Launch content for a new Central Otago day spa

Pure Senses is a new day spa at Mount Pisa, near Cromwell. We shot its launch content: the exterior hero image, captured at 6am before sunrise so the building glows against the sky, plus film and behind-the-scenes across the spa, from the Finnish sauna and infrared cabin to the Japanese head spa in The Reset Studio.

The hero image was delivered for Pure Senses' QT Magazine spread. The interior stills were shot by photographer Kirsten Summers, who we worked alongside on the day.

Spas are tricky rooms to shoot: small wet spaces that need a genuinely wide lens, and coloured LED and neon light that bands on camera unless the shutter is set up for it. We planned for both before we arrived.

Cromwell Winery Cruises · Lake Dunstan

Selling a Central Otago experience in 30 seconds

Cromwell Winery Cruises takes guests by boat across Lake Dunstan to Central Otago's wineries. We filmed and photographed the experience: the autumn colour on the water, the boat, the walk up to the cellar door and the tasting itself, and cut it into a 30-second vertical promo for social.

Tourism content has one job, which is to make someone want to be there. So we shot it the way a guest feels it, on the water and at the table, rather than as a tour of the facilities.

What we make for brands

Brand and hero films

A short film that shows what your place or product feels like, for your website, launch and ads.

Hero and website photography

The key images your website, press and listings run on, shot in the light that suits them. See photography.

Behind-the-scenes content

Vertical, ready-to-post video from the shoot itself, so the launch has content before the main film is finished.

Campaign and ad content

Creative and copy built for the feed, and campaigns taken live in Meta Ads Manager, like our Think Blue Tree ad.

A website to match

A fast site or landing page built around the new content. See websites and apps.

Frequently asked questions

Can you shoot video and photos on the same day?

Yes, and most brand clients do. One crew, one production day, and you walk away with both a video and a photo library.

Do you only work with Queenstown businesses?

We work across Queenstown, Wanaka, Cromwell and Central Otago, and travel elsewhere in New Zealand for the right project.
