Foxy Bingo

Meet Foxy, the FoxyBingo.com mascot who was here in January shooting a commercial for the UK gaming site.  His face is so well known that two British women who spotted him on the beach in Clifton reportedly ‘nearly died’.  His fame has been compared to the likes of Robbie Williams!

This 90kg fox suit houses advanced animatronics, he can wiggle his ears, nose and mouth and can only see through the lens of a fibreoptic camera sitting in his nose.  A second suit housing water pipes to cool down the occupant sits underneath this one, but shooting on one of our typical summer days meant a true test of its cooling powers.  Needless to say it did not provide much comfort to the unfortunate inhabitant!

Shot by Uncle Morris, a new production company owned by Steven St Arnaud, at the fabulous Nelson’s Eye, watch the TVC here:

A Shoprite Christmas 2011

This TVC for Shoprite was shot at an old favourite location, Broadacres by Wishbones.  The classic Constantia home provided the perfect backdrop for all the vastly different rooms as well as the outdoor patio.

Monday Madness, by Wishbones

This latest SPUR commercial, produced by Wishbones, was shot at classic Constantia home Mary Poppins.  The shower was actually built from scratch and shot in the driveway:

 

Share Your Golden Christmas at Groeneweide

One of our old favourites, ‘Groeneweide‘ was bedecked with fairy lights and a Christmas atmosphere for the latest Ferrero Rocher TVC ‘Share Your Golden Christmas’.  Here’s the advert and a few snaps of the location itself in daylight.  We think you’ll agree that it makes for the perfect ‘Ambassador’s Residence’!

LivingSocial: Hidden Gems by AFS

Another fresh and fun spot facilitated by Africa Film Services using a few cool spaces in the Mother City.  See if you recognise Cape to Cuba (Kalk Bay) and Zip Zap Circus.  My favourite part is the fully-clothed water-skiing!

The World in One Location

This General Electric spot for Healthymagination, shot by Africa Film Services, is a fantastic example of the diversity and versatility of Cape Town and South Africa as a shoot destination.  Shot entirely in S.A.  You’d never have guessed, right…

Local is Lekker: Hansa Pilsener

Plank Films and Lowe Bull conceptualised and produced this local Hansa advert.  Shot between the Camps Bay strip and a location in Somerset West (Eagles), they bring back the nation’s favourite beer drinker, Vuyo (of Vuyo’s Wors fame of course!)
