Stitch FIFA Shoot Reaches 1M Views!!
We were thrilled when the Stitch x FIFA ad hit 1 million views — a milestone that felt as electric as the shoot itself. Working with Stitch was pure energy: two crews, two distinct spaces, one shared vision. One team captured sweeping, cinematic moments while the other focused on intimate, kinetic details; together they built a layered rhythm that made the final piece sing.
The logistics were delightfully chaotic — coordinating schedules, matching lighting and tone across locations, and weaving performance with practical effects — but that’s where the fun lived.
Watching both crews push creative limits, trade ideas on the fly, and solve problems in real time turned challenges into moments of brilliance. The result is a beautiful, dynamic ad that reflects that collaborative spark, and hitting a million views confirmed that the craziness paid off.
Soweto Really Showed Us Samthing
The Dolph Team had such an amazing weekend shooting the live performance for Samthing Soweto at the Joburg Theatre.
There’s a particular electricity that comes with capturing a live performance, an interplay of light, sound, and the raw connection between artist and audience. Last weekend, our crew at Dolph experienced that energy in full when we filmed Samthing Soweto at the Joburg Theatre. From the first note to the final bow, the night unfolded as a vivid narrative of emotion and musicality that demanded both technical precision and creative sensitivity.
Shooting a live show at a venue like the Joburg Theatre posed its own set of challenges: shifting stage lighting, intimate crowd moments, and spontaneous improvisations from the artist. Our in-house post-production team and camera operators worked closely with sound engineers and stage managers to ensure every performance nuance was preserved. Crisp vocals, the warmth of the band, and the subtle visual moments that make a live set unforgettable.

Happy Bi-weekly Quarter to Friday MOVIE NIGHT!
Every second Thursday, the Dolph Headquarters fills with strangers-turned-regulars for our biweekly Movie Night.
A growing tradition of shared curiosity and unexpected cinema. We screen obscure films you wouldn’t watch alone: unheard of new movies, daring indie experiments, and international gems that push conversation past small talk.
The crowd is diverse, the snacks are simple, and the afterglow is the best part is the lively discussions, new recommendations, and a sense that you’ve discovered something together.
Drop by, bring a friend, and see what you’d never pick on your own. Also click the link below to see the reviews on other movie nights.
