Brewery Video Production Auckland

In Auckland

Auckland’s breweries, tap rooms and distilleries are spread from the central city to the industrial suburbs and the countryside north and west, so each producer needs content that makes its own story clear. Hemara Group is headquartered in Auckland, so shoots there need no travel.

Auckland is where most of New Zealand’s music, advertising and screen work is made. It is the country’s largest city, home to about a third of the population, and it has the widest range of locations within an hour’s drive: city streets, harbour, west coast beaches and the volcanic cones.

Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so Auckland shoots need no travel.

What it’s for

Craft breweries and distilleries sell a process people find fascinating and rarely see: the grain, the mash, fermentation, the still and the barrel room.

Their content needs to make that visible while keeping up with a steady run of new releases, seasonal brews and limited bottlings. Tap rooms and tasting rooms need their own promotion, and labels and cans need product photography that holds up on a retailer’s website.

What gets made

Release and limited-edition announcements
Brewhouse and distillery process films
Can, bottle and label photography
Tap room and tasting room content
Founder and head brewer or distiller story
Festival and event coverage

On the shoot

Alcohol advertising rules

Beer and spirits advertising in New Zealand is covered by the Advertising Standards Authority’s alcohol advertising code, so casting, scenes and captions are planned with it in mind.

Safety on the production floor

Brewhouses and distilleries have hot vessels, steam, chemicals and forklifts, so the crew works to the site’s safety rules, wears what the site requires and films with a staff member alongside.

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a small brewery or distillery that releases regularly and needs short-form edits for each launch. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a producer with a tap room, events and several ranges to keep in front of people, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a growing brand with ongoing campaign work. A brand film or a single campaign can be quoted as Bespoke Production.
