We shoot once.
Deliver across
every screen.

TVCs, brand films and adverts shot in Cape Town, and the reel, short and TikTok cuts that follow them, built into the same brief. One accountable team on set, one delivery package out the other end.

Selected work

18 recent productions.
Latest first, live from the channel.

What we run

Concept to delivery. Cut-downs included.

Pre-production

Concept, treatment, storyboard, casting, location scouting, permits, crew shape, kit list, call sheet. Decisions get made before they're expensive.

On set

Direction, camera, lighting, sound, grip and on-set production. One day, one accountable lead, one number to call when the weather turns.

Post

Edit, sound design, grade, sound mix, motion graphics and VFX where the brief needs it. In-house or paired with our specialist partners.

Deliverables

Broadcast and cinema masters. Channel-native cut-downs for Reels, Shorts, TikTok and the rest. Subtitles, captions, accessibility passes.

Social-first thinking

9:16 frames in the can on the day, not faked in post a month later. The shoot is designed from the start with the cut-downs in mind.

Stills cross-over

Stills team on the same shoot day where the brief needs both. One production, both pipelines, no asset-handoff drama.

Why the same shoot

Most brands buy the TVC once, then pay again to cut it for social. We run both ends.

The shoot is designed from the start with the cut-downs in mind. 9:16 frames are in the can on the day, not faked in post a month later. Audio is captured with social formats in mind. B-roll is shot knowing the reel will need it.

And the social team is on the same engagement, so the moment the edit locks they know what's coming, how to caption it, when to schedule it. No vendor-to-vendor handoff. No re-briefing what's already obvious to anyone who was on set.

When to brief us

Briefs we actually want.

  • You're shooting a TVC or brand film and want the social cuts handled on the same brief.
  • Your last shoot ended up with the social agency frantically re-editing rushes they weren't briefed on.
  • You need a Cape Town production house that can scale from a one-day brand film to a multi-week campaign.
  • You want the same shoot day to feed your reels calendar for the next three months.
  • You're tired of paying twice for the deliverables, once to the production house, again to the social shop.

Brief in hand?

Send the treatment, the deck, or just the rough idea. We come back inside a business day with a read on how we'd shoot it, what it would take to deliver across every channel you need, and a number.
