I’m Kurt Esterhuizen, a creative director based in Cape Town who builds polished films, brands, websites, and online experiences. I bring strong visual storytelling skills and a music-first mindset to every project, combining post-production craft with digital design so the final output feels intentional, modern, and audience-ready.
More than an editor, I’m hands-on across post-production engineering, video editing, sound design, and web/graphic design—often exploring AI-driven content to push ideas further. I enjoy blending creativity with technology to scan concepts into reality, whether I’m shaping motion and sound for screen or designing digital experiences that look great and perform well.

I’m a Post-Production Specialist with over 20 years experience in the industry with skills including Video Editor, Motion Designer and Sound Designer with a multidisciplinary background spanning commercial advertising, branded content, music, animation and digital media.
My work covers the full post-production process, from editing and compositing through to motion graphics, sound design, mixing and AI-assisted content production. I combine strong technical execution with creative storytelling, using tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and emerging generative AI platforms to create polished, cinematic and engaging content.
I’ve worked across commercial and product-focused campaigns, creating content for brands and agencies including smeg, Jeep &bounty Brands to name a few, while specialising in high-end post-production, visual effects, motion graphics and sound-led storytelling.
I also have an extensive background in music production and audio, which gives me a strong understanding of rhythm, pacing, sound design and the relationship between picture and sound.
My focus is simple: taking strong ideas and raw assets and turning them into polished work that feels modern, intentional and built to hold attention.
