Video Production for Startups and Tech

A startup’s first proper film usually has to explain the product, the problem and why this team is the one to solve it, in a couple of minutes. Production Retainers from $1,500 NZD a month.

For startups and tech

Billie handles the concept, script, shoot and edit in-house, combining interviews, product shots and motion graphics so the idea lands with people who have never heard of it.

What Billie makes

  • Launch film or explainer
  • Homepage hero video
  • Product walkthrough with motion graphics
  • Cut-downs for launch posts

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.

The service

Billie handles video from the first idea to the final export: concept, scripting, casting, the shoot itself, edit, colour and sound. One team carries the project the whole way, so the story you sign off on at the start is the one that ends up on screen.

What’s included

  • Concept and scripting
  • Location scouting and casting
  • Shoot crew and camera
  • Edit, colour grade and sound mix
  • Cut-downs for every platform

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?

Concept and scripting, location scouting and casting, shoot crew and camera, edit, colour grade and sound mix, cut-downs for every platform. The exact scope depends on the brief, and every quote is put together for the project.
