Brand Film Production for Startups

For startups and tech

A Billie brand film finds the real story first, why the company exists, how the founders came to it and who it is for, and shoots it with cinema-grade care.

What Billie makes

Founder story film
Mission film for the website
Social trailers for launch
Interview stills for press

On the shoot

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.

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.

The service

A brand film is the piece people watch all the way through: the founders, the craft, the reason the business exists. Billie approaches it like a short documentary, finding the real story first and shooting it with cinema-grade care.

What’s included

Story development and interviews
Cinematic shoot
Original or licensed score
Website and launch cuts
Social trailers

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.

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.

What is included?

Story development and interviews, cinematic shoot, original or licensed score, website and launch cuts, social trailers. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
