On the shoot

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.

The service

A brand film is the piece people watch all the way through: the founders, the craft, the reason the business exists. Billie approaches it like a short documentary, finding the real story first and shooting it with cinema-grade care.
