NCA started with a short film shot on a phone, and the habit never left: start from the idea, then pick the cheapest honest way to make it look right. The studio in Salt River handles video production, photography and directing from first concept to final grade, so one team carries the work all the way through.
That matters for brands because video is where most campaigns are won or quietly lost. A film that feels staged gets scrolled past. A film shot by people who understand the audience, in the places the audience actually lives, gets watched, shared and remembered.
Who it is for
- Brands launching, relaunching or repositioning and needing a film that carries the story
- Companies recruiting or opening a new site who need to be seen by the right people
- Founders who want an honest, well-made account of why they exist
- Marketing teams who need a steady supply of social-first video, not a one-off
What we make
Video production & photography
01
Brand and campaign films
The hero piece that says who a brand is, built to run on its own channels and be cut down into shorter versions for social.
02
Recruitment and positioning films
Films that sell a place, a team or a branch to a specific audience, the way our work for Odity and Simply Asia (Horizon Bay) does.
03
Founder and story films
The honest version of why a business exists, told by the person who started it, the way we did for Women of Worth.
04
Social-first video
Reels, TikToks and Shorts conceived for the feed from the first frame, with hooks, pacing and captions designed for sound-off viewing.
05
Photography
Campaign, product, lifestyle and portrait photography shot in the same visual language as the film, so a campaign looks like one thing.
06
Directing and post-production
Direction on set, then edit, sound and a considered grade. Post is part of the craft here, not an afterthought handed to a stranger.
How we work
From brief to broadcast
01
Brief
We start with what has to be true by the end of the campaign, not with a format. Audience, platform, usage and budget go on the table first.
02
Concept
A written idea and treatment you can react to, with references, shot logic and a plain description of what it will cost and why.
03
Shoot
A crew sized to the idea. Cape Town locations, real people where the story calls for them, and no set dressing that fights the brand.
04
Finish and ship
Edit, sound, grade and exports for every platform the work will run on, delivered with the versions you actually need.

Positioning the Horizon Bay branch as a spot for Blouberg’s younger crowd: a brand made relatable, fun and exciting.
Brand film
FutureRent
Conceptualised and shot from scratch, away from serious and transactional, toward fun, aspirational and lifestyle-driven. A video that sells a feeling.
Founder film and relaunch campaign
Women of Worth
A founder film on why Women of Worth exists, then a full campaign that re-established the brand across its channels through launch day, and a collection series capturing the hand-made pieces.
FAQ
Questions, answered
How much does video production cost in Cape Town?
It depends on the idea, not the format. Crew size, shoot days, locations, talent, music and where the work will run all move the number, so we quote against a written brief rather than a rate. Tell us the audience, the platforms and a rough budget range and we will say what that budget can honestly deliver.
Do you handle both the shoot and the edit?
Yes. Videography, directing, post-production for video, audio and photo, and the grade are all done by the NCA team, so the person who understood the idea on set is still around when the cut is made.
Can you make video for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook as well as longer films?
Yes. Social-first video is a core part of what we make, and we plan the vertical and short versions alongside the hero film so they are designed, not just cropped afterwards.
Do you work outside Cape Town?
Cape Town is home base. For work elsewhere in South Africa or further away, put the brief in an enquiry and we will tell you plainly whether we can do it well.
Who owns the footage and where can it be used?
Where and for how long the work runs is agreed in the quote before anything is shot, so there are no surprises about usage afterwards.
