Video that connects
We plan, film and deliver corporate video people actually watch - interviews, brand films, events and everything in between.
Video is the fastest way to make people feel something about your business - and the easiest thing to overcomplicate.
We keep corporate video production simple: one team that plans, shoots, edits and delivers, so you get professional content without the production circus.
Trusted by business schools, corporates and event teams across South Africa.
The best corporate videos aren't a list of facts. They're a rollercoaster - and we build the ride before we film a frame.
See what we mean.
You need us if…
Your last video project took three months, five meetings - and still missed the point.
There's a conference, graduation or launch coming - and no one to capture it properly.
Your people freeze the moment a camera comes out.
You know you need video. You just don't have time to run the project.
Find your exact need in five seconds.

TSIBA Graduation
The brief was one line: make people feel the day. We shot it like a film, not a record.
Great videos only need a few minutes of your people's time.
The rest is on us.
Plan it.
We lock the brief, script and shot list before a camera leaves the bag.
We've worked with some industry-leading brands.
If they can trust us, you can too.
“It made me almost cry. I had goosebumps when I saw the celebration of the graduation ceremony.”
On the TSIBA graduation film
Need a controlled space?
Our Pinelands studio is a done-for-you corporate and content studio - green screen, teleprompter, sound-treated, with our crew running it. You bring the message. We handle the rest.
Questions we usually get.
What does it cost?
Honestly: it depends entirely on scale. A studio interview and a three-camera conference aren't the same project. What we can promise is a straight number, fast - and if your budget is fixed, say so upfront. We'd rather shape a project around a real number than send you a quote that wastes both our time.
What makes a video cost less?
Preparation, mostly. If you arrive knowing what you want to say, who's saying it, and what content already exists, we're shooting instead of discovering. And if we film fifty minutes of someone talking, someone has to find the good three - that can be us, or it can be you. Some clients hand us the timecodes. That's a real saving.
Do you own the raw footage?
This depends on what you hire us for. If you book us to shoot only, the footage is yours - we hand it over and you're done. If we shoot and edit, the raw material and project files stay with us, because they're the working parts of a piece we built. You own the finished video outright, forever, to use wherever you like. If you want everything, tell us before we start and we'll price it that way.
Retainer or once-off?
Both work. But if you know you'll need video more than a few times a year, a retainer almost always works out cheaper per video - the planning, the setup, the getting-to-know-your-brand part only happens once. Once-off suits a single event or launch. We'll tell you which one you actually need, even if it's the smaller number.
Do you travel?
Yes. Cape Town is home, and we've filmed in Johannesburg and Durban plenty of times. Anywhere in South Africa is on the table - travel just gets built into the plan upfront, so it's never a surprise line on an invoice.
Can you help with the script?
That's our favourite part. Most clients arrive with a rough idea and a nervous exec. We shape it into something filmable - and if there's no script at all, just a voiceover and a vague sense of the message, we can build the whole thing from scratch. That's a bigger job, but it's a job we like.
How long does a video take?
Most corporate video runs two to three weeks from brief to final cut. Event edits can move faster. Tell us your deadline and we'll tell you honestly whether it's doable - we'd rather say no than deliver something rushed with our name on it.
Why the tech obsession?
Because half of us are engineers. Metisware builds software and infrastructure as well as video, which means when the stream drops, the file corrupts, or the venue's network is held together with hope, we've usually already solved it. Nice pictures are the easy part.
Metisware also builds software, runs hybrid events and handles IT infrastructure for the hospitality industry.
