could have done differently’ says Christina Force, ‘the ambience was so lovely and we had the perfect mix of people from music, advertising, design and film industries and some awesome sponsors. Special thanks also go to Ripe Delicatessen and Sacred Hill Wine.’
Stop Motion footage was shot from 9am on the day of the party and up until dark. Links to clips from this will be uploaded later in the week.

Looking forward to seeing the nice photos taken by the CF photographers that were there. Lots of cameras I seem to remember. – these early on snaps don’t do it justice at all…saw one amazing shot of the shot of The Drab Doo Riffs performance Are you going to put them up somewhere Christina? Fantastic event. Next year please!
Yes – I’m sure I recall there being cameras everywhere? Wasn’t there a cyc set up and all? Love to know where the rest end up. A terrific night it was…
Thanks guys, it was a brilliant night.
It was great to see you there too Anonymous. You weren’t early so nasty in person.
And if you want to see the outstanding Drab Doo Riff’s again – they’ll be playing the Kings Arms in Auckland this afternoon ( Sunday) as part of a benefit for late Straightjacket Fit bassist David Wood’s young family – starts at 1pm, $5 gets you an afternoon of great music and lovely people.
Flash photos please CF, or it didn’t happen. 🙂
