Automotive Video Production Hamilton

In Hamilton

The Waikato’s farming economy keeps utes, tractors and rural dealerships busy, and Hamilton is the regional centre for them. Fieldays at Mystery Creek each June is a major stage for vehicle and machinery launches.

Hamilton sits on the Waikato River about ninety minutes south of Auckland. The University of Waikato, a busy student population and the gardens and river trails make it a practical place to shoot and a growing place to make music.

Billie travels to Hamilton for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

Services in Hamilton

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

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.
