Commercial Production in New Zealand
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.
From Northland to Canterbury, the work is the same: understand the story, plan it properly and shoot it well. Projects run out of Auckland and Wellington and travel to wherever the story is. Billie works with artists, brands and emerging talent right across the country.
What’s included
- Creative concept and script
- Storyboards and shot lists
- Full production crew
- Post-production and supers
- 6, 15 and 30 second versions
Billie brings the film-first approach of its own productions, Two Wheels and After Service, to brand work.
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.
