Record Label Video Production New Plymouth

In New Plymouth

WOMAD at Brooklands each year puts New Plymouth on the touring map for international and local artists, and festival footage is valuable campaign material for a label. Taranaki maunga and the black sand coast give videos a striking backdrop.

New Plymouth has an outsized arts profile for its size: the Len Lye Centre and Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, the Coastal Walkway, and WOMAD at Brooklands each year. Taranaki maunga gives every outdoor shoot a backdrop.

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

Services in New Plymouth

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

Delivery specs

Streaming and video platforms each have their own upload specs, so masters, thumbnails and vertical cuts are delivered in the formats the distributor asks for.

Clearances

Everything on screen needs clearing before release: locations, featured people, artwork, brands in shot and any sampled audio in the master.

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.
