WHAT WE DO
Full-Service Visual Production for South African Brands & Artists
One team, zero handoffs. From the first concept call to the final export, Hype Media SA handles video, photography, and creative design under one roof in Pretoria — so your project never gets lost between agencies.
Most production companies hand you off between departments — a videographer here, an editor there, a separate studio for stills. We don’t work that way. Every Hype Media project is run by the same core team from brief to delivery, which means fewer miscommunications, faster turnarounds, and a final product that actually looks like one coherent piece of work.
Below is a breakdown of what we offer, what’s typically included, and a realistic starting price for each — so you can budget before you even pick up the phone. Every quote is confirmed in writing before we start, and all prices exclude VAT.

HOW IT WORKS
A Closer Look at Our 3 Most-Requested Services
Event Coverage
Whether it’s a corporate gala, product launch, or cultural festival \u2014 our team captures the energy, the moments, and the story. Multi-camera setups, highlight reels, and full raw footage packages available. We’ve covered events for ACFE, IFC, GASA, Kulcha Sundaze, and more.
Brand Films & Commercials
Brand work is strategy-first. Before we shoot anything, we ask what the film needs to achieve — awareness, conversions, or brand trust — and build the script and shot list around that goal. We shoot on location or in-studio, then cut versions optimised for each platform you’ll run it on (a 60-second hero cut plus 15-second social edits, for example). Typical turnaround is 1–2 weeks from final shoot day.
Video Editing & Post-Production
Already have footage from your own camera, a drone operator, or an older shoot? Send it our way. We handle colour correction and grading, motion graphics and titles, sound design and mix, and deliver broadcast-ready files in 3–7 business days — without the cost of a full production.
