Brewery Video Production Nelson

In Nelson

The Nelson region grows almost all of New Zealand’s commercial hops, which gives local breweries a clear story about where their beer begins. Hop gardens at harvest make striking footage.

Nelson is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand, with a strong arts and makers community, the Abel Tasman National Park nearby and the vineyards and orchards of the Tasman region all around it.

Billie travels to Nelson 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

Working to the production calendar

Brew days, distillation runs and canning lines run to their own timetable, so a shoot is planned around production rather than the other way round.

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.

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.
