Record Label Video Production Hamilton

In Hamilton

Hamilton’s university population makes it a regular stop for label showcases and tours. It is close enough to Auckland that a roster shoot there can be done in a day.

Hamilton sits on the Waikato River about ninety minutes south of Auckland. The University of Waikato, a busy student population and the gardens and river trails make it a practical place to shoot and a growing place to make music.

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

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.
