Event Video Production Napier

In Napier and Hawke’s Bay

Napier hosts its Art Deco Festival each February, alongside food and wine events across Hawke’s Bay. The city’s heritage streets give event coverage a look no other city has.

Napier was rebuilt in art deco style after the 1931 earthquake, and its streets, the Marine Parade and the Hawke’s Bay vineyards give a look you cannot find anywhere else in New Zealand. Food, wine and tourism keep local creative work busy.

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

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.

On the shoot

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.

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.
