Brewery Video Production Christchurch

In Christchurch

Christchurch’s brewing scene grew with the rebuild, with brewpubs and tap rooms opening in the central city and the old industrial areas. Canterbury grain is grown close by, which gives a grain-to-glass story a real setting.

Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city, and its rebuilt central city has brought new venues, galleries and street art since the earthquakes. The Port Hills, Banks Peninsula and the Canterbury plains are all close by for wider shoots.

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

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

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.

Glass, steel and condensation

Shiny tanks, glassware and cold cans reflect everything, so product and process shots are lit to control reflections, and condensation is timed for when the camera is ready.

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.
