Find an award-winning crew for your Wellington video production
In today’s highly competitive corporate video climate, you need more than just a great idea to break through to your audience. You also need effective production processes to make sure your content connects. One way to build the quality of your videos is to find a reliable location to film that content. Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, could become that destination for your business.
Compact, highly accessible and close to both an airport and numerous well-preserved natural sanctuaries, Wellington is a promising destination for your next video shoot. The Lord of the Rings movies, with visual effects by the locally based Weta Workshop, put Wellington on the map as a film destination. Since then, it’s hosted shoots for blockbusters like Avatar and King Kong, as well as TV series in which the city plays itself, like Wellington Paranormal. The same infrastructure that helps movies and TV shows capture their footage can also give your corporate video a boost.
If your organization is based in the Northern Hemisphere, you can take advantage of the reversed seasons to film through your winter in the New Zealand summer. No matter where you’re coming from, you’ll appreciate the city’s cultural attractions and its Cable Car, which lets you view downtown from above. With a professional video crew by your side, Wellington can become the star of your next corporate video.

Why work with expert Wellington video crews?
Even in a welcoming city with a small footprint, it pays to have input and support from video experts who know the area well. These professionals can put their knowledge to use to keep your project on track, helping you apply for the correct permits and public liability insurance and navigate to the ideal locations to capture outdoor footage and shoot B-roll.
All Crews Control teams are well-versed in their respective regions. That means when you choose Crews Control in Wellington, your assigned crew will be able to make informed recommendations about soundstage spaces, skyline views and natural landscapes, while also coming through with mundane but still essential suggestions. For example, locals know where to park at any given time, and where to go for lunch.
A crew based in Wellington can help you determine which of the local venues suits your purposes, while also accessing filmmaking infrastructure services such as gear rental. Crews Control teams are also made up of true subject matter experts, meaning they can handle the creative and technical aspects of even the most ambitious video concept, taking pressure off your internal stakeholders and talent.

What makes Wellington a unique video shooting destination?
Every city in the world has its own distinctive character. When you’re shooting corporate video, it’s up to you to determine whether you lean into that local look and feel or take advantage of the amenities on offer to produce a more generalized piece of content. The following are just a few of the traits you’ll notice once you get started filming in the capital of New Zealand:
- Transportation is easy: When your shooting locations are largely contained in downtown Wellington Central, you may not even need a car to get around — the city is that compact and easy to navigate. It takes just a few hours to cross Wellington Central on foot, and there are ample public transit options, including buses, trains and the Cable Car, which offers stunning views from its apex.
- Conventions are common: A corporate meeting is one of the easiest ways to bring stakeholders together and capture footage in one location. Wellington is known for its convention venues and hotels, which draw dozens of events every year — one of them could be yours.
- The coast is nearby: Sometimes, bustling downtown views and studio shots aren’t right for your corporate video, and you’d like to get some fresh air. The Kāpiti Coast, close to Wellington by car, can deliver a variety of breathtaking natural views, along with charming seaside towns that offer a different energy from the city, despite being easily accessible.
- Museums and galleries offer new perspectives: When you want to capture distinctly New Zealand sights, you can stop into the capital’s museums, including the Te Papa Museum, which seeks to present a wide survey of New Zealand’s cultural and natural history. Then, to encounter cutting-edge artwork, you can visit City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi.
Whether you’d rather capture the lush botanical gardens, the thriving coffee shop scene or any other side of Wellington, you’ll surely find enough exciting sights to keep coming back for one video shoot after another.
Our Wellington video crews: Experience and gear
Experience is one of the most valuable resources on any video set. When the production is led by a long-tenured expert, it’s easier to keep the process organized at every step, leading to successful results in the long term. This is why Crews Control works with directors of photography who have at least 10 years of industry experience. These professionals can keep their cool, even when unexpected circumstances arise.
To make sure video crews’ skills don’t go to waste, it also pays to use the latest and greatest in video technology. Working with advanced gear both on location in the studio helps crews capture footage that will look impressive for years to come, even as audience expectations grow more demanding. Crews Control teams use equipment made by Sony, Panasonic, Canon, JVC, Ikegami, Thompson (Philips), Hitachi, RED and Arriflex.

I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
