Filming Rolling Hills Farmstead

Posted by Naomi on

Sometimes, all you need is space to breathe. That’s the feeling we aimed to capture in the marketing video we created for Rolling Hills Farmstead, a tranquil retreat near the historic village of Tesselaarsdal, where the rhythm of the Overberg slows down and life feels distinctly calmer. Just 90 minutes from Cape Town and close to the beauty of Hermanus and the Hemel en Aarde Valley, this farmstead feels like a world apart — a place to unwind and reconnect with what really matters.

Two Distinct Chalets, Eco-Friendly Comfort

Rolling Hills offers two eco-friendly self-catering chalets, each with its own unique charm. Moo Meadow, inspired by the farm’s gentle Jersey cow Tessa, is a spacious two-bedroom getaway perfect for families or friends, combining rustic charm with modern comforts.

Cosy Coup, a one-bedroom, double-story chalet with a loft bedroom and balcony overlooking the valley, offers an intimate escape for couples or small families. Both chalets feature natural wood interiors, wood-burning fireplaces, private braai areas, and Kol Kol hot tubs on the decks. Off-grid and solar-powered, they strike the perfect balance between eco-conscious living and modern convenience.

A Farm That Welcomes Everyone

Rolling Hills Farmstead invites every member of the family — pets included — to enjoy its serene surroundings. Guests can stock up at the nearby farm shop, which offers snacks, wood, ice, cool drinks, a selection of premium meat, and occasional farm fresh eggs.

Find Your Pause at Rolling Hills Farmstead

Our video captures the scenic beauty from ground-based and aerial perspectives, conveying a feeling of home, comfort, and lingering peace. It reflects the relaxing pace, natural beauty, and heartfelt hospitality of Rolling Hills Farmstead, encouraging viewers to step away from the everyday, recharge, and immerse themselves in the calm of the Overberg.

Marketing Content for Guest Accommodation

It was a treat for our team to film on location here, and a delight to work with the Rolling Hills Farmstead team, as you can see in the top pic of them all together at the end of the day! Call us if you need professional videography and photography to showcase Airbnb or other guest accommodation in the Western Cape. We’ll be happy to discuss ideas and options with you.

Maracor Shop in Malmesbury

Maracor Building Material Video

Posted by Naomi on

Here at Outdoor Video & Photographic, we love working with local businesses that truly matter to their communities and contribute significantly to their clients’ lives. Filming the marketing video for Maracor Building Material was exactly that kind of project.

A Swartland Business Built on Trust and Community

For more than 25 years, Maracor has been a trusted name in construction supply across the Swartland, built on family values, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping people build their futures, brick by brick.

Bringing the Maracor Story to Life on Screen

Our objective was to capture the essence of Maracor. Using a blend of ground-based and aerial drone footage, we showcased their Malmesbury and Riebeek West stores, the nearby warehouse, and the deliveries that keep building projects moving across the region. From busy yards and fully stocked shelves to trucks coming and going, every shot was chosen to reflect reliability, scale and service.

From Foundations to Finishes

The video features the wide range of building materials that Maracor offers — from cement, reinforcing and roof trusses to plumbing supplies, doors, windows, finishes and more. Through compelling scripting, careful planning, inspired editing and clear visual storytelling, we focused on keeping the message easy to follow while highlighting the scope of their products and services.

A Video That Reflects a Trusted Partner

An effective marketing tool, the video is a reflection of Maracor’s role in the Swartland building community. Designed for use online, in-store and on social media, it reinforces their reputation as a supplier you can rely on, from the first brick to the final finish.

It was a privilege and pleasure to partner with Maracor Building Material on this project. If you’re a local business looking to tell your story through professional video production, drone footage or photography, get in touch with us. We’d love to help bring it to life.

Tribute to Dave Estment

Posted by Naomi on

It is with deep sadness that we share the recent passing of Dave Estment, my beloved husband and inimitable co-founder of our company, Outdoor Video & Photographic.

This follows a debilitating battle with physical and mental health challenges that escalated since his cochlear implant some years ago, leading to critical infection that later required its removal, inexplicable cognitive issues and an arsenal of medications that all contributed to the desperation of his condition.

Those who remember Dave’s utter fearlessness and amazing zest for life, may understand how unbearable it became for him to live with his abilities so severely compromised. He took his life, for the sake of his dignity and I believe to spare us pain.

Below is a personal tribute to Dave, if you’d like to experience his spirit and hear his voice in this short video drawn from footage he edited from a few of our countless adventures. It’s a reflection of where our business began, through our shared love for our wild, natural world, Dave’s passion for motorcycle racing, and our mutual dedication to having fun at work.

Huge thanks to so many people for the immense outpouring of love and support for Dave, me and our family. It’s profoundly heart warming and would mean so much to him. Sincere thanks also to all our associates, clients, friends, family and our team for your invaluable support.

Special shoutout to our highly skilled freelancers: videographer and editor Craig Prins, and licensed drone pilot and photographer Gareth Cairncross, who are helping me to continue Dave’s legacy with exceptional professional videography and photography.

Our OV&P team is standing by to assist if you need help to showcase your business and share your story. It would be our privilege and pleasure to create captivating visual content for you, with the trademark passion and inspiration that Dave consistently embodied.

He will be missed beyond measure and will live forever in our hearts.

 With so much love 🤍

 Naomi and Team
