Food Producer Video Production Nelson

In Nelson

Nelson and Tasman grow apples, hops and a wide range of other fruit, and Nelson’s port is home to one of the country’s largest fishing fleets. The region’s growers and makers suit provenance stories filmed in the orchard, the field or on the water.

Nelson is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand, with a strong arts and makers community, the Abel Tasman National Park nearby and the vineyards and orchards of the Tasman region all around it.

Billie travels to Nelson 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

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.

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. Brands running campaigns and export marketing may need Creative at $3,000 NZD a month. A provenance film or a launch campaign can be quoted on its own as Bespoke Production.
