Food Producer Video Production Napier

In Napier and Hawke’s Bay

Hawke’s Bay is often called the fruit bowl of New Zealand, with orchards, market gardens and food producers spread across the Heretaunga Plains. Its seasons give provenance films a strong arc, from blossom to picking.

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.

Services in Napier and Hawke’s Bay

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

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.

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.

Which retainer suits

Producers with seasonal launches and a steady social feed suit Essential at $1,500 NZD a month: one session, three edited pieces and five short-form edits cover new products and seasonal moments.
