Nahum Goldmann Fellowship 34
For the Nahum Goldmann Fellowship 34 in Stellenbosch, Aardt Studio provided dedicated cinematography on location. Commissioned abroad by the project coordinator and video editor Ben Youngerman, we handled the full technical foundation of the on-location shoot: crafting the lighting design, operating cameras throughout the programme, capturing audio, and shaping the visual language of all indoor and outdoor events and interviews.
Our approach went beyond the technical. We engaged closely with the Fellowship’s purpose, its themes, and the individuals driving the discussions, capturing each moment in a way that reflected the event’s rhythm and atmosphere. The final visuals convey a coherent narrative that allows the story of the gathering to unfold naturally.
While Aardt Studio offers complete production capabilities, in this case we were brought in as a specialist technical unit within the larger creative team. For NGF34, we worked in this focused role, delivering polished, high-quality cinematography designed to integrate seamlessly into the Fellowship’s wider vision.
Ramko Packaging hosted an exclusive client exhibition in Devon Valley, Stellenbosch, where they presented their packaging range to invited guests and industry partners.
Our brief was to document the event through both photography and videography while creating a set of marketing assets that would continue to deliver value long after the exhibition concluded.
The project included capturing the exhibition environment, guest interactions, and detailed product imagery. In addition to documenting the event, we were tasked with producing content that could support Ramko’s sales and marketing efforts across digital platforms.
Our team arrived early to take advantage of the natural morning light, allowing us to capture both photo and video content of the packaging products before guests arrived.
During the event, we documented the atmosphere, client engagement, and product showcases. The goal was to capture both the energy of the exhibition and the craftsmanship of the packaging on display.
We also filmed a guided walkthrough video featuring Ramko Packaging’s owner, Christian Rank. In the video, he presents the full packaging range and explains the variety of solutions offered. This created a valuable sales and marketing asset that Ramko can use to introduce their product range to prospective clients beyond the event.
Ramko’s showroom has limited space and cannot display their full packaging range at once. After the exhibition, we photographed a selection of packaging samples in our studio. These images are now used in Ramko’s catalogues and showroom to showcase a broader range of their products.
Event Reel
To extend the impact of the exhibition beyond the event day, we created a dynamic event reel for Ramko’s social media platforms.
The reel captures the exhibition environment, guest interactions, and product highlights. It allows those who could not attend to experience the atmosphere of the event while giving attendees a polished recap.
The goal was to create a shareable marketing asset that reinforces Ramko’s brand presence and showcases the success of the exhibition.
Product Reel
We produced a dedicated product reel focused on the packaging showcased during the exhibition as well.
The reel highlights the craftsmanship, variety, and practical applications of Ramko’s packaging solutions. Rather than presenting the entire catalogue, the reel offers a strong snapshot of the quality and versatility of their products.
