how it works

How It Works for Your Agency

Every agency works differently, so we fit around you rather than the other way round. You send us the brief, the budget and the timeline. We come back with a plan that suits the job, along with an honest view of what's achievable for the budget. We take a strategy-first approach, so before anyone picks up a camera we look at who the video is for, where it'll be seen and what it needs to do. On the day, you get a senior crew on set who are comfortable working with your client, their staff and their customers. Where it helps, we'll do a location recce beforehand to check light, sound and access, so there are no surprises on shoot day. If you or your client can't make it to the shoot, we can set up a live remote viewing feed so you can watch along and give direction as it happens.
We work with Australian agencies too. See our Australian agencies page.

Levels of Service

We can scale up or scale down depending on how much help you need. Crew size also scales to suit the budget. A simple interview can be filmed with a small crew and no dedicated sound person, while bigger shoots can have a larger team.

Videography crew:

You've got the creative and the editors, you just need people behind the camera. We film to your brief and shot list and hand the footage over to your team via Frame.io.

Production team:

We take care of the shoot and the edit. You keep the strategy and the client relationship, and we deliver finished videos ready for your client to review.

Full production partner:

We handle the lot, from planning and scripting through to filming, editing and captions, with cutdowns for different channels on request.

Social media content team:

For agencies running social for clients, we can produce regular content, from short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn through to photography, so your client's channels stay fresh.

White label, your way:

You can refer us and we handle the whole project, while you look after the quotes, invoices and the client relationship. Or we work purely as an extension of your team. You direct us, and we don't deal with your client at all, apart from on the shoot.

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of agencies do you work with?

We work with creative, marketing, digital, PR, social media and recruitment agencies, from small teams to larger agencies. Whether you need help on one project or ongoing support, we fit in around how you already work.

Can you work as our in-house video team without us hiring one?

Yes. Agencies use us instead of setting up their own video team for a couple of reasons. You avoid the cost of buying gear and setting up, which can run to hundreds of thousands of dollars. You also get a qualified team who run their own business, bring fresh ideas and have a real drive to do well, so that passion shows up on every project. You get senior crew and editors when you need them, and you don't carry the cost when you don't.

Can you work white label?

Yes, in one of two ways. You can refer us and we handle the whole project, while you look after the quotes, invoices and client relationship. Or we work purely as an extension of your team, where you direct us and we don't deal with your client at all, apart from on the shoot.

Can we just book a crew and do the edit ourselves?

Yes. We'll film to your brief and shot list and send the footage to your editors via Frame.io. If you'd rather we handled the edit as well, we can do that too.

How quickly can you turn a project around?

It depends on the job, but a 2-minute corporate video with basic text or motion graphics usually takes about 2 to 3 days to edit, and we normally quote within 7 days. If your client's deadline is tight, let us know early and we'll do our best to fit it in.

How many rounds of feedback do we get?

As standard, you get 2 rounds of feedback for your agency and 2 rounds for your client. That gives you a chance to shape the edit before it goes to your client, and gives your client room to have their say too.

Do you film outside Auckland?

Yes. We're based in Takapuna and travel nationwide, with crew on call in other cities. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote for shoots outside Auckland.
