See all Show me
These boys and girls are from Rorkys Drift. Thats close to Isandlwana in KwazuluNatal South Africa where the English with guns and canons lost from the Zulu's with spears. Prins Charles and Diana used to come here also. All filmed with Sony V1E, microphone Tomrig system with DPA. First part from tripod second part to get more action handheld. Notice also the subjective shot where the Zulu fights with the lens!

    It is so fascinating to see other cultures and their rituals. Please keep posting videos like these.

    Well done.

    Thank You so much Blake, we would love to tell Vimeo lovers, where we met fascinating cultures, worldwide scenic locations. Believe me, these people love to be on internet, they know it will increase visitors (tourists) and income. We hope to meet you in New York.

    As dumb and irrational as this sounds, you might want to put in your description NSFW (Not Safe For Work). I started to watch this on my lunch break and I knocked my coffee cup over spilling it all over my desk in a knee-jerk reaction reaching for the mouse to turn it off.

    I'll catch your good work at home.
  • Rodger Richardson 3 months ago
    NSFW is not really appropriate in this case, as this is the Zulu culture. Breasts are seen as a means of sustenance for babies and not as a sexual. It is only our western culture that has turned it into a dirty thing.
    Education is power, pass it on

    I couldn't agree more. But many corporate environment's will not see the camera work, editing technique, culture or Art in this. All they will see is exposed bodies and suddenly your butt will be in human resources and hopefully your boss be there trying to save your job. Corrective action will be forthcoming and vimeo would be blocked by the company's HTTP proxy sever. So without a heads up on sensitive content, I guess I can only risk watching content on vimeo at home.

    I am new here and this is the first video I watched. If the quality of most videos here are represented by just this one piece, then I am hooked. Keep up the good work and I hope you continue posting subjects that help breakdown cultural barriers.

    The clever thing about this video is the sound editing and the insert, nice job Jan.
