Working with Elevate Digital was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Geoff is the definition of a professional—organized, easy to work with, and passionate about his work. The video he created of our hunt exceeded every expectation. He captured not just the moments, but the feeling—the excitement, the friendships, and the once-in-a-lifetime memories we’ll treasure forever. Geoff blended seamlessly into the hunting experience, so nothing ever felt staged, forced, or interfered with, yet every important detail was captured. We couldn’t be happier with the final product and highly recommend Elevate Digital to anyone looking to preserve their adventures in a stunning, authentic way!

From the moment we met Geoff, it was clear he took his work seriously and approached it with real artistry.

He managed to catch the big and small moments of our hunting adventure while never getting in the way.

The finished video feels less like a highlight reel and more like a living memory—we can feel the excitement, hear the laughter, and relive the experience every time we watch it.

Geoff is also a delight to be around. He can blend into the background if you desire, but he is very interesting and has a passion for the outdoors. He added a lot of fun to our trip!

Geoff has a gift for telling a hunting story through the lens.

Based in New Zealand. Available Worldwide.

While Elevate Digital is based in New Zealand and specialises in filming red stag, tahr and chamois hunts, we are available for select hunting film projects worldwide.

We regularly work with international hunters visiting New Zealand and are interested in partnering with outfitters, guides, brands and hunters throughout North America, Australia, Europe and Africa.

Whether it’s a New Zealand red stag hunt, an elk hunt in Colorado, a whitetail hunt in Texas, a sheep hunt in Alaska or a safari in Africa, our goal is always the same: to create authentic documentary-style hunting films that capture the full experience, not just the final trophy.

As hunters ourselves, we understand the preparation, effort and emotion that go into every hunt and use that understanding to tell stories that can be shared with family, friends and future generations.

FAQ

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.

Q6. Can you film hunts outside New Zealand?

A: Yes. While most of our hunting film work is currently based in New Zealand, Elevate Digital is available for select hunting videography and documentary film projects worldwide. We regularly work with international hunters and are interested in filming hunts throughout North America, Australia, Europe and Africa.

Q7. Do You Travel Internationally for Hunting Film Projects?

A: Yes. We are based in New Zealand but can travel internationally for hunting film projects, outfitter promotions, hunting documentaries and branded outdoor content. Whether it’s a red stag hunt in New Zealand, an elk hunt in Colorado, a whitetail hunt in Texas or a sheep hunt in Alaska, we bring the same documentary-style approach and hunting experience to every project.

Q8. Can Outfitters Hire Elevate Digital to Film Hunts for Their Clients?

A: Absolutely. Many of our hunting videography projects come through outfitters who want to offer professional filming as part of their clients’ experience. We can create cinematic hunt films for individual clients, promotional content for outfitters, social media content, website videos and documentary-style stories that showcase both the hunt and the overall experience. We work closely with outfitters to ensure the final film reflects their brand, operation and the quality of the experience they provide.

Q9. Why Hire a Hunting Videographer?

A: A professional hunting film captures far more than the final trophy photo. It preserves the entire experience, from the planning and travel through to the stalk, the landscape, the camp life and the people involved. Many hunters invest significant time and money into a hunt, and a professionally produced hunting film allows those memories to be relived and shared with family and friends for years to come.
