Frequently asked questions
How much is a videographer in Auckland?
In Auckland, a half-day shoot sits around the national entry rate while a full corporate production with a crew and edit runs several times higher. Travel, extra cameras and turnaround speed all move the price.
How do I find a good videographer in Auckland?
In Auckland, watch full sample videos (not just showreels) in your style, confirm deliverables and revision rounds in writing, check insurance and drone certification if needed, and agree usage rights before booking. Judge editing quality as hard as camera work.
How many revisions are normal?
Two rounds is the industry standard, stated in the contract. 'Unlimited revisions' sounds generous but signals weak scope and often stalls projects. Consolidate your feedback into each round rather than drip-feeding changes, which burns paid time.
Who owns the footage and the final video?
Clarify this in writing. Usually the videographer licenses the final edit to you for agreed uses, and raw footage is extra or retained. If you need full ownership or broad usage rights (ads, broadcast), say so up front — it affects price and the contract.
Why does editing cost so much?
Because it's where most of the hours go. A day of filming can take several days to edit — cutting, colour grading, sound, motion graphics and revisions. When comparing quotes, check how much edited footage you get and how many revision rounds are included, not just the shoot day rate.
How much does videography cost?
It scales with crew, kit and post-production. A half-day single-videographer event shoot is the entry point; a full day costs more; a scripted corporate or promo video with a crew, multi-camera setup and edited deliverable is the top of the range. Editing time is often a large, separate part of the bill.
What does a videographer cost in New Zealand?
Half-day shoots typically run NZD 550-1,900, full days NZD 1,200-4,700, and corporate videos NZD 2,800-13,000.
