Let’s Plan Your FilmFAQ
Q1. How much does hunting videography cost in New Zealand?
A: Our hunting videography packages start from $2,550 + GST for a two day shoot and range up to $6,500 + GST for a full documentary. Every project is tailored to your hunt, terrain, and story so you only pay for the production value that matters most.
Q2. What’s included in a hunting video package?
A: Every package includes on site filming, drone footage, sound capture, full editing, colour grading and delivery in 4K. Longer hunts or custom story edits can include interviews, music licensing, and social media cut downs.
Q3. Can you film multi day or multi-species hunts?
A: Absolutely. We often film across several days and regions from the Southern Alps to the high country. Our crew plans the logistics, ensures consistent lighting and audio, and keeps the focus on your experience rather than the equipment.
Q4. How do you make sure filming doesn’t interfere with the hunt?
A: Our approach is discreet. We coordinate with your guide in advance, use lightweight gear, and work quietly in the background. The goal is to capture moments as they happen not stage them.
Q5. Do you provide drone footage or aerial filming?
A: Yes — drone footage is standard in every hunting package, provided weather and terrain allow. All flights comply with New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority regulations for safe and legal operation.
A: Definitely. We frequently work with visiting hunters from overseas. We can coordinate travel logistics, permits and file delivery online making it simple to take your story home when the hunt is over.
