Real Estate Video Production Wanaka

In Wānaka

Wānaka’s lake and mountain outlook is a large part of what its properties sell, and many buyers view homes there from elsewhere in New Zealand or overseas. Film and aerial footage help them understand a site before they travel.

Wānaka sits on Lake Wānaka at the edge of Mount Aspiring National Park. Its lake, mountains and vineyards make it a popular place for weddings, private events and outdoor shoots.

Billie travels to Wānaka 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

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.

Neighbours and drone flights

Flying over neighbouring properties needs the consent of the people who own or occupy them, so aerial shots are planned around the boundaries and the airspace rules.

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.

Can you fly a drone over the property?

Where the airspace rules allow it and the neighbours whose properties the drone would cross have agreed. Billie checks each location before any flight.
