Die StorieSoos die titel 'Liefling' reeds verklap, is hierdie 'n liefdesverhaal wat vertel word, deur gebruik te maak van bekende en geliefde Afrikaanse musiek van so ver terug as die 70's tot nou!Hierdie musiekfliek draai hoofsaaklik om die lewe van Liefling Marais, 'n meisie met 'n passie vir die lewe en 'n neus vir avontuur! Liefling bly op 'n plaas saam met pa Simon, ma Linda, broer Kobus, oupa Karel en Katy, die huishoudster en vertroueling. Pa Simon is 'n professor by die universiteit en in sy klas ontmoet ons die drie trawante en boesemvriende, Jan, Pieter en Gert. Die seuns is ook Hartbeespoorters en Jan woon by sy Ouma, Elsa Ferreira. Die storie skop af in 'n Desember vakansie. Rykmansdogter, Melanie von Staden, het haar oog ferm gerig op die aantreklike Jan Ferreira, wat weer sy oog op Liefling het. Die noodlot bring verliefdes, vriende, en sogenaamde vyande onverwags bymekaar. Hierdie is 'n liefdesverhaal vol trane en lag, musiek en dans.

Produksie
Paul Kruger
Paul Krüger - Executive Producer / DOPPaul Krüger started his camera career in 1990 and not long after that joined the SABC. In 1996 he decided to go freelance as camera operator and DOP and started his own company, Eschol Video Productions. During the past 19 years Paul established himself in the world of producing and directing of different TV programmes and documentaries. Hartiwood Films was born in 2006 and we were one of the first companies to import the RED ONE camera from America. Because of this, Paul could go a step further in the producing of different projects. Because of the RED ONE and the excellent post-production facilities at Hartiwood Films, we are ready to do pioneers work in the film industry in South Africa.Working with RED is a whole new Camera Game. We were very fortunate to shoot the whole film on RED! Red Pro-Primes lenses Set was used, picture quality was outstanding and it gave you that true cinematic experience. We tried to use natural light where we could! And just filled in where necessary, hardly any tungsten light where used and only hmis and daylight florescent. On the big choreographic dance scenes 2 REDS where used as well as a 10 meter JIB operated by Johan Strydom and Sean King. We decided to shoot the small scenes with a jib arm which made it easy to move around but still gave us that slight movement which was required for our shooting style. Sound engineer was Leon Rivas. We were uncertain about the Reds Quality on sound, we decided to record on a separate sound track which could be used for post sync, but which we did not use at all. The whole film was shot on location 4 months prior to the actual shoot schedule, with a P2 camera and just the core crew standing in as actors. This gave us a good indication how things would go in terms of location choices, lighting setups, shot planning, as well as durations.

Regisseur's Nota
Die Regisseur's NotaMet watter maatstaf meet mens wat n goeie musikale film maak? 'n Afrikaanse "musiekfliek" daarby gesê? Boonop die eerste een in dertig jaar...Watse bestanddele gaan daarin? Met hoeveel inspanning roer mens die pot? Hoe lank laat mens die mengsel prut en wanneer dit opgedis word, wat is die perfekte tafel om dit op te bedien en watter blomme sal dit net reg komplimenteer? Hierdie is sommige van die vrae wat ek aan myself gestel het toe ek die projek die eerste keer benader het.Daar was bitter min raad of vernuf in Suid Afrika te vind oor die onderwerp, 'n land waarin die musiekfliek genre ietwat van 'n raaisel is, ook vanwee die feit dat die mees onlangse musiekflieks hier vervaardig, "Sing vir die Harlekyn" en "Sarafina" was. Nadat ek Amerikaanse musiekflieks, stok oues en ook van die baie nuwes wat meer onlangs gemaak is gekyk en bestudeer het en daaruit inspirasie ontgin het, het ek my blik na binne gedraai en na die mense in my nadere nabyheid...my famielie en vriende: regte, egte Afrikaners, 'n klompie baster Rooinekke en 'n paar Joodse, Ierse en Oostenrykse pelle wie almal 'n liefde, verwantskap en aantrekking met die Afrikaanse bewussyn koester. Wat wil hierdie mense graag sien en hoor, maar op die ou end...wat sal my Ma van hou?Toe ek die antwoorde tot hierdie vrae gevind het, het dit my lewe baie makliker gemaak toe ek en die span deur die magdom Afrikaanse gewilde liedjies vanaf 1910 tot en met die hede toe deurgeploeg het. Nadat al die verkore liedjies gemeet, geweeg en goed gevind is, het ons 'n storielyn in en om hierdie liedjies geweef wat die storie van ons sorgelose en gelukkige hoof karakter Liefling, die beste vertel het! Dit was 'n heerlike ervaring om haar sagtheid, haar helder gees en haar oorgang tussen verlief raak en uiteindelike selfkennis en vrouwees vas te vang.Ek was baie bevoorreg dat ek kon staat maak op 'n vreeslose tegniese span. Elke individu en departement het my werk soveel makliker gemaak deur die geweldige talent, inisiatief, inspirasie, energie en passie wat elkeen aan die dag gelê het. Ek respekteer en bewonder hulle almal, veral musiek-regisseur Johan Heystek en choreograaf Raymond Theart. Albei het my soveel van musiek geleer!My grootste genot was om saam met 'n yslike geselskap (uiters vreesaanjaend aan die begin) merkwaardige en unieke akteurs te werk. Dit was ongelooflik om te sien hoe hulle werk en hul alles gee onder die druk van tydsbeperkings, uiterste weerstoestande, uitdagende rekwisiete en kostuums en terselfdertyd te sing en te dans asof hul lewens daarvan afhang! Hulle het hulle skitterend van hul taak gekwyt. Alhoewel dit vir my baie stresvol was aan die stuur van die skip "Liefling, die Movie", het ek gelyktydig nog nooit so baie en lekker op 'n stel gelag nie! Die suiwer fokus en daaglikse dryfkrag waarmee ons toegewyde span hierdie nederig en eenvoudige "voel-goed" storie op die beste manier moontlik vertel het, het my geraak. Ek hoop "Liefling" bied gehore pret, ontvlugting, betowering, nostalgie en 'n hele nuwe intrige met die Afrikaanse taal, gepraat of gesing!Brian Webber Regisseur
