On the shoot

Conservation land permits

Commercial filming on public conservation land needs authorisation from the Department of Conservation, so locations on DOC land are checked and permitted before the shoot.

Weather windows

Outdoor experiences depend on the weather, so shoots are planned with backup days and a forecast-driven call the day before.

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

Essential at $1,500 NZD a month suits a small operator that needs one session a month to keep social and booking pages current. Creative at $3,000 NZD a month suits an operator running several experiences or seasonal campaigns, and Studio Partner, on enquiry, suits a larger tourism business with international and trade audiences. A single hero film for a new experience can be quoted as Bespoke Production.
