Skybok People Profile: Ferial Johannes
We shot the Skybok Profile of Ferial this week – she is the WINNING designer from South Africa chosen to fly to Fashion Week Brooklyn in New York to show on the runway in June! Here are some screengrabs of our shoot in Cape Town this week. More coming, along with her Profile for Brooklyn Fashion Week!
Two Oceans Aquarium
This is Cape Town’s tourist gem, and it’s at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. It’s called “The Two Oceans Aquarium“. We had a great time filming it and we shot on a day when there was a school outing, which lent itself well to some lovely shots of the school tours. Enjoy their video profile and if you’re coming to South Africa any time soon, check out their website.
SAMREC
I’ve always had a thing for animals. Especially wild, endangered or hurt ones.
Along the coast in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, lies the “South African Marine Bird Rehabilitation and Education Centre”. It’s also known as SAMREC.
We shot their video profile for them and I just remember thinking what a beautiful home and haven the team at SAMREC has created for these birds they find washed up and hurt on PE’s beaches.
The centre’s purpose isn’t just to rescue and rehabilitate, but to also inform and educate the public through their different programs.Tour our marine rehab and education centre and experience nature through sight, sound and touch.
Die Walskipper
I personally love the sea. I love places near the water, and when they offer light meals and drinks to go with the view, I know I’ve struck gold!
“Die Walskipper” is a lovely beach bar & restaurant situated along the coast in South Africa’s Jeffrey’s Bay.
The restaurant is situated on Clapton’s Beach between Jeffreys Bay and Aston Bay where “locals” and visitors can enjoy a mouth-watering array of seafood together with other South African dishes cooked to perfection on the coals.
It’s also a great place to have as a venue for special occasions such as weddings, office functions, birthday parties, club gatherings or any group event for which catering can be pre-arranged according to your special needs.
Kalk Bay Theatre
For best viewing quality, make sure to set the viewing settings to 1080p HD by clicking on the cog at the bottom right-hand corner of the video.
This quaint 78-seater theatre located in Kalk Bay, Cape Town, was actually originally an old Dutch Reformed Church.
It was built in 1876 and is a heritage protected building.
Going there to shoot for Skybok was super – we got great weather and shooting their video didn’t take too long.
I personally love the red interior and the upstairs where patrons can eat dinner before the show.
I think it’s a super idea – dinner and a show at the same venue.
The theatre is constantly showing new and popular theatre pieces….and the idea is that patrons arrive from 6:30pm and, after reserving their theatre seats, are directed upstairs to the restaurant.
There is a set menu and the food is mainly served before the show but drinks and dessert are served after the performance.
Patrons make their way down to the theatre when the show is due to start.
Drinks may be taken into the theatre but there is no service in the theatre during the show.
We loved the owners – very friendly and professional people.
Here is their website if you’re interested in finding out more about the theatre or the shows which are currently showing there (you will also see Skybok’s logo featured on the website, directing visitors to check out their video profile, which is really nice!) —–> THE KALK BAY THEATRE

Algoa FM
For best viewing quality, make sure to set the viewing settings to 1080p HD by clicking on the cog at the bottom right-hand corner of the video.
Algoa FM is the the biggest commercial radio station from the Garden Route to the Wild Coast on 94 to 97fm.
I love the place. It’s chic & fresh and it felt rejuvenating to walk through the station filming.
We got to meet one of their most popular DJs, Lance Du Plessis, and what a fantastic guy! Easy-going and professional, he does a great job on air and has a successful reputation and a big following here in the Bay.
Everything went very smoothly on the day…. we got Lance doing his show and also some really nice shots around the station.
We didn’t get to shoot their boardroom as there was a meeting there on the day, but you can check out my blog post HERE for some snaps of it as well as some snaps I took around the station while we shot.
In my opinion everyone working there is fun-loving and hard-working.
I love the position of the station….The Boardwalk here in PE….it’a a very beautiful complex right on the beachfront. It must be a fantastic place to go to work every day! They also have a very cool website – check it out by clicking HERE.

Cape To Cuba
For best viewing quality, make sure to set the viewing settings to 1080p HD by clicking on the cog at the bottom right-hand corner of the video.
With Cuban-inspired cuisine and its famous “Che Bar”, Cape-To-Cuba is a popular restuarant to tourists and certainly to a lot of locals in Kalk Bay!
Only a 30 minute drive from Cape Town, it’s always a festive destination.
Shooting a video profile for them was an absolute delight, as their colourful interior set a very fun and vibrant tone for their video.
I loved the Cuban theme with all its decor indoors & outdoors… and I can personally vouch for their Mojitos!
Apparently Che Guevara mixed the first one ever made there himself!
“North Americans don’t understand… that our country is not just Cuba; our country is also humanity.” -Fidel Castro
It’s definitely a good place for a delicious meal or a just a total party
