Chameleon Casting was founded in November 1992 by Janice Meyer taking offices at the then Toron Studios, now known as Sasani Studios where we stayed until May 1997.

We were fortunate enough to come into the industry before the 1994 elections, a time that South Africa was in the news in a positive light and everyone wanted to make movies here.

 Chameleon grew quickly and soon had a staff of 10 and some 6000 extras on our books.  We worked on many big budget movies which were made in South Africa.

 Chameleon has maintained an impeccable reputation in the film industry and is a member of OSCA SA the Official South Africa Casting Association.

 Janice after 19 great years in the game has decided to move on to Australia to join family there and sold her legendary Chamelon to entrepreneurs Florence and Michael Niemann.

 We have taken over all of the staff and artistes and are injecting new enthusiasm into the business.

 However, some things don’t change - like the long hours we put in when handling huge international and local feature films, supporting our creative local ad industry and of-course our homebrew soapies.
