Video production for automotive
Vehicle films, dealership content and launch coverage, shot with care on the road and in the showroom. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Dealerships, importers, workshops, detailers and car and bike brands use video to sell something people want to see moving.
That means vehicle walkarounds, driving footage, launch films, dealership profiles, workshop content and social clips that show detail and sound. Vehicles are hard to film well: paint reflects everything, and moving shots need planning and the right permissions. Billie’s short film Two Wheels is about people, places and the ride, so the feeling of movement is something the team already cares about.
What gets made
- Vehicle walkarounds and feature videos
- Driving and road footage
- New model launch films
- Dealership and workshop profiles
- Social clips and detail shots
- Vehicle photography for listings
On the shoot
Reflections
Paint and glass reflect the crew, the sky and the showroom, so vehicles are shot with large diffused light or in open shade and positioned with care.
Roads and permits
Driving shots on public roads may need council permission and a traffic management plan, and anything beyond normal driving needs a closed road or a private location.
Safety on set
Tracking shots, low angles and drone work around moving vehicles are planned with the drivers in advance, with spotters where needed.
Advertising rules
Vehicle advertising must not show unsafe or illegal driving, so speed and behaviour on camera are planned with New Zealand’s advertising codes in mind.

Questions
Is this a paid service?
Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production, and Billie Private events are quoted per project.
Can you film cars on the road?
Yes, with the right planning. Normal driving shots can be filmed on public roads with care, and anything more needs permission, traffic management or a private location such as a track.
Can you shoot a lot of vehicles in one day?
Yes. For dealership stock, Billie sets up a repeatable shot list and lighting so each vehicle gets the same treatment and the content stays consistent.
