We have been working with clients and producers from all over the globe. We absolutely love working on creative and unique briefs. Our years of experience have made us well known in the industry and so we are able to find some very interesting sets to present you as unique locations, they range from open-air studios, trains, and airplanes. There is a vast variety available to all local and international productions. We are able to do a small stills photo shoot as well as large films at these locations. These unique locations will definitely create a perfect setting for your production.
Booking unique and very specific locations is easy with YLO, we do all the heavy lifting for you. We have built up a great reputation in the industry and so have developed a large database of locations we have to offer. We also work with top location agencies to assure you get the desired results. Let us find you the best stills photo locations in Cape Town.
With our productions, we often work on sets as it immediately grants us the seclusion and privacy we need. Without a doubt, the set locations on offer made our selection process a smooth and easy one. It was incredibly useful to have access to a safari set without going too far out into the bush. The structures and details were professionally curated, so much so, that no one would be able to tell the difference compared to the real thing.
The beach hut set location is a must if you are working with swimwear. From the palm trees to the detail on the wooden hut, it had everything we needed for our footage to embody all of those island holiday “feels”. This produced some exceptional pieces of work.The natural light had a major role to play in this, so I would recommend liaising with the YLO team as to when in the year would be the best time to use this location. It exceeded our expectations!
We did a TVC commercial that required three different set locations with completely different looks. The benefit of using these set locations was their accessibility. They were all on the same property, so we could move our equipment and lighting with ease. This was a valuable and key factor to efficiently getting through a jammed packed task schedule. Each location was beautifully unique and had the utmost attention to detail.
The gas station set was incredibly well put together. It included every aspect of an old station. Rusty old barrels, dilapidated trucks surrounded by barren gravel roads, which most definitely added to the all round retro feel of our shoot. The inside “cafe” created the perfect space to create our catalog layout. We used vintage American muscle cars and the shoot was a huge success. Thanks you YLO.
