Video production for food and beverage producers
Brand films, product photography and content for growers, makers and food and drink brands. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Growers, makers and food and drink brands sell through supermarkets, export buyers, online stores and markets, and each of those needs a different kind of content.
Product photography and packshots, brand films about where the food comes from, process videos, recipe and serving content and trade show material all do different jobs. Provenance is a big part of how New Zealand food is sold, so showing the land, the people and the process honestly is usually the heart of it. Billie approaches that story like a short documentary, finding the real story first.
What gets made
- Product photography and packshots
- Brand and provenance films
- Process and production videos
- Recipe and serving content
- Export and trade show material
- Social content for launches and seasons
On the shoot
Food safety on site
Production floors and packhouses have hygiene rules, so crew wear the right gear, follow the site’s procedures and keep equipment out of controlled areas.
Seasons and harvests
Harvests and growing seasons happen once a year, so provenance shoots are planned around the calendar, not the other way round.
Food that looks right on camera
Food changes quickly under lights, so styling, timing and a second set of product are planned for close-ups.
Labels and claims
Health and nutrition claims are regulated under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, so anything said on camera is checked against what the label is allowed to say.

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 you film on our farm, orchard or production floor?
Yes. Billie plans the shoot around your site rules, food safety procedures and the season, so filming works around production rather than stopping it.
Can one shoot cover photos and video?
Yes. Packshots, lifestyle photography and video can come from the same production days, which keeps the look consistent across packaging, the website and social.
