Short Cinematic Hunt Film
Your hunt comes first. I work quietly alongside your guide to capture the country, the people and the moments that make the experience worth remembering.
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.
Geoff at Elevate Digital is the gold standard of hunting videographers. He’s great to work with out in the field as he understands hunting which is important when it comes to capturing the footage needed without interfering with the hunt itself and also portraying it well on screen. Believe it or not, that’s not a quality that all “hunting videographers” bear. The work he produces is sharp, emotive and encapsulates the vision you want from good hunting film. Skillset aside, he’s also not terrible company on the hill or around the dinner table at night either haha.
I’ve worked with many videographers throughout my time in the hunting industry, both in New Zealand and abroad, and Geoff is right up there among the best in the world!
Top tier videographer. I spent about 8 days with Geoff throughout the backcountry with a couple of clients from Europe. Geoff is easy to get along with and pumps out some outstanding footage, highly recommend. I have no doubt we will work together again in the future
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!
I’ve worked with professional videographers for many years since my profession is creating media in the hunting and outdoor industry. It can be dangerous given the nature of working with big game animals, firearms, knives, remote country and steep terrain. I’d work with these guys anywhere. Professional, courteous, ready to go and produce a good product on time. You really can’t ask for more.
Geoff at elevate digital was awesome. He came and filmed a hunt last year at Avon valley safaris , a hunt I was guiding and the whole Geoff was filming he was very professional and almost like he was guiding with me. He knew when to be quiet and engage “stealth mode” and being a hunter himself he understood the surroundings well and where to get the right shots and angles to really capture the hunt in the right way. I’d highly recommend Geoff to anyone who is looking to get their hunt filmed.
Geoff is an amazing hunter and outdoorsman combined with very talented
Based in New Zealand. Available Worldwide.
I specialise in filming red stag, tahr, chamois and other New Zealand hunts for local and international hunters. I am also available for selected hunting film and documentary projects worldwide.
Wherever the hunt takes place, I work alongside the hunter and guide, keep the production unobtrusive and capture the full experience, not just the final shot.
If you are travelling to New Zealand, I can coordinate directly with your outfitter before you arrive.
A Hunting Film You Can Relive
A trophy photograph records the result. A professionally made hunting film brings back the country, the voices, the weather, the stalk and the people who shared the experience with you.
Whether you choose a concise short film or a full documentary, the aim is the same: to create something that feels honest to your hunt and still matters years from now.
A Hunter, Filmmaker and Video Strategist
Good hunting films require more than attractive footage. I bring together hunting experience, documentary storytelling and video strategy so the finished film has a clear purpose and a story people will want to watch.
• Hunter behind the camera: More than 20 years of hunting experience helps me work quietly with guides and understand how opportunities unfold.
• Story-led production: I plan for the people, context, natural audio and turning points, not only the final shot.
• Long-form capability: I produce concise short films and can also shape multi-day coverage into documentaries running 30 to 60 minutes.
• Built for the field: Lightweight equipment, professional audio and backcountry experience keep the production practical.
• Marketing perspective: When filming for an outfitter or brand, I consider how the content will support its website, sales process and future marketing.

How Does Filming Fit Around Your Hunt?
Plan With Your Guide
Before the hunt, I discuss access, terrain, likely routes and how we will work together when an opportunity develops.
Keep the Footprint Small
I use a lightweight filming setup and move as part of the hunting party, without turning the hunt into a large production.
Build the Story Afterwards
In the edit, I bring together the action, natural sound, conversations and quieter moments so the finished film feels like the hunt itself.
What New Zealand Hunts Can Elevate Film?
I film red stag, tahr, chamois, fallow deer, wild boar and game-bird hunts across New Zealand, where access and logistics allow.
Coverage can be planned for free-range, estate and multi-species hunts. Alpine hunts require a lightweight approach and the fitness to move with the hunting party, while other trips can provide more time for interviews, camp life and the wider hunting experience.
• Red stag hunts
• Tahr hunts
• Chamois hunts
• Fallow deer hunts
• Wild boar hunts
• Duck, goose and upland game hunts
Other New Zealand and international hunting projects can be discussed individually.
Ready to Film Your New Zealand Hunt?

How much does a hunting videographer cost in New Zealand?
Hunting film packages start from NZD $3,000 plus GST for two filming days and a 5 to 10 minute film. Full documentaries running 30 to 60 minutes start from NZD $8,000 plus GST. The final cost depends on filming days, travel, film length and deliverables.
What is included in a hunting film package?
Packages include professional on-location filming, editing, colour grading, sound design, natural audio and drone footage where conditions and permissions allow. The final film length, interviews, additional edits and usage permissions are agreed before the hunt.
Will filming interfere with my hunt?
The camera should support the hunt, not control it. I coordinate with your outfitter or guide, use a lightweight filming setup and keep the production footprint as small as practical.
Can you film multi-day or multi-species hunts?
Yes. Coverage can be planned around several hunting days, locations or species. We decide the intended film length before the hunt so the right story, audio and supporting footage can be captured.
Do you film hunts outside New Zealand?
Yes. Elevate Digital is based in New Zealand and available for selected hunting film and documentary projects worldwide. International travel and production requirements are quoted individually.
Can outfitters hire Elevate Digital?
Yes. I can produce personal films for an outfitter’s hunting clients and separate marketing content for the outfitter’s website, social media and sales process. These deliverables are planned separately because a client’s private hunt film and an outfitter’s promotional video serve different audiences.
