Video production for schools and education
Enrolment films, event coverage and campus photography for schools, universities and training providers. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Schools, kura, universities and training providers use video to show families and students what it is actually like to be there.
That means enrolment and prospectus films, campus tours, international student marketing, graduation and event coverage, staff recruitment and course explainers. Families compare schools online long before they visit, so the content has to be honest and look the part. Billie films with the care that consent and privacy require around students.
What gets made
- Enrolment and prospectus films
- Campus and facility tours
- Open day and event coverage
- International student marketing
- Course and programme explainers
- Staff recruitment videos
On the shoot
Consent for students
Students only appear where the school holds consent from parents or caregivers, or from adult students themselves, and anyone without it is kept out of frame.
The timetable and the calendar
Shoots are planned around the timetable and the school calendar, so classes run normally and the footage shows real days.
Privacy on campus
Names on uniforms, rolls on walls and screens in classrooms are checked before filming so nothing identifies a student who should not be identified.
Footage that lasts the year
Enrolment films are often shot in one term and used for a year or more, so grounds, uniforms and light are planned to suit the whole period.
Services
Where
Which retainer suits
Schools and tertiary providers with a year-round calendar suit Essential at $1,500 NZD a month: one session a month covers events, sport and campus life, with short-form edits for social. A new enrolment film is usually quoted as Bespoke Production. Larger institutions running student recruitment campaigns may need Creative at $3,000 NZD a month; the guide to retainers and one-off projects helps decide.

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.
How do you handle students who cannot be filmed?
The school shares its consent list before the shoot, and the crew frames and edits around anyone without consent, so they are kept out of the finished video.
Can you film on normal school days?
Yes, and that is usually best: real classes and real breaks look more honest than staged ones. Shoots are planned with the school to fit around the timetable.
