Video production for event organisers
Video and photography for festivals, conferences, gigs and launches, before, during and after the day. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Event organisers use video at three points: before the event to sell tickets and sign sponsors, on the day to capture it, and afterwards to show it happened and sell the next one.
A highlight film, speaker or set recordings, social clips posted while the event is still running and stills for media and sponsors are the core of it. Sponsors often ask for footage of their activation as part of the deal. Billie can be both the crew that films the event and, through Billie Private, the team that produces it.
What gets made
- Ticket-selling teasers and line-up announcements
- Social clips and stories during the event
- Highlight films for next year’s marketing
- Speaker and full-set recordings
- Sponsor activation footage and stills
- Photo galleries for media and attendees
On the shoot
The run sheet comes first
Coverage is planned against the run sheet, so cameras are in place for the moments that matter: the opening, the headline act, the award, the reveal.
Crowd consent and signage
Ticket terms and signage at the entrance tell attendees filming is happening, and anyone who asks not to be filmed is kept out of the edit.
Music rights at gigs
Recording a performance for release or promotion needs the artist’s agreement, and covers of other people’s songs bring their own rights, so this is cleared with performers before the day.
Access and power
Crew need accreditation, a base to work from, power and a route between stages or rooms that does not cut through the audience.
Services
Where
Which retainer suits
An organiser running a monthly night or a season of events suits a retainer: Essential at $1,500 NZD a month covers one production session and short-form edits, and Creative at $3,000 NZD a month adds a second session and creative direction. A single festival or conference is usually quoted as Bespoke Production, and if you want Billie to produce the event itself, that is a Billie Private commission, quoted per project.

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, and Billie Private events are quoted per project.
Can Billie film and produce the same event?
Yes. Billie Private can produce the event, from creative direction and venue coordination to entertainment and hospitality, and the Billie crew can film it. Each part is quoted per project from the brief.
Can clips go out while the event is still on?
They can, if it is planned that way. Billie agrees which moments matter most and how soon you want them before the day, so an editor can work alongside the crew.
