Said K.As a small startup it was important for us to get a lot from this video to sell the style of our brand. After a few chats with Tiago, Bryce and I had complete trust in Tiago for the whole creative side of the project. He took what we had said and truly blew us away with the quality & variety of content he produced.

Questions about hiring a videographer
Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.
How much does a freelance videographer cost in New Zealand?
As a guide: short promo or social video, NZ$600–$2,000; brand film or explainer, NZ$3,000–$8,000; campaign or multi-day production, NZ$10,000–$35,000+. Freelancers set the final price after reading your brief, and it's free to enquire.
What should I include in a video production brief?
Include what the video must achieve, who will watch it, the length you have in mind, where it will be used, any brand files or example videos you like, and your timing.
Do I need a videographer or a video editor?
Brief a videographer when you need the filming done. If you already have footage and need it cut into a finished video, see video editing.
How long does a business video take?
A simple social video can take a few days from shoot to delivery. A scripted brand film with several shoot days usually takes a few weeks. Put your deadline in the brief.
Who owns the finished video?
Usage rights vary between freelancers. Agree ownership of the final video, raw footage and any music licences before the shoot, and write it into the project terms. Common arrangements are full transfer of the finished video to you, or a licence for set uses and a set period. The agreement with your chosen freelancer sets the final terms.
