We were given the opportunity to cover the production and post production of the music event ‘SNOWTUNES’ down in Jindabyne. Some crazy performances with insane pyrotechnics which made the crowd go loony.
We got the job done and hit the slopes the following day.

The week of the Bondi Vans Bowlarama turns the Beach Road Hotel into a frenzy.
Masters of the sport sell their vinyl collection while skateboarders queue across the mini ramp, trading off to the sounds of the bands close by.
Velvet sea was asked to cover the performances on stage and in the bowl.
For todays #VSHAPPYMONDAY we’re doing a shout out to one of the best. Henrik Purienne, we take a bow.
Still being relatively new to NYC, the thought of shooting fashion on rooftops and the yellow cab is still a fancy feature, so when Katherine got in touch to shoot, my rooftop in Brooklyn was the first thing that popped into my head. One of our mates from B_Space on Mulberry St, Nolita sorted us…
Kiki is blonde, super fit and very shy when sober, one of those stories where first impressions can be very deceiving.
For todays #VSHAPPYMONDAY we’re doing a shout out to one of our favorite Aussie photographers Akila Berjaoui and her amazing celebration of the female form.
In the spirit of Easter we’ve decided to post one of the people with the nicest souls we know.
Back in 2012 a very hungover Cassandra rocked up on my doorstep on a sunny Sunday morning willing to have a crack at her first photo shoot. All I had laying around the place were some my random clothes and Velvet Sea tee’s. The rolling is the result of a few hours of Cass, random clothing and good tunes.
Hope you enjoy it;

Velvet Sea was given the privelege of producing a music video for the band ‘ The Bungalows’.
The creative freedom to conceptualise from scratch makes the mind run wild with different ideas, decisions and COLOURS.

This week, #VSSOUNDS comes from Mark E with his album, Product Of Industry on Ghostly International’s Spectral Sound imprint. It’s a chugging, industrial sounding house album that pulls inspiration from the industrial rise and fall of the UK’s West Midlands. Made on almost entirely analogue equipment, the album invokes the raw and rough edges of…
#VSSOUNDS this week, comes from Joey Anderson with his full length, After Forever. It’s a deep, hypnotic, ride through the nether regions of House and Techno. Other-wordly synth and piano work compliment his raw, swinging beats and rough edged samples. After Forever is a phenomenal debut album and shows how well Joey’s style takes to…
Riley Blakeway has just dropped a new short film. The film explores the subject of creativity and is narrated by Warren Smith. Shot around Warren’s Downtown LA Warehouse, the film is an epic piece of cinematography and touches on a human trait that we all feel deeply.

We love a DIY attitude here at Velvet Sea. It’s what we were built on and live by. This clip by young south coast up-and-comer, Louis Gillick is pure DIY fun and those waves, wow.

#VSSOUNDS this week comes from Darkside, an amazing group comprised of the un-faultable minimalist, Nicolas Jaar and guitarist Dave Harrington. As Darkside, they create smoky, mesmerizing tracks that truly take you away to another place.
There’s just something about the way Dillon Perillo surfs. In our opinion, he’s a modern day Tom Curren. The same smooth, drawn out lines, with a fresh twist. Anyway, enough talk, watch the clip and see for yourself. Short, sharp and punchy!

Runamuk Visuals constantly, and consistently, pump out quality goods and this is no different. No bullshit, quality art and production from some absolute legends in the Australian surf and art community.

To use their words, “Nti Sheeto (Knee-sheet-o) is a surf film illustrating the contrast between the psychedelic and magical natural wonders of Indonesia with the surreal and demented trappings of it’s darker nighttime street culture.”. It’s superbly directed by Dion Agius and shot and cut by Blake Myers. If you haven’t seen this film yet,…

Pleasure to watch.

Wollongong based artist, Trait Cross is somewhat of an enigma. Type “Trait Cross Art” into Google and, besides his Tumblr page, you won’t find much, which in this day and age is quite refreshing.

Our first AM/PM episode with OXBLVD was a short and sweet glimpse into the warmup for their gig at the Beresford. A preview if you will. This one, episode 2, is longer, beefier and will no doubt get you dancing, or at the very least head nodding. They are a well oiled live act now…

Thank you for making my Fridays such a splendorous day and for kick starting my weekend.

An ongoing series of session based surfs filmed in one day. This feature is Michael Spencer and this neat little edit was done by Nicholas Damen. Check out his website HERE.
This session was all filmed with a Canon 7D using a 400mm L series lens & a 50mm f1.8 lens.
It’s almost common knowledge that most surfers spend around a year to film a section for a film. Many a surf thrown away with no clips to show because of over surfing for the camera. Well, preconceptions can now be squashed with this edit by Nick Damen from one surf with Ryan Callinan. It was…
