FOPtv trailer
A trailer to a little Afrikaans-something-something we made back in 2006.
Episodes comming up.
‘Nader’ - Choir-step
One of Jamie’s awesomest mixes. He bought some wicked chaos pad with even wickeder knoppies.
Here’s how he describes it on his blog:
‘Here I tried to explore the “post dubstep” genre. Ja, I know it sounds lame, but it’s a thing. It’s a more chilled out kind of dubstep, like the “eyes on fire” remix. Thanks for Carel Kleynhans for the music and the idea. (Your welcome to the project files if you want to try something) The original was sang by Stellenbosch University Choir.’

United Colors of Avantgods
As part of our social awaredness, we created a series of posters depicting world leaders lip locking to promote love, peace and our own name.
Unfortunately the Catholic church made a public appeal towards the poster, cause seeing Helen Zille kissing Malema is just gross. The black policeman in the back agrees with this.
Concept: The Pretorius brothers
Photoshop: Christiaan Pretorius
Making small change - Nedbank Savvy video
Each morning at the Avantgods’ offices we complain about the guilt trips we’re put on by street beggars. That’s why, last year we started the Small Change Begging Board Charity Project. This year we’ve revived it. This time though, we’re asking you to send some charity our way - in the form of votes.
We made this 1min video: https://apps.facebook.com/nedbanksavvy/contests/104121/voteable_entries/35831269 and we need your votes to win a trip to New York. So click on the link and vote for us every day.

This video was made while we were still in school.
It’s pretty bad, and that’s why we love it. And hotmail? Really?
Car Guarded - Short film finalist
When I think of Car Guards, Nietzsche’s comes to mind: “Beggars! Truly it is annoying to give to them and annoying not to give to them”.
Well, we made a 3min 59sec thriller film about Car Guards and now, like beggars, we humbly ask you for any spare clicks or loose votes…ma’ bozzie.

Got Dafi?
Like flies to a carcass, so are the days of our lives and Avantgods jokes to famous dead guys. Got Dafi?
Asplashin - Vodacom ad by Avantgods
We won the Vodacom Color shortfilm competition with this nifty 18second video.
Ya, you might say we gave in to The Man, but man, The Man was such a man that he, in all his manlyness rewarded us with enough money to purchase a jigga-sweet-under-fuckin-water-GoPro-camera. Sche—zam!
PS: the men who ran the competition weren’t men, they were women.
Attitude t-shirt’s, oh the iron(y).
Please all you people who lack any form of wit,
it is not to be bought on the front of a t-shirt.
No one gives a hoot about
how large your breast/manhood/bank account is,
how drunk you were or whether or not you are a naughty girl.
As a general rule whatever your shirt professes you possess
is in actual fact the opposite of the truth.
Grow a f#ck*ng personality.
