What we've done!
Interview on the line
The management and directors of Volkswagen of South Africa have an annual Management Conference.
Imágio Productions was commissioned to produce video content for a number of presentations. This involved shooting a variety of content, from cars, production facilities, training and interviews to illustrate operations and programmes underway at the plant in Uitenhage, the marketing offices in Midrand and at some dealerships in Gauteng.
One of the projects required that 28 managers be interviewed for feedback on a number of Leadership Programmes that they had experienced. Another was to highlight a number of empowerment initiatives that have been embarked upon by the company, to the benefit of staff and motor dealers.
Volkswagen of South Africa are also having a positive effect on the South African automotive industry with their local content initiative which has seen a number of component suppliers building facilities in the region. This has resulted in over R 1 Billion in supplier investment.

Audi R8
We decided to go and see what the Charity Network Lunch at the Cape Town Fish Market was all about.
Kathleen was kind enough to tell us all about the lunch, in aid of Reach for a Dream, and about the people there.
The kids were really excited about the prospect of experiencing the awesome Audi R8 that was there courtesy of Tavcor Audi.
The food was great, the vibe was good and the event well organized. The only problem that I had was that I did not win one of the lucky draw prizes, but such is life.
Miss PE - Nobathembu Gali
This is the third year that we have worked on the MIss PE Gala.
We provided all the graphics and video for this glittering annual event. This included repackaging sponsor video material, creating sponsor video and graphics, using photographs of the finalists, to be used at the event.
Miss PE is not a beauty pageant but a pageant with a purpose. Each year one young lady is chosen from the multitude of entries to represent Port Elizabeth. She essentially becomes the face of Port Elizabeth for the year of her rein.
The pageant also has strong ties to various charity organizations with each finalist paired up to represent a particular charity and assist in raising funds for that charity.
This year's Miss PE, Nono, will be furthering the causes of the Khayalethu Youth Care Centre
Prof. van der Walt at work
This is the most recent medical workshop that we have done, and the second with Prof. van der Walt.
These workshops are set up in such a way that a large audience can gain the full benefit of being "in theatre" with surgeons that are leading their field. Not only do the participants get to see and hear everything during the procedure, but they also have the ability to ask questions while the surgeon is operating on the patient.
The largest one that we undertook was for the Gastro Conference held in Port Elizabeth during August 2006 where about 150 delegates were able to watch three gastric bypass procedures.
The Good News Church - King Williams Town
Imágio Productions provided all the equipment and personnel, in conjunction with Magnetic Storm®, for the DSTV broadcast of Billy Nel's (MEC Provincial Treasury) budget speech.
Due to the upgrading and refurbishment of the Eastern Cape Legislature building this sitting of the house was held at the Good News Church.
This venue was actually better suited to a broadcast and the staff at the church were really fantastic.
Style Force 2007
A regional model and fashion design competition held annually in Port Elizabeth. This is a collaboration between the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (Fashion Design Department) and the Weekend Post.
This has led to the almagmation of two major events on the PE social and academic calendar, namely Faces of the Future, a model hunt competition, and the annual NMMU Fashion Department fashion show to showcase the young talent being produced.
In addition to creating all the supporting graphics, model and designer bio's and sponsor video material repackaging, we provided a live multi-camera production for the gala finale. This was used for live screen projection during the event and for recording thereof.
