Newsletter: January 2008 We would like to thank our loyal clientele for their professional business relationships and ongoing support for the last couple of years such as the Royal Bafokeng Nation, seda, Productivity SA and ABI. It is associations like these that enabled us to become a credited enterprise over the last 5 years. We have also broken new ground especially in the areas of photography and graphic layout as we assisted with annual reports and company logo development and design. Our own logo is also in the process of trademark registration!
The Royal Bafokeng commissioned i-Line Films with various media projects in 2007. We assisted by producing a DVD programme on their MasterPlan development. This project included the development of a script, filming and editing and final mixing of the soundtracks. i-Line Films produced photographs on the annual Royal Bafokeng Excellence Awards. This year the awards ceremony gave testament to the Bafokengs leadership abilities and direction. We were also involved in filming various projects which included the Kgotha Kgothe or mass meeting. This project involves broadcasting from the civic centre to a marquee tent and relaying images and audio from the tent back to the civic. On the sporting front we assisted in media efforts for their SAMBA Soccer training clinics for 2010 and athletic development programmes as well as the Royal Bafokeng sponsored soccer game at Ellispark when Bafana Bafana clashed with the USA.

seda Seda also called on our expertise in the area of photography in compiling a report for parliament and their Annual Report for 2007. This proved to come natural to us and we will assist companies, not only with images for their future reports, but also with the full compilation, layout and printing of Annual Reports.

Hi-Risk Unit commissioned i-Line films to produce a Factual drama video illustrating re-enactments of real life situations and their efficient response to life threatening situations. This video is applied as a marketing tool and building on the success of the video we produced a series of short Training videos to sharpen skills of HiRisk personnel.
Hi-Risk Unit We were once again fortunate to travel the globe to assist corporate clients on various productions and to capture exquisite video scenes and photographs of people and their interesting world in countries such as Japan and the Emirates.

Broadcasting: We were therefore contracted by Eugene Botha Productions to assist in the production of a brand new TV series for KYKNET on the DSTV bouquet. The series is named Reise & Soetkyse and travels SA and the world extensively. We were tasked to develop the series as directors, writers, production crew, and editors and insert producers. The series proved so successful that KYKNET commissioned a second season and demanded 2 re-runs per week! We were also called on to assist with their Christmas celebration programme.
Reise & Soetkyse Building on our reputation of 2006 we produced more Music video inserts for SABC’s Gospel gold and assisted with MNET’s Carte Blanche in 2007.

ABI Midrand & Pretoria called on us to promote their Annual Quarter drives in 2007. i-Line films produced 2 DVDs on promotional initiative drives by the ABI branches. The first quarter drive was halted but the 3rd Quarter drive saw ABI Pretoria take the honours yet again. This is the first year where we worked together in a JV relationship with the “Girls from Our Block” company and proved to be a winning combination. We are proud to proclaim that ABI Pretoria was once more announced as the national winners for the 3rd Quarter drive where we were tasked to produce the Shape your drink promotion. Congratulations ABI and thank you for your trust in us!
