CASE STUDY: THE GAUTRAIN
Velvet was the only official film company responsible for capturing and telling the many stories along the way. As custodians of the Gautrain footage, from the onset, we recommended filming at the highest quality and chose the Red One Camera, offering cinematic 4K resolution, to ensure all the footage would be available into the future for potential film projects and international television channels, to give the Gautrain the exposure it deserves.
We provided a turnkey solution in terms of filming, editing, archiving and creating monthly content for Gautain tv keeping the public abreast of progress. Many films were individually commissioned, eg, the first, original film, “Phambili Gautrain Phambili” communicated the vision and benefits the Gautrain would bring to people.
We provided creative visual content for their many events over the years and the launch of the Gautrain in June 2010, saw us creating content for 7 huge screens, requiring separate edits, integrated into one story. This contributed to the wonderful impact and success of the event.
We were commissioned to produce the 1 hour History Documentary Film “From Dreams to Reality”, designed to share this wonderful story with the world.
Over five years, we provided an ongoing turnkey video project, producing weekly updates for the public, event content, culminating in a documentary film, showcasing the construction and history of The Gautrain.
DOCUMENTARY
We filmed and documented the construction of The Gautrain Infrastructure Project from the turning of the first sod, to the public launch.
AUDIO PRODUCTION
We recorded and produced the audio messages in several languages, across The Gautrain platforms and in-train systems.
