Awhitia - A Breath of Fresh Air!


Awhitia (Awhi) was always one of the favorites for filming. She would give anything a burst! For the Mauri Ora introduction film and associated images, Richard and Kodie got Awhi to stand on a HUGE rock on top of Maungakawa puke (hill) in Cambridge. Not satisfied to have her just standing, they made her 'tipie-toe' and do turns. It was cold and she was just dressed in a 'flimsy' outfit but she never moaned although after 12 or so 'takes' she did start to go a different colour! The imagery however was stunning and well worth the effort.
As a mum of 7, Awhi's children were also added to KFP film and imagery stock pile.
This photo is of Awhi and her eldest daughter Tikamaiwhea (Danya) who also participated in various aspects of film-work. It can be found within the Edu-card Whakapapa for sale on the Mauri Global Site.
