THE

Studio

We're a tight crew of 10+ specialists, founders included. Directors, producers, animators, cinematographers, post wizards, creative leads, and a few AI obsessives who never stop talking about the latest tools.

Backed by more than a decade in the game and some shiny awards, from pitch to final cut, we move fast, think big, and deliver work that hits hard.

The people who own this studio still bring the passion and expertise, hands on, every single day.

World class standards, zero ego and 100% unconventional.

Expert creatives
Trusted collaborators
Jonny Maneschijn
Call-Sheet Commander

Jonny keeps shoots running on the ground, call sheets, gear, crew, and the hundred small things that make a shoot day actually happen. Fast learner, sharper every month, and clearly one to watch.

Niel Markgraaff
Frame-and-Foley Perfectionist

Niel edits and sound-designs RJF's work into its final, polished form, equally at home on a timeline or behind a mixing desk. If a cut feels right and a mix sounds better than it should, that's Niel.

Dane Steinhobel
Tool Bender

Dane builds the sites clients actually enjoy using and somehow makes the tech behind the scenes look effortless. Disciplined, sharp on design, and quietly the person keeping the studio running smoother than anyone realises.

Damian Valencia
Chief Fire-Fighter

Damian keeps the trains running and the whole studio pointed in the same direction. Equal parts operator and strategist, he's the reason chaos turns into a step forward and the first to put his hand up for whatever needs fixing next.

Alex Hope-Bailie
The One Who Actually Knows What's Going On

Alex does it all, the person the whole studio quietly relies on to know exactly where things stand. Fast, sharp and deeply plugged into the industry: ask her anything, she'll have the answer before you finish the question.

Zayn Fox
In-House Wizard of AI & Pixels

Zayn designs the interfaces and brand systems clients fall for, powered by a genuine love of AI and a healthy allergy to doing things the slow way. Technically brilliant, endlessly curious, and always five steps ahead of the brief.

Zanele Sebako
The Cross-Department Glue

Zanele produces across departments, gluing together the live-action, animation and design pieces of RJF's more ambitious briefs. New to the studio, quick to adapt, and already the person people call when a project doesn't fit neatly into one box.

Anthony Maneschijn
The Motion Alchemist

Anthony is one of the most technically gifted animators in the country, with an eye for detail that borders on obsessive (in the best way). If it moves, bends or renders in 3D, there's a good chance he's touched it and made it better.

Tristan Coetzee
Head of Yes, And…

Tristan spots the opportunity before anyone else has finished reading the brief, with a knack for making the impossible sound easy. Give him a pitch and a coffee and he'll have three new ideas before the meeting's over.

Tianna Barrett
Keeper of Schedules

Tianna keeps every project on schedule and the studio running on time. One of the latest additions to RJF, she's fast becoming the person holding it all together, one spreadsheet at a time.

Lourens Smit
Master of the Impossible Shoot Day

Lourens directs, grades and edits his way through RJF's biggest live-action briefs, and still finds time to put the biggest smiles on our clients' faces. Technically versatile and relentlessly hands-on, exactly who you want on set when the brief calls for the spectacular.

Devin Armstrong
Set-Day Idea Machine

Devin turns big ideas into shoot-day reality, producing and conceptualising RJF's live-action and AI Creative work from brief to wrap. Give him a clear brief and a strong team, and he'll bring it home.
