Initially he worked primarily with [[Jamie Uys]] and [[Emil Nofal]] and for the former he also directed a few sponsored shorts, including ones for Union Castle and the South African Road Safety Council. He was responsible for the cinematography of three of Uys’s features – ''[[Hans en die Rooinek]]'' (1961), ''[[Lord Oom Piet]]'' (1962) and ''[[Dingaka]]'' (1964). His only feature as director was ''[[Marmerpoel]]'' (1972). In 1962 he married Anuska Gelletich who, as Anuska Viljoen, was responsible for the make-up on ''[[King Hendrik]]'' ([[Emil Nofal]]/1965).
