Record Label Video Production Auckland

In Auckland

Auckland is where most of the country’s music industry is based, from labels, studios and distributors to the venues that host showcases. Hemara Group is headquartered there, so roster shoots in Auckland need no travel.

Auckland is where most of New Zealand’s music, advertising and screen work is made. It is the country’s largest city, home to about a third of the population, and it has the widest range of locations within an hour’s drive: city streets, harbour, west coast beaches and the volcanic cones.

Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so Auckland shoots need no travel.

What it’s for

A label needs video across a whole roster at once: music videos for priority singles, visualisers for album tracks, vertical content for every release week, live sessions and press photos for the publicists.

The work is constant, and it has to stay true to each artist while fitting the label’s release schedule. Billie is part of EYWA Records, so it knows how a release plan runs from the inside. That means shoots planned around delivery dates, budgets and the different needs of each artist.

On the shoot

Batching across the roster

Several artists can share a studio day, a crew and a lighting setup, which makes a label’s budget go further than separate shoots.

Artist approvals

Artists and managers usually approve treatments and cuts, so the schedule leaves room for their feedback before anything is locked.

Which retainer suits

A label releasing across a roster suits a retainer more than most: Creative at $3,000 NZD a month gives two production sessions, six edited pieces, eight to ten short-form edits and creative direction, and Studio Partner, priced on enquiry, adds weekly sessions and priority scheduling. Priority music videos with bigger treatments are usually quoted separately as Bespoke Production.
