Kagiso’s Island of Treasure Episode 08: The Legend, Pt 1

Let’s face it. The thing most people know about Jamaica is that it’s where Bob Marley is from. Well, that and something-something about a little known “traditional remedy”. Either way, it’s good to see Kagiso finally touch base with the legend by visiting the Bob Marley Museum. Although he may be getting a bit too big-headed, hm?

There probably isn’t anyone anywhere who hasn’t heard of Bob Marley, but if there is, I’m going to change all that. Me and my team head to the Bob Marley Museum to shed some light on the history of reggae and show off my skills as a serious documentarian. What could possibly go wrong?

Kagiso’s Island of Treasure Episode 07: Yohan Blake

You’ve seen all the episode of Kagiso’s Island of Treasure so far, but this is the one we’re most proud of. For this very special extra-length episode, we managed to secure an interview with Olympic medalist Yohan Blake. This guy is the second-fastest man in the world, training alongside Usain Bolt! What makes this especially great is that Kagiso doesn’t hold back in this completely unscripted interview with Blake. It’s awesome!

The last sport I played involved a Ping-Pong ball and a plastic cup, but today Rosina’s taken me to a local sports club to meet one of the world’s greatest athletes: Yohan Blake. He may run fast, but let’s see how he does when he’s in the hot seat with me?

Kagiso’s Island of Treasure Episode 06: The Cook-Off

Ever since I got to Jamaica, I’ve been hearing about this “jerk” chicken stuff. Apparently it’s some kind of spicy dish. Rosina’s taking me to Grill 71 to try it out. I doubt it’ll come close to the stuff my mum makes at home.

Baz & Stretch get to Ibiza in our latest Super M animation

The latest in our series of Super M animations featuring Baz & Stretch is online today. As always, our illustration/animation team is really working hard to push the quality of these videos with each one they produce. There’s some awesome illustration here from Kyle Baillie, great work from our animator Andre Ackermann, and more crazy voicework from Bevan Cullinan.

The pirate’s appearance in the previous video had us in stitches even at the script stage, and considering what we were aiming to communicate in this video, he seemed like the right guy to make a return appearance. Part of what we’re building here with Baz & Stretch is a world for the Super M brand to play with, so chances are you’ll see a few other recurring characters pop up here & there as we move forward. This video’s the last one in our ‘M is for Music’ campaign, but the overarching ‘M is for Me’ work with the brand continues, and so you can expect more Baz & Stretch very, very soon.

Ever heard of a singer named Tessanne Chin? Well she’s one of Jamaica’s best known musical talents… you know, right after Bob Marley and those other guys. She’s never been put to the test by someone with my animal keen hearing though. Let’s see what she knows.

Kagiso’s Island of Treasure Episode 04: The Dancer

Rosina likes to call herself a dancer so today she’s decided to take me to her studio and show me a few moves. This woman doesn’t realize I’m from Africa. We basically invented dance. Wait till I show her some of my moves.
