This video won a special jury award at the annual WorldFest – Houston International Film Fest putting them second in their category of Travel and Tourism videos for this short tourism video produced for Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism (NMBT).
Not as beautiful as Cape Town (nor as windy!); not as busy as Johannesburg; not as humid and sticky as Durban; BUT a great city with the best beaches (four Blue Flag), airport within 15 minutes from anywhere in the city, close to Addo Elephant Park (see the Big Seven - malaria-free); wonderful shopping malls, and a great place to bring children up in. Port Elizabeth - the Friendly City.
Really wonderful visuals & beautifully put together. Sadly let down by the copy (slightly pretentious) & voiceover, which didn't really work. Sounded a bit too much like a Lux advert.
@neurocidesakiwi - you probably should get out a bit more. Everything in the video was shot in NMB according to The Herald so at minimum we have that many good looking people. I know we have a lot more.
when will the investment and 10minute version be available?
this one was good, but focused on a small stretch of coastline most of the time, not indicative of the full province, but one prob wont be able to do something better with such limited time. look forward to seeing the others
But where are all the people? The Metro has a population of roughly 1.5mil - all one sees are stylised scenes with actors.
What about crowd-puller events and jobs which sustain the city, like Ironman and Splash; the shopping malls, automotive exports, bustling streets, and holiday crowds?
our city, our province, our country!!!

great footage, technically well executed.
But where are all the people? The Metro has a population of roughly 1.5mil - all one sees are stylised scenes with actors.
