Groot Constantia

November 20, 2013October 15, 2020By The Starlit Path No Comments

Ok so one of my favourite wine farms of all time is “Groot Constantia Wine Estate“. It’s located in the Constantia Valley in Cape Town, South Africa.

I like it so much that I requested it when I shot my Top Billing interview with Janez. – click HERE to read more about that interview and HERE to see the photos from it.

What a pleasure shooting Groot Constantia’s official video profile for Skybok. Here’s putting in a word for Grant Newton, its Marketing Director – absolute legend. The entire estate is a national heritage site and fully operational wine farm.

The shoot was smooth and the weather was perfect. Did you know that it’s one of Cape Town’s “Big 6″? – Fellow members are Table Mountain, The V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Cape Point. It’s won over 36 gold medals over the last 10 years in various wine excellence competitions… Now that’s impressive!

Great place to have a function. Watch their video and see what all the fuss is about! For more photos Skybok took on the day, click HERE.

The Artscape

November 19, 2013October 15, 2020By The Starlit Path No Comments

The Artscape Theatre Centre in Cape Town, South Africa, belongs to the provincial administration and was opened on 19 May 1971 as the “Nico Malan Theatre Centre”.

It was renamed to “Artscape” in March 2001. Shooting their official video profile for Skybok was an honour!

I personally love the Artscape and I try go see as many shows as possible there. Not to mention that I love meeting all these fantastic people behind-the-scenes who are involved in keeping everything running smoothly!

Editing for hours on end and recording all the voice overs becomes so worthwhile when the final product in done and I watch the profile of whatever venue I am busy with… whether it’s a wine farm, golf estate, nightclub, restaurant, coffee shop, hotel, school, resort or this – a theatre, as well as a point of interest, thanks to it’s huge role in the history of the Western Cape.

A big smile spreads across my face when I know I’ve done a venue justice. One of those instances was when I completed The Artscape. Thank you to everyone there for being professional, efficient and co-operative as we all collaborated to make this happen.

Yokhuselo Haven For Abused Women

November 19, 2013October 15, 2020By The Starlit Path No Comments

Yokhuselo Haven for Abused Women exists to offer women and their children a safe haven from family violence. Located at 12 Prospect Hill in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, their Crisis Centre has helped thousands of abused women over the pat 25 years.

We filmed this video profile for them in honour of the 25 year anniversay. It’s slightly more unusual than other profiles we’ve done as it features interviews with the abused and with the volunteers.

We also captured some prominent faces in the local Algoa Bay community saying a few words of thanks and congrats to the haven for all the work they’ve done over the past 25 years.

It was very moving filming & editing it. I hope that this video will help raise their profile in South Africa, as well as awareness that abuse is a real issue in the region. And that – thanks to them – there’s somewhere to turn for those suffering from it. Thank you Yokhuselo for all the good work you do!

Doubell Machines

We shot this video profile of Doubell Machines during a gorgeous, sunny day! They are located on the corner of Albany & Frederick Roads in North End, Port Elizabeth, South Africa. We managed to capture the real essence of the factory and some of the work that’s done there on a daily basis.

I love how the reds and blues pop in this video, especially against the white of the showroom. We filmed this on a CANON 5D MK2 and the quality of some of the shots which show the welding and cutting are just sublime. I never thought I’d get so excited by filming brick-making machinery!

Doubell Machines & Equipment are the manufacturers & exporters of brick-making & block-making machinery as well as allied equipment. For many years now, Doubell Machines have been prominent & an integral part of South Africa in the helping of community upliftment & social improvement by empowering disadvantaged people to empower themselves.

Located along Victoria Road in trendy Camps Bay, Cape Town, lies perhaps one of the most famous beach bars in the city. “Café Caprice” is a stunning spot along the beachfront if you want a drink or meal with friends and colleagues.

Caprice has become a landmark establishment on the famous Camps Bay Stretch in Cape Town – a great venue to host any function you have in mind.

(Be warned, Sunday nights get very busy!) Tourists from around the globe rub shoulders with the regular local clientele, all enjoying the gorgeous beach backdrop whilst sipping on eye-catching cocktails and listening to sexy, chilled beats spun by the resident DJ’s as the sun goes down.

The ultimate beach bar and café on Cape Town’s famous Camps Bay stretch, it’s home to a cosmopolitan crowd of locals and internationals 7 days a week.

We were thrilled to shoot their video profile, and filmed it on a very festive, sunny Summer afternoon. Enjoy!

In the heart of 6th avenue Walmer, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, lies a popular restaurant on the PE scene, “Mangiamo”.

They are probably most well-known for their pizzas which have gourmet toppings like carpaccio and preserved fig on delicate, crispy-edged bases.

I certainly wasn’t disappointed with my delicious pizza the night we shot – which went down well with a wine from a list of over 50 that can be ordered by the glass! The sumptuous shabby-chic décor is the perfect fit for this stately old Walmer home. We had so much fun filming this on a very festive evening, enjoy!

Physical address: 50 Sixth Ave, Walmer, Port Elizabeth

Cuisine: Contemporary, Fusion, Italian, South African

Dinner: 6pm– close, Tuesday to Saturday

The Bay Hotel

Located along the beachfront in Cape Town, South Africa, The Bay Hotel is one of Cape Town’s top hotels which prides itself on sterling service while offering its guests a wide range of facilities and stunning views.

Renowned as a haven for romantics, leisure is its catchword, from rejuvenating spa treatments to the convenience of a heavenly deli, unique cocktail bar and beachfront café. I personally loved their cigar lounge and bar with its cool atmosphere and breathtaking views.

In fact, it’s a super venue to host functions and parties. You can celebrate these special events at the intimate “Celebration Table” or “Private Deck” overlooking a sapphire sea. They have fully-equipped meeting and events venues which are available to suit every occasion, including the historic “Rotunda” ballroom for glittering parties and flawless weddings.

The Bay Hotel is superbly designed with only 78 rooms and suites offering 5-star luxury in an unsurpassed setting. No less than four hotel pools with expansive sun decks offer superlative views of the Atlantic Ocean and majestic Lion’s Head.

“The Grand” is a lovely chic brand of beach cafes in Cape Town, South Africa. If you are visiting this city, you should really go check them out for a gorgeous meal overlooking the water. They are especially great for venues to host parties & functions or even for business meetings. Although they have venues in both Portugal & in Zimbabwe, in Cape Town, they have two. These are namely, “The Grand Cafe and Rooms” in Camps Bay & “The Grand Cafe & Beach” in Granger Bay, also along the coastline.

We were simply delighted to travel to the Constantia countryside in Cape Town, South Africa, to shoot this video profile for Eagles’ Nest Wine Estate! It’s such a pretty location with excellent wines.

Eagles’ Nest is cradled in a secluded valley high up on the slopes of the historic Constantia mountain range, which forms part of the World Heritage Site, Table Mountain.

I absolutely love beautiful cars, it’s my weakness! So it’s no surprise that shooting this video profile for them was a dream. Enjoy! And you can also see it on their website here.
