How do you pronounce Taupo? Last month we shot and produced a fantastic web video for GreatLakeTaupo.com, demonstrating the correct way to say Taupo (Toe-Paw). The video would be shot in one fast and furious day, covering eight locations! The 48-hour film competition was great training for this project I must say.
Destination Lake Taupo is about to launch their new brand “Great Lake Taupō.” The aim of the video is to highlight the significance of the macron sitting over the “o” in Taupo and demonstrate how the word is pronounced correctly in Maori. This short clip will potentially be passed around members of the Taupo community, sent to ex-pats offshore and potentially go viral through a range of applications.
