About us | Executive Producer Liz O'Shaughnessy has been involved in most aspects of the television and film industry for over 30 years. As a result of this wide experience, she has a broad knowledge of production, and a completely hands-on approach to every angle of a project, from budgeting through to execution and post-production. After 10 years at the helm of one of South Africa's leading production houses, Liz started Metal Tiger Productions in 2004 in reaction to the South African industry's need to provide more streamlined and efficient production services. In the recent years of very competitive and tight budgets, Metal Tiger has been able to adjust to the changing global needs and has had a highly successful third season, continuing to facilitate great shoots all over Southern Africa in collaboration with partners from the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Germany and Poland to name a few. The company offices in the historic Old Castle Brewery in Woodstock provide a vibrant space for creative production.
Metal Tiger Productions is a streamlined production company offering huge experience without the expensive frills. The core team, consisting of Liz O'Shaughnessy and Tracy Raubenheimer, does all the preliminary research to avoid unnecessary extra costs, with Liz doing all the budgeting herself. Metal Tiger has wonderful relationships with the top freelance crew and suppliers, and brings the right people on board for each job. The company also uses stringent accounting practices, to ensure fast, efficient and transparent reconciling of all jobs.
