Videography is in our DNA. In 1952, we became the first in New Zealand to demonstrate a television broadcast — nearly a decade before TV officially launched. We were also one the first to deliver professional video coverage of sporting events in Aotearoa.
At Shipleys, we capture every moment with precision and professionalism, helping you share your story, promote your brand, and extend your reach. From large-scale conferences to intimate gatherings, we deliver high-quality video production for any kind of event, as well as promotional, corporate, and creative content.
Over the years, we’ve worked with major international agencies like Saatchi & Saatchi and TMP Reynell, and produced content for some of the world’s most recognisable brands.
We’re large enough to deliver at scale, and small enough to treat every project with the care it deserves. So whether you're creating content for social media, showcasing an event to future attendees, or telling your story to the world — we're here to help bring your vision to life.
Shipleys excels in live event coverage, utilizing broadcast ENG cameras, PTZ technology, and cinema cameras to deliver unparalleled visual quality. Whether it's corporate conferences, product launches, award ceremonies, or musical performances, our videography services capture every moment with cinematic precision.
Our team of highly experienced camera operators works seamlessly with our advanced lighting technicians to ensure each shot is perfectly illuminated, enhancing the visual impact of your event. Backed by state-of-the-art vision mixers, graphics engines, transmission equipment, and studio production computers, Shipleys stands at the forefront of live event coverage capabilities.
With a commitment to excellence in videography, we make sure your event is not just recorded but artistically documented to leave a lasting impression.
With a long and respected history in videography services, Shipleys has been a pioneer in New Zealand's broadcasting landscape. Over 70 years ago, we became the first company in the country to broadcast a live stream at the Christchurch Industries Fair—eight years before the first television transmission in New Zealand.
Today, we leverage that pioneering spirit by offering extensive streaming services through our dedicated Production Department, which works closely with our Audiovisual Team. We collaborate with you on branding and streaming platform choices and always ensure everything is captured to the highest standard.
After the event, our in-house team expertly edits the content to refine and enhance it, and can provide prompt on-demand access for your audience.
At Shipleys, we offer professional video editing services designed to enhance your existing footage. Whether you need to clean up audio, adjust lighting, or add simple graphics, our skilled editors refine your videos to the highest standard.
We specialise in tasks like removing background noise, colour correction, trimming and merging clips, and improving overall video quality. Working closely with you, we ensure the final product aligns with your vision and effectively communicates your message.
With our efficient turnaround times, you can quickly share your polished videos with your audience, confident they meet the high-quality standards you expect.
At Shipleys, we specialise in creating compelling promotional videos that capture the essence of your events and products.
Our expertise includes producing highlight reels post-event, which are powerful tools for attracting attendees to future events and expanding your audience reach. By distilling memorable moments into dynamic short clips, we help you amplify your marketing efforts across social media and other platforms.
These highlight reels not only generate external interest but also serve as engaging showcases for your internal teams, highlighting successes and fostering team unity. Whether you're a start-up bringing a new product to market or an established company looking to maximise event impact, our promotional videos elevate your brand and drive engagement.
Preserving cherished memories captured on outdated formats like VHS tapes and DV Cam is more important than ever.
Converting these precious recordings into digital files ensures that special moments like birthdays, weddings, and family gatherings are not lost to time.
Relive those joyful occasions anytime and make it easy to share them with loved ones and future generations.
We handle your memories with the utmost care, enhancing and preserving them so you can continue to celebrate your family's story. Let us help you keep these moments alive for years to come.
Our videography solutions are built to adapt—whether you're filming a product showcase, streaming a keynote, or capturing cinematic footage. We work with an extensive range of camera formats to suit every situation. This includes full-frame cinema cameras for storytelling and creative depth, ENG-style broadcast cameras for live events, and PTZ units for discrete, remotely-operated angles. We also use miniature POV cameras and drones for unique perspectives where traditional setups won't work.
Every production is different, so we tailor our equipment and crew to suit the brief—whether that's a single-operator shoot or a full multi-cam environment with live switching, recording, and streaming. Our experienced team handles it all: planning, filming, editing, and delivery. With a strong understanding of framing, lighting, and storytelling, we work with speed and care to bring your content to life.
You bring the vision—we bring the tools to make it happen, smoothly and professionally.
With roots going back to the 1920s and a dedicated production team since the 1960s, Shipleys has a long-standing history in visual storytelling. We’ve grown with the industry—from reel-to-reel film and analogue editing to today’s digital, multi-platform production environments.
Our work spans corporate communications, brand films, training videos, concerts, conferences, and livestreamed events, with clients ranging from local businesses to international organisations. What sets us apart is our practical, solution-focused approach. We combine technical knowledge with creative thinking and offer full production support—from planning and scripting to delivery and distribution.
Whether you're filming in a boardroom, a theatre, or a paddock, we show up prepared and professional. And while our standards are high, our pricing remains realistic.
