Real Estate Video Production Christchurch

In Christchurch

Christchurch’s rebuild brought large numbers of new homes, townhouses and subdivisions, many sold off the plan or as new builds. The flat city and the Port Hills give very different property looks within a short drive.

Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city, and its rebuilt central city has brought new venues, galleries and street art since the earthquakes. The Port Hills, Banks Peninsula and the Canterbury plains are all close by for wider shoots.

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

What it’s for

Real estate runs on images: a listing is judged on its first photo and the first few seconds of its video.

Agencies and agents use property films, aerial footage of the section and the neighbourhood, and photography for listings and print, but they also need content about themselves, because sellers choose an agent as much as buyers choose a house. Developments and new builds need content before anything is finished, which calls for a different kind of film.

What gets made

Property listing films
Aerial footage of the section and the neighbourhood
Listing photography
Agent profile and appraisal videos
Development and off-the-plan project films
Social clips for each listing

On the shoot

Accurate listings

Listing content has to show the property as it is, so Billie avoids lenses, angles and edits that would misrepresent the size, condition or outlook of a home.

Light and the time of day

Homes are shot when the main rooms get their best light, which depends on which way the house faces, so the shoot time is set by the property, not the diary.

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month, with one production session, suits an agent building a personal profile rather than covering listings. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month, with two sessions, suits a small team mixing listings with market updates, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, with weekly sessions, suits an office or developer with a steady flow of properties. A single development launch film can be quoted as Bespoke Production.

Does Billie work in Christchurch?

Often, yes. A session can cover a property in its best light and an agent piece to camera nearby, as long as the timing suits the house first.
