Atlas Studios provides studio space for a range of South African soapies, commercials, game shows and sitcoms, in addition to offering an ideal location for specialist events. Since 2002, the studios which were originally designed for Anant Singh s soap opera The Res for SABC, have been pivotal in the production of some noteworthy South African TV shows, such as Villa Rosa, Coconuts and City Ses la.
The excitement is building with the latest announcement that KykNet s new soapie, Getroud Met Rugby, a South African version of the UK s Footballer s Wives, has moved into Studio 1 and 2. The show originally developed by Deon Opperman as a drama series and a film, is now being adapted into a soap opera that will air every week night from April 2016, as entertainment for the whole family. Initially, the show was shot on location but the team have now moved into studio.
The studios central location and essential facilities such as accessibility, all support accommodation, catering area, 24-hour security, backup power 350kva generator and onsite parking enables productions to happen seamlessly.
The versatility of the four studios allows for efficient and independent use of space in front of and behind the camera to cater to the specific requirements of the production. There are two adjacent, interlinked sound stages (440 m2 and 460 m2) ideally suited for drama and sitcoms and is now the new home to Getroud Met Rugby. Studio 3 (320 m2) used for commercials and game shows, is currently booked for the year.
Studio 4 is a 270 m2 daylight studio with a mezzanine, which can accommodate commercials, screenings and shoots and is currently hosting the 4th season of popular dance show Stumbo Stomp. It is available on a daily rental as a specialised event space that can host industry related public meetings, launches, training sessions and presentations.
The entire space is ideal for nurturing and supporting the creative industry and encouraging a greater awareness on film. Atlas Studios extends its social involvement by hosting monthly film screenings, for the benefit of those interested or involved in the television and film industry.
The First Wednesday s Film Club which is now in its 11th year of screenings, is a collaboration between Atlas Studios, Akin Omotoso and Katarina Hedren, aimed at showcasing local and international independent films. The directors are often in attendance and Q&A sessions follow the screening. This platform provides opportunities for education and interaction, highlights the importance of film, and creates a networking space for those within the industry. Audience development is also encouraged to enable local audiences to appreciate local talent and films.
Atlas Studios welcomes Overberg Productions and the entire team of Getroud Met Rugby to their new home.
