"The change of season in Europe and North America marks the start of our production season in Africa and Indian Ocean Islands. This year will be different but, as always, our sun is warm, our locations are spectacular and top service is always our priority. 

We are very proud to release our 2020 Showreel, and some of the work that was produced at the tail end of our last season including Celio, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, and many more. Thank you to all of our incredible clients! We look forward to hosting you again this year."

"What a crazy 12 months it’s been, the best season ever followed by a global pandemic that almost broke the planet, but we are still spinning and orbiting the sun, life must go on as best we can and we remain positive that South Africa will enjoy another busy season ahead; we are ready!

Hoops had another awesome season during which we got to work with great friends and regular clients as well as a diverse range of new brands, from being helicoptered to never shot before peaks with the Swiss team from SportXX Migros, to high fashion in the city for the iconic and colourful Ellesse, to sailing yachts with Nautica Competition, to beautifully shot lifestyle for Beurer, to a whirlwind series of films for Signia Hearing, and much much more.

Here are a couple of images and films from the following productions:

• SportXX Migros with agency Jung von Matt shot by Jan Eric Euler
• Beurer Health & Wellbeing with agency Vidu shot by Magnus Winter
• Signia with Ogilvy London directed by Dougal Paterson and DOP Sacha Specker.
