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.

The service

A good commercial earns attention before it asks for anything. Billie writes and shoots ads that tell a short story first, then lands the brand and the offer clearly, in formats sized for TV, YouTube, Meta and TikTok.

What’s included

Creative concept and script
Storyboards and shot lists
Full production crew
Post-production and supers
6, 15 and 30 second versions

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 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.

What is included?

Creative concept and script, storyboards and shot lists, full production crew, post-production and supers, 6, 15 and 30 second versions. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
