Skyworks, the UK based independent producer and high definition aerial filming specialist, has today announced the opening of its totally new archive of HD aerial footage of South Africa.

Filmed in November 2009, the crew flew over 7600 kilometres across South Africa, capturing some 50 hours of HD footage covering over 550 points of interest. These include all the venues for the 2010 World Cup, as well as stunning landscape, cities and wildlife.

A website has been launched to showcase seven themed showreels based on a selection of this footage. Http://www.skyworksHD.com/southafrica.html. Skyworks has also launched a YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/SkyworksHD

Damian Keogh, Managing Director for Skyworks, says: “Skyworks aims to create the best aerial stock footage available, and we have travelled from vineyard to veld to deliver a quality of aerial footage that will add value to any production focussing on South Africa and the World Cup.”

The launch of the Skyworks South Africa archive follows success with their HD archive of Europe as well as aerial TV productions for channels such as Smithsonian Networks and National Geographic and in the UK with Wainwright Walks, Railway Walks, and Coast to Coast for the BBC.
