AT SKINNY FILMS WE DO MORE THAN JUST PRODUCTION
We keep the communication lines clear and simple! We talk straight….and we deliver on brief, on budget and on schedule, every-time!
It’s no secret that today’s film and production landscape is becoming evermore challenging to navigate effectively. Along with elevated client expectations, challenging budgets and tighter schedules; it takes savvy production to deliver projects on time and on budget; be it a one-day commercial, a high-end fashion stills shoot, digital content for multiple platforms, or an eight week feature film. We love filmmaking and our 25+ years of combined experience equips us with the knowledge, skills and confidence that exceptional filmmaking demands.
It’s our belief that each project brings its own set of unique challenges and requirements and, with this understanding, we don’t apply a “one size fits all“ approach to our projects.
Having produced throughout South Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, we’ve ventured through a multitude of terrains and built an extensive network of professional contacts in all fields along the way.
We pride ourselves on our proven ability to provide innovative production solutions that not only answer, but exceed your creative requirements and expectations.
OUR PEDIGREE
Anton’s lateral, sometimes out-of-the-box thinking culminates in a “can do” approach to solving challenging and complex production issues – however, whenever and wherever they occur.
Having started out as a Copywriter for Y&R in the mid eighties, it didn’t take long for me to realize that I yearned to be more involved in the overall, big picture of the creative process. This precipitated a move into Agency production with experience and invaluable insight gained into the production needs of large international and national brands.
Then the call came offering the opportunity to jump the fence from Agency to Production Company. The next three years were spent learning from some of the original masters of commercials and feature production in South Africa at the time.
1993 saw the opening of One Step Beyond, the company going on to be recognized as one of the pioneers of the then emerging service industry in Cape Town.
The following twenty years were spent producing and servicing international clients from around the globe and whilst based in Cape Town, saw productions throughout Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, as well as in Italy and Dubai.
2013 heralded the formation of Skinny Films, an organic evolution of One Step Beyond, offering a wider range of content production services, ranging from commercials and online digital content to TV series and feature films.
So, from shooting in deserts, jungles, cities and on stages – from up in the air, to underwater and everything in between, the passion for resolving complex production challenges remains my driving force.
