Videographer for Builders and Trades

For builders and trades

Billie films finished projects, the detail in the joinery and finishing, and the team on site, then edits it into pieces a homeowner will watch all the way through.

On the shoot

Weather and light

Exterior work depends on the weather, so outdoor shoots have a backup date, and interiors are scheduled for when the light through the windows is at its best.

Site safety

Construction sites have their own health and safety rules, so the crew signs in, completes the site induction, wears the required PPE and films with a site lead aware of where they are.

The service

Hiring a videographer through Billie gets you more than someone with a camera. You get a crew that plans the shoot, lights it properly, records clean sound and then edits, grades and delivers the finished piece, so nothing falls between people.

What’s included

Pre-shoot planning and shot list
Camera, lighting and sound
Interviews and b-roll
Edit and colour grade
Versions for web and social

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a trade business that wants one session a month on site to keep social and the website current. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a builder with several projects underway, or one that wants to document builds as they progress, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger construction company with ongoing marketing and recruitment needs. A single showcase film for a finished project can be quoted as Bespoke Production.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

Can you document a build from start to finish?

Yes. Progress filming is planned as a series of short visits at the key stages of the build, then cut together into a finished film, with social content along the way.

What is included?

Pre-shoot planning and shot list, camera, lighting and sound, interviews and b-roll, edit and colour grade, versions for web and social. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
