Hi, I am the Grrrl… and I am Mr Sakitumi (Ladies first [-_-]). Together we are Mr Sakitumi & the Grrrl. We love tickling your retinas and cuddling your ears, and especially like to make you smile through our art. We are creators, live performers and world travelers with our quirky combination of visuals and music. We entertain with our personal art from the heart all the way through to animating and sounddesigning the commercial playground. Welcome to our Site, we hope you enjoy your stay. There are warm towels on the rail and a chocolate on the pillow.
This is me playing a bunch of instruments, writing and recording a track from scratch, but filming as each part gets recorded. It’s my first video experiment of this kind. I shot and edited it myself. Ableton Live was used for both the audio and the video editing I wouldn’t call this a music video, it’s more a video of music being made. Here is Franklinstein….it’s Aliiiiive!!
The brief was quite simple: kids playing and a meaningful message at the end of it. I just happened to have bought a ukulele the day before this briefing. Coincidence – I THINK NOT… the instrument led the pace of the playfulness of the entire piece and I was able to flex more orchestral skills deeper in. Playful and Epic – it’s what I do best.
A little video mashup created in Ableton Live and a fitting chorus
Sean was asked to adapt the pop hit “funky town” from the eighties to be played on glasses. spent the day banging on tabletops, clinking and tapping away… super fun
I was given Posters designed by Anthony Burrill and asked to translate them into motion so I conceptualised a range of stop motion animations incorporating his design into a fun feel good call to action for Do It Day. Thank you Alexis Roberts and the amazing team that came together and gave so freely of their energy and time for a great cause.
This fantastically funfilled Campaign was directed by the great Jason Xenopolous. Eugenie, Editor from Priest, and myself worked closely together to get the unique animations to really fit the edit and overall styling. This campaign went on to win Gold and Silver Loerie Awards for the Team and the Jupiter Drawing Room Cape Town
The soccerfever gripped us tight; we spent every night vjing for the great bands on display at the FIFA Fanpark in the centre of the city. The majestic Table Mountain as an ever-changing glamorous backdrop. Thank you to the fearless team of vjs and camera people braving the vuvuzela toting masses, also huge thanks to The Storyboy for this edit and the
fabulous motion graphics
A fun stop motion project for the intro sequence for a local Television Show. I collaborated with the great MochoLoco for the handcrafted paper artwork, much more fun than clicking a mouse : )

We created all visual content for the night of the launch of Red Bull Mobile in SA. This 3 minute video was created together with Wicked Pixels and was played as the main launch moment of the night also featuring Faithless and Goldfish performing live at the Turbine Hall in Johannesburg. SayThankYou composed the music for this launch video played across 5 screens surrounding the audience in the Industrial chic venue
I conceptualised and designed all motion graphics for this commercial for Mediclinic. As always it is great to work with the Jupiter Drawing Room team and the amazing director Jeana Theron/
