Event Video Production New Plymouth

In New Plymouth

New Plymouth hosts WOMAD each year at Brooklands, and the Festival of Lights fills Pukekura Park over summer. Outdoor events in parkland call for coverage planned around light, weather and how the crowd moves.

New Plymouth has an outsized arts profile for its size: the Len Lye Centre and Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, the Coastal Walkway, and WOMAD at Brooklands each year. Taranaki maunga gives every outdoor shoot a backdrop.

Billie travels to New Plymouth 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.
