Brand Film Production in Auckland
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.
Auckland is where most of New Zealand’s music, advertising and screen work is made. It is the country’s largest city, home to about a third of the population, and it has the widest range of locations within an hour’s drive: city streets, harbour, west coast beaches and the volcanic cones. Billie is part of Hemara Group, which is headquartered in Auckland, so Auckland shoots need no travel.
What’s included
- Story development and interviews
- Cinematic shoot
- Original or licensed score
- Website and launch cuts
- Social trailers
After Service, Billie’s own series on hospitality, is built the same way: real people, real work, shot with care.
How it works
- Brief: A call to understand the goal, the audience, the timeline and the budget.
- Treatment: A written and visual plan, so everyone agrees on the idea before anything is shot.
- Production: Locations, crew, cast and schedule locked in, then the shoot itself.
- Post: Edit, colour, sound and graphics, with review rounds built in.
- Delivery: Masters and cut-downs for every platform the piece will live on.
