  • Emir Haveric shot the new VW Passat through Grabarz & Ptn W.A GmbH. The car was shot using a rig on the city streets, and elements of the locations were used to build up modern futuristic graphic backgrounds in post-production.
  • Marc Trautmann shot Opel using foreground and middle-ground locations. The backgrounds were shot in Shanghai.
  • Jan van Endert produced the Gaggenau shoot using modern South African architecture through Ogilvy and Mather.

Cape Town Productions has been extremely productive during the winter months, updating its locations database, scouting fresh locations and negotiating favourable rates with suppliers on its clients behalf.
