Strijdom discovered a beautiful setting for this work on a grassy hill in an area on the outskirts of town where we had not filmed before: the reeds set off against the clear sky, and the mountain backdrop framing the piece perfectly. What a canvas on which to paint with materials from nature. Technically, it’s the day before the start of winter in Stellenbosch, but as Strijdom correctly pointed out while we were reviewing our cell phone recce pictures of the location beforehand: it looks like Sound of Music.
