Before you hire
Whether you need a corporate video, a product video or short clips for social media, production costs vary enormously based on crew size, equipment and post-production. Ask to see a showreel of work similar to what you need, confirm exactly what is included in the quote (scripting, voiceover, music licensing, revisions), and clarify who retains the raw footage after delivery.

Before you hire a video production company in Auckland
Drawn from 264 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
What does video production typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more
Corporate video production in New Zealand runs between NZD $3,000 and $30,000 for a finished product. A basic single-camera talking head or explainer video sits at the lower end, while multi-location brand films with motion graphics push costs higher.
Day rates for professional videographers run between NZD $800 and $2,500, with editors charging roughly NZD $75 to $150 per hour. Reviews confirm that upfront, itemised pricing is a genuine differentiator, with clients noting transparent quoting as a reason they chose one company over others.
Who owns the video and raw footage once the project is delivered? expand_more
Under the Copyright Act 1994, copyright in a commissioned video stays with the production company by default unless your contract explicitly transfers it to you. Raw footage is almost never included in standard deliverables and must be negotiated as a specific contract term before work begins.
Music used in your video carries its own licensing requirements, and usage rights granted for one platform, such as a website, may not cover broadcast or paid social without a separate agreement. Talent appearing on camera should sign release forms before production starts, and you should confirm in writing whether the production company can use your footage in their own portfolio.
How many rounds of revisions are included before extra charges kick in? expand_more
Most Auckland video production companies include two to three rounds of revisions in a standard package, but the definition of a revision varies widely between suppliers. Review feedback shows that the best experiences involve companies that respond promptly to feedback, make changes quickly, and treat minor adjustments as part of the agreed scope. What counts as a new direction versus a revision, how feedback is submitted, and what excess revision work costs per hour should all be agreed in writing before production starts.
What are the warning signs of a video production company you shouldn't hire? expand_more
- –A quote that lists a final price without breaking down shoot days, crew size, editing hours, or revision rounds.
- –No written answer when you ask who owns the finished files and raw footage.
- –Vague or verbal commitments about turnaround times, with no milestone schedule in the contract.
- –Staff who fail to show up or are unaware of a confirmed booking, as seen in at least one Auckland hire experience in these reviews.
- –A company that turns hostile or uncooperative when you raise concerns or request changes.
- –No clarity on music licensing, meaning your video could be flagged or muted on YouTube or social platforms after delivery.
What should you ask before hiring a video production company? expand_more
- –Who owns the finished video and the raw footage, and can you purchase the raw files if you need them later?
- –How many revision rounds are included, how do you submit feedback, and what is the hourly rate for work beyond that scope?
- –What file formats will the final video be delivered in, and will you receive broadcast-ready, web-optimised, and social versions?
- –What is the timeline from brief to first cut to final delivery, and are milestone dates written into the contract?
- –How is music licensed in the final edit, and does that licence cover all the platforms where you plan to publish?
- –Will any talent or people appearing on camera sign release forms, and who is responsible for obtaining those before the shoot?

How are the top video production companies in Auckland chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for video production companies in Auckland. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out, and a business whose main Google category is a different trade is held back until a person has checked what it does. A business whose website no longer resolves and that has had no Google review for six months is treated as dormant and left off the page until either changes. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. A location with a subscribing business is rechecked every month, and the whole page updates with it. See how we rank for the full method.
What does a business subscription offer? expand_more

A paid subscription provides an enhanced card with more ways to reach the business, including a website link and a detailed profile page.

Why isn't my business listed? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for video production companies in Auckland. The usual reasons for missing out are a Google Business category that does not match, too few reviews to score near the top, or an address outside the area we cover. Sometimes we miss a business that should be here. Check where you rank first. If you are not there and think you should be, get in touch.
