Production Support

Kingsize supports shoots across New Zealand.

We work with international and local productions, providing studios, equipment, and practical support to help everything run smoothly on the ground.

Send us your brief, or just send us your list.
We’ll help turn it into a working shoot.

What we do

• Support full productions alongside your team
• Source crew, gear, locations, and logistics
• Solve problems quickly, including last-minute or hard-to-source items
• Support both studio and location shoots nationwide

We work with producers, agencies, photographers, assistants, and direct clients.
We’re part of the process of getting shoots done here.

Working in New Zealand

New Zealand offers a wide range of locations within short travel distances.

Urban, coastal, alpine, and rural environments are all accessible within a compact system.

Crews here are experienced, practical, and adaptable.
You can move quickly and still achieve high production value.

What to know

New Zealand is efficient, but it is not a large market.

• Equipment quantities can be limited compared to cities like Sydney or New York
• Advance planning matters for larger builds
• Local knowledge makes a real difference to speed and cost

We’ll guide you on what to bring and what to source here.

Preparation and setup

We can prepare and pre-build lighting and equipment setups in advance of your shoot.

This includes:

• lighting setups ready to shoot
• large or complex builds
• green screen setups
• overhead frames and diffusion
• boom arms and rigging
• multi-light configurations
• camera-ready testing environments

This is a separate service and needs to be booked in advance.

Why this helps

Many shoots benefit from arriving to a fully prepared setup.

This allows:

• faster shoot start times
• fewer crew required on the day
• reduced technical risk
• better use of studio time

Important

Setup and breakdown require time and staff.

• charged as labour
• larger builds may require multiple crew
• last-minute requests may not be possible

If your shoot requires a prepared setup, please flag this early.

Gear and outbound support

We also support New Zealand photographers shooting overseas.

• packing and freight strategy
• carnet and logistics guidance
• return and reintegration
