Food Producer Video Production Hamilton

In Hamilton

The Waikato is one of New Zealand’s main dairy regions, and Hamilton is the centre for the farming, food science and agribusiness around it. Farm shoots there are planned around milking, calving and the weather.

Hamilton sits on the Waikato River about ninety minutes south of Auckland. The University of Waikato, a busy student population and the gardens and river trails make it a practical place to shoot and a growing place to make music.

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

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.

On the shoot

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.

Which retainer suits

Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production, and Billie Private events are quoted per project.

Does Billie work in Hamilton?

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

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.
