TYLER BELL & KANE LEHANNEUR - SAUCE STUDIO
by CAMILLA SAMPSON
CAMILLA SAMPSON: Hi boys, what have you been up to lately?
SAUCE STUDIO: Today we’re just taking it easy, the sun is out and we’re quite sore from a concert we went to last night. We finally got to see one of our all-time favourite bands, Thievery Corporation, play at The Enmore. If you don’t know Thievery Corporation I highly recommend giving them a listen. It will change your life.
CS: You work together as part of The Sauce. What, or rather who, is The Sauce?
SS: The Sauce is a group of friends creating cool stuff. Find us here: www.sauce-studio.com
CS: How did you guys first get into film and photography?
SS: We both just sort of fell into it from our family always having a camera or two lying around the house. We’d pick them up and start creating home videos and photos, and we just found we enjoyed it so much.
CS: What sort of subject matter do you document? Does the coast inspire you?
SS: For sure, the coast definitely inspires our work. I mean some of us (The Sauce team) surf every day and are constantly surrounded by it. We just love all aspects of nature. I think we take everything around us as inspiration as we are a group and all like different things.
CS: You were in Indonesia at the end of 2015, what did you get up to there?
SS: It was more of a vacation really. But I (Tyler) also edited my latest surf movie, ‘ROBI,’ there, it was a good environment to do it in.
CS: What are you working on at the moment?
SS: We are just putting the final touches on a surf movie we have been working on for the last few months about a burrito. You can find it here.
We are also planning a few new music videos, and a campaign for our friends at Mere Footwear.
CS: Highlights of your careers so far…?
SS: Sitting sideways on a private jet.
CS: A dream location/person/subject…?
SS: The Simpsons.
CS: What are you doing when you’re not working?
SS: We enjoy most things in the sun like surfing, skateboarding, and the occasional bushwalk.
CS: Which other Sydney-siders/coast dwellers inspire you?
SS: We have lots of friends doing creative things. For us it is important to have people like that around you.
CS: Secret, or creative, or secret creative…passions besides film and photography?
SS: The fine art of making a gourmet pizza.
CS: And finally - any tips for aspiring video/photo-graphers?
SS: Do what you love and what makes you happy. If that results in making things you are stoked on then everything else will fall into place.
CS: Link us up?!
