Mnr & Mej Durbie preview

The month of April was once again the time of year when the annual Mr en Miss Durbie from Durbanville High School are being held and the 30 finalists show off their best in front of the excited crowds. The audience went crazy at the top performers on stage. A lot of effort and time has been spent to make this prestigious Durbie event a success. Interested students can purchase the full event on DVD at the school and enjoy the show. Herewith a little preview. Thanks to Willem Foster who helped film this event. Similiar video work can be seen here.

Ollie le Roux tells us about BHR

I had the privilege to work on this project with Fuller Insight, interviewing ex – Springbok rugby strongman – Ollie le Roux. He chatted to us about his operations he had done on both hips, using Smith & Nephew’s state of the art BHR technology. We travelled to the heart of the Free State and filmed in Durbanville to get him to tell us more in between his operations. The BHR has truly changed his life and the video interview will show you why.

Durbanville Matric Farewell Trailer

October was the month for the Durbanville Matric Farewell event. We video documented this event so that the matrics can re-live this evening of fun, joy, and goodbyes. If a school decides to treat their matriculants with such a treat, they might just as well hire a professional team to create a video that people would actually watch a few times in the years to come. It is great to have photos of such an event, but a matric farewell trailer is the cherry on the cake for the students.

Enjoy this event video preview of this stylish and glamorous evening where the matrics had a ball of a time with their fellow peers.

Herewith another clip of their Mnr en Mej Durbie event.

Wedding Video – Omar & Katherine

Sometimes the most wonderful things happen unexpectedly. The wedding video we did for this couple was a last minute booking, but looking at how the footage turned out, it must have been meant to be.
Katherine and Omar got married at the magnificent Cavalli Estate near Stellenbosch. This venue provided all the ingredients to create the magical backdrop for their perfect wedding; a luxury restaurant, the stillness of the wine lands and a vast lawn where the guests mingled and relaxed.

When we were filming this beautiful couple during the sunset, everything just fell into place. The light, the mood, the landscape, it was all brought together by this profoundly inspiring love.

Thanks to Willem Foster who helped film this event.

COUNTRY WEDDING {Video Shoot}

The creative team of Yellow Papaya invited us to participate in their Lifestyle shoot. The shoot with the theme ‘Country wedding’ was made possible by the collaboration a vast team of service providers, ranging from artisan cold meats, organic veggies, jewellery and flowers to handcrafted ceramics.

All the elements for this shoot were sourced from local suppliers. It was such a pleasure to see how everything came together on the day. The atmosphere was relaxed, the romantic scenery perfect for the theme and somehow none of us really felt like we were working.

Have a look at the original blog post where you’ll find the stunning photographs that were taken on the day.

Cape Town Groom Shoot

A beautiful bride, an abundance of flowers, an idyllic wine farm – we’re all very familiar with this picture. This time we decided to cover a different angle and got up close and personal with the modern urban groom. Have a peak at how this contemporary gentleman gets ready for the big event. Because it’s not just the bride that takes pride in her appearance!  This exciting day was organised by Yolande Snyders from YSP who took the beautifull pictures below our video and the styling was done by Simone from  Yellow Papaya. We also want to thank Bloke’s Hair, Milame Handmade Design and Second Time Around for their support with the shoot. Watch the video and see for yourself!

Zandberg Suiderland Plase

Zandberg Citrus Landgoed video

Suiderland Plase is committed to a sustainable land reform process by assisting emerging farmers to acquire vital business experience through a structured mentoring programme. Zandberg symbolises the essence of what empowerment really means. In partnership with the AgriSeta and training provided by Operational Process Improvements (OPI), Suiderland Plase have ensured that these workers attain their entitlement to land in a responsible and sustainable manner.

True empowerment is not about giving land to farm on – it is about acquiring the knowledge and skills to run an economic viable business in a sustainable manner.

With this in mind, beneficiaries enrolled on the New Venture Creation Learnership sponsored by the AgriSeta and conducted by the accredited training provider, Operational Process Improvement (OPI).

What better way to tell this story than with a documentary promotional video that combines visuals, sound and emotion to tell this story of hope and opportunity.

Watch this video clip to hear what the Western Cape Minister of Agriculture and the people of Zandberg and Suiderland have to say and see what true empowerment is all about…

Bodyography @ Elizabeth Galloway Fashion Show

It was once again time for the annual Elizabeth Galloway Graduate Fashion Show where the students had the opportunity to showcase their talent on the catwalk. We were invited by the Bodyography team, who are responsible for the make-up at the event, to come and film all the action that takes place behind the scenes at the fashion show and how they go about making the pretty girls look even prettier. Willem Foster, from willemfosterphotography.co.za, assisted with the video. Enjoy!
