ISIDINGO
Firstly, I want to thank the Production Team for thinking of me for this role ... I'm deeply HONOURED ! Ngisazoni VITHIZA !!!! *Don't translate*
BECOMING "NINA"
STYLE :
I have to give it up to the WARDROBE TEAM !!! Julie at the helm with Momo , My lady P. & Marie-Marie !! The dedication & Passion they gooi unto NINA daily ... Priceless!
They've kept her classy yet edgy with a slice of Kasi ! From her "Daddy inspired Bling" her body hugging numbers , to her high street Heels ... You can't fux with NINA GIRL !!!
MAKE UP :
When I met Amy Sprawsen, I knew it was ON ! She had already pre created NINA's look ... From NINA's eyes, to her cheek bones to her lips ... She knew what she wanted & she brought NINA to life ... The trick is maintaining this look & also advancing it according to the story... I tell you ... She's on the ball! A big Thank you to her amazing Team TEBOGO Tebza baby, she's a talented Diva of note and Lerato "wannete" on set ! You bring NINA to life on a daily basis !
With Make up and Hair Gurus AMY SPRAWSEN & DEIDRE GREEN
HAIR:
Deidre ... "D Green" my "Hair Guru" is one feisty chikita who is ALL about hair ... All kinds of hair ... !! She planned NINA's crown ages ago ... Her vision was soft curls ... So as to soften NINA a bit , keep her "Friendly" and fresh as she's finding herself ... Her allies ... At the "Deep"! I Love the "Red" streak concept as NINA's finishing touch ... This streak of RED just says ... "You "Think" you know me ... But you don't really !" Watch NINA'S story unfold through her hair... It's INSANE !!!
Her awesome team Sexy Monica aka "Mollecule" who perfects the crown unto NINA's head on a daily basis is BAWS !!!
WRITERS :
I would give my left boob just to be a fly on the wall when our writers are having their story breakdown sessions!
With Sir ROHAN leading the talented pack ... ISIDINGO is pushing that envelope !
Their writing is edgy , Risky at some points & unpredictable where needed!
I read an entire block like a book , to me, it's an intriguing DANIEL STEEL story one moment then a Shonda Rhimes "Scandal" ... then suddenly it becomes an E.L James ... All sexy & dangerous within minutes ! LOL ! Exciting ! Blood racing !
NINA's story in particular is one to follow ... She plays with your emotions & makes you FEEL all types of "Feels" ! NINA is seriously going to be defined by YOU the viewer ... & when you eventually find that "definition" ... DO SHARE !
DIRECTORS :
Oh man ... I HAVE to share this with you ! We have 4 different Directors and each one has their own vibe/vision/feel for NINA ! Now at first ... THIS drove me crazy ! I remember going home in tears as I felt I was not cracking it , not finding NINA ... coz everybody had their OWN pre created NINA ! But ... I had to work through all that & find my OWN NINA ... I had to find KHABO's NINA ! Lol *get it?*
I've now come to LOVE what each director finds in NINA! Here's a little taste just for YOU:
Kgatontle - Keeps NINA real to her Kasi roots !
Raymond - Simply Finds the truth in NINA !
Nthabi - Keeps NINA sultry , elastic & Flowing !
Darren - Goes for the Light easy side of NINA ... !
CAST :
CAST :
There is NO cast in Mzansi like the ISIDINGO cast right now ... where I feel NINA could have easily fitted so easily ... So Warmly ... Like a glove ! I'm humbled to be working with such talent ! Ofcourse I panicked at first due to their "Calibre" ... But that just made me work even harder !! Look, I'm still at it and will always be at it ... Pushing that bar ... my bar !
Pssssst... I'm also trying to charm the writers into giving me scenes with EVERY CAST MEMBER !! Lol ! Yes yes I know it should "Make sense" but Shhhh...
CREW :
Wow !! A good looking , hard working crew with a sense of humor ... My daily bread ... Match made in ISIDINGO heaven !
I will not forget NINA's very first TX (Screen debut) ! The shots ! The leg panning by "Modise" , lighting , sound , the set ... With thee most brilliant set designers and set designing team ! I'm in awe ... DAILY !!!
