Event Videographer for Restaurants

For restaurants and cafes

Billie covers the night with a small crew that keeps out of the way of service and delivers a highlight film and clips for the venue’s channels.

On the shoot

Food that holds on camera

Hot dishes lose their steam and sauces set within minutes, so plates are cooked to order for the camera and shot quickly, with a stand-in plate used to set the light first.

Food safety in the kitchen

The crew follows the kitchen’s own food safety rules: hair tied back or covered, no gear on prep benches and nothing set down where food is handled.

The service

Events happen once. Billie covers gigs, launches, DJ sets, conferences and brand activations with a crew that knows how to work a live room, then delivers a highlight film and social clips while the event is still being talked about.

What’s included

Multi-camera coverage
Live sound capture
Same-week highlight film
Social clips and teasers
Full-length set recordings

Which retainer suits

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a single restaurant or cafe that needs a steady supply of short-form edits and a few finished pieces each month. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits a busy venue or a small group with menu changes, events and launches to cover, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a hospitality group that wants weekly sessions. A one-off opening campaign can be quoted as Bespoke Production.

Questions

Is this a paid service?

Yes. Billie is a paid production company. Production Retainers are $1,500 NZD a month for Essential and $3,000 NZD a month for Creative, and Studio Partner is priced on enquiry. Projects outside a retainer are quoted per project as Bespoke Production.

Do we need to cook every dish for the shoot?

Each dish being photographed or filmed needs to be plated for the camera, so the kitchen plans a short list in advance. Billie works from that list so food is not wasted.

What is included?

Multi-camera coverage, live sound capture, same-week highlight film, social clips and teasers, full-length set recordings. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
