Brand film, stills and aerial
South Africa ยท Est. 2012
Cinematic video production, photography & wedding films across South Africa
Brand campaigns, tourism films, events, weddings and licensed aerial work, shot with intent, cut with restraint, delivered on the date agreed.
Who we are
A South African production company telling meaningful stories in cinematic pictures, for brands, organisations and couples.
Founded by Brett Geel: thirteen years behind the camera, and a relaxed, collaborative way of working that survives contact with a real shoot day.
Corporate, commercial, tourism, events, documentary, weddings, aerial. Different briefs, same standard, anywhere in South Africa.
What we do
Ten disciplines, one production.
Most projects need more than one. Book them together: one crew, one look, deliverables that actually match.
- 01 Corporate Video Production Brand films, culture pieces, internal comms and campaign content for businesses and organisations that need to explain themselves clearly.
- 02 Commercial Content Advertising and promotional work built for a specific channel and a specific audience, delivered in every cut and ratio the campaign needs.
- 03 Event Coverage Conferences, festivals, launches and activations covered as they happen, with fast-turnaround edits when the marketing team needs them the same week.
- 04 Tourism & Hospitality Content Property and destination films that sell the feeling of a place, shot around light and season rather than a facilities checklist.
- 05 Wedding Videography Cinematic wedding films shot unobtrusively, with properly recorded vows and speeches and an edit that plays like a memory.
- 06 Corporate Interviews Testimonials, leadership pieces and case-study interviews, set up so the person in front of the camera sounds like themselves.
- 07 Drone Cinematography Aerial work flown under a SACAA RPAS Operator Certificate (ROC): legal, insured, and used as part of a story, not as a showreel.
- 08 Freelance Video Editing Edit, grade and delivery for agencies and producers working from their own footage, including social cutdowns and versioning.
- 09 Corporate Photography Headshots, workplace, product and event stills, captured alongside film work so the whole set shares one look.
- 10 Fashion Photography Lookbook, campaign and editorial photography for brands, designers and agencies, on location or in studio.
Weddings
Films you'll watch more than once.
Unobtrusive on the day, cinematic on screen. Vows recorded properly, and an edit that plays like memory, not coverage.
Wedding films & pricing
Drone & aerial
Aerials that serve the story.
SACAA-licensed drone cinematography, flown legally, insured properly, and cut into the story rather than pasted on top.
Aerial work & complianceIn their words
PLACEHOLDER: replace with a real client quote. Two or three sentences works best: what the job was, what Brett was like to work with, and what the content did for them.
PLACEHOLDER: replace with a real client quote. Shorter quotes read well next to a longer one, so aim for variety across the three.
PLACEHOLDER: replace with a real client quote. Mentioning turnaround or reliability is useful here, since that is what corporate buyers are actually worried about.
