How we approach it

Most brand video is either overproduced (a 90-second cinematic epic no one watches) or underproduced (a shaky iPhone demo).

Video that ships across every channel.

Every video project is designed for the actual distribution plan, hero cut, social cutdowns, motion identity, thumbnail systems. Not one long file no one has time for.

Brand films

Manifesto and origin films, script, cast, direction, DoP, sound design. Cinema-quality when the brief warrants.

Product demos

Explainers and interface walkthroughs that make complex products feel obvious. Motion, screen capture, voiceover.

Campaign edits

Hero cut plus 15/30/60 second cutdowns for every channel, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, in-store.

Motion identity

Animated logo systems, transitions, lower thirds and title cards that carry the brand into every video touchpoint.

Short-form social

Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn shorts. Native to the platform, built for the algorithm, on-brand always.

Post & motion graphics

Editing, colour, sound design and motion graphics on footage you've already shot. Rescue jobs welcome.

Concept & script

Idea, script, treatment and storyboard. Signed off before a camera comes out.

Production

Cast, DoP, sound, locations and shoot management. Or straight into motion if there's no live shoot.

Edit & motion

Offline cut, motion, colour and sound design. Rolling reviews on a shared Frame.io.

"The team stays on every call. It's the reason our site works instead of just looking nice."
RvDRuben van der MerweCEO, Kaleido Afrique

Delivery & cutdowns

Hero cut plus every cutdown, aspect ratio and format your distribution plan needs.

Based in Johannesburg. Working everywhere.

Live shoots run from Johannesburg with trusted DoP crews in Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria on request. Motion-only work is fully remote.

From idea to finished film.

One team handles the whole production, so the story you agree on is the story that ends up on screen.

  • Concept and script agreed before a camera rolls
  • Shoot days planned, booked and run for you
  • Edits reviewed together on a shared timeline
  • Cut-downs for every social platform
  • Captions, music and delivery all handled

Ask us a question
How much does a brand film cost in South Africa?

Every brand film, concept, script, shoot and edit, is quoted after a short brief call. Cast, locations, motion complexity and finish all move the number. Motion-only pieces (no live shoot) are scoped and quoted the same way. Fixed price up-front.

Do you handle the whole production or just design?

Both, we can lead script-to-screen for a full brand film (concept, script, DoP, cast, shoot, edit) or work as motion design specialists finishing footage you've already produced.

Can you shoot outside Johannesburg?

Yes, we regularly shoot in Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Stellenbosch, plus international. We have trusted local DoP and crew relationships to keep travel budgets sensible.

Do you build motion identity as part of a brand system?

Yes, animated logo, transitions, lower thirds, title cards and social templates all get built as part of the brand book. So every video that ships stays on-brand.

Can you make social-first short-form content?

Yes. Instagram Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn shorts, native to the platform, cut for the algorithm, always on-brand. Retainer or per-project.
