Video production for startups and tech
Product demos, launch films, founder stories and recruitment video for companies that move quickly. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.
What it’s for
Startups use video to explain something new to people who have not seen it before: investors, early customers and the people they want to hire.
That means a launch film or explainer, product demos and screen-led walkthroughs, founder interviews, recruitment films and a steady feed of social content as the company grows. The product often changes month to month, so the content has to be easy to update. Billie plans shoots so interviews and b-roll can be recut as the story moves.
What gets made
- Launch films and explainers
- Product demos and screen-led walkthroughs
- Founder and team interviews
- Investor update and pitch videos
- Recruitment films
- Social content for launches and milestones
On the shoot
Screens on camera
Laptop and phone screens flicker and reflect on camera, so product shots are either lit for the screen or recorded separately and composited in the edit.
Confidential products
Unreleased features, whiteboards and dashboards are checked before a shoot so nothing confidential ends up in the background.
Founders on camera
Most founders are not used to being filmed. A relaxed interview with prepared questions usually works better than a script read to camera.
Built to be updated
Interviews and b-roll are shot so the film can be recut when the product, the pricing or the team changes, without another full shoot.
Services
Where
Which retainer suits
An early-stage company with a steady stream of releases often suits Essential at $1,500 NZD a month: one session, three edited pieces and five short-form edits keep launches and hiring posts covered. A growing team running campaigns may need Creative at $3,000 NZD a month for two sessions and concept development. A single launch film or investor video can be quoted on its own 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, and Billie Private events are quoted per project.
Can you film our product if it is mostly software?
Yes. Software is filmed through the people using it, clean screen recordings and motion graphics, so the film shows what the product does without long stretches of interface.
Can the video be updated when the product changes?
That is planned for from the start. Interviews and b-roll are shot so sections can be recut or replaced in the edit as the product and the story move on.
