These are venues and outdoor areas around Cape Town where we actively encourage creative content and engagement.
For some we have video plates available – ‘blank’ films that can be downloaded for use by animators or greenscreeners. Others are perfect to visit in person to create a short video.

This calm body of water makes for a great stroll between the city and the Waterfront. Its backdrops include the city, the mountain, Signal Hill, and the old cannons of the historic Battery. Then there’s the beautiful reflective water, the skate park, the wide sweeping stairs, the bridges, the fountains… it’s a hundred stages in one.
Nando’s on Kloof St in Gardens not only has a ceramic tile installation on its outside wall, but it also has a large stoep that could easily host a performer or two. Fire up that creativity…

The East City district of Cape Town has seen a renaissance over the last few years. Divided from the rest of the city by Parliament and Company Gardens, it boasts some impressive architecture – both historic and modern – and is home to some of the hippest spots in town. We wanted to see what’s behind some of the lesser known doors…
The sculptural swing bridge at the Waterfront connects the Quays district with the Clocktower district, both of which have numerous points of interest, and offer a variety of backdrops to budding content creators.
