Startup Video Production Dunedin

In Dunedin

Dunedin’s tech and research companies draw on the University of Otago and its health and science departments. The city is small enough that founders, researchers and investors are rarely far apart, which makes interview-led films simple to schedule.

Dunedin is a university city with Victorian and Edwardian architecture, the wildlife of the Otago Peninsula and a long independent music history. The harbour, St Clair beach and the steep streets give a lot of different looks in a small area.

Billie travels to Dunedin for productions, bringing the full team or working with local crew depending on the job.

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.

Recruitment films
Social content for launches and milestones

On the shoot

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.

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.

Does Billie work in Dunedin?

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.
