That's a wrap on NYPA 2026! 16 reels in three days - that's a video every 3 hours!

The focus is engaging Performing Arts Competitions Association of NZ young, dancer audience competing in Palmerston North so we pushed out local recommendations, sponsor and partner promotions, as well as behind-the-scenes explainer videos of how the week will run.

It's a super intense, fun week that we look forward to every year. Bring on 2027!

It's an absolute pleasure to work with such a committed, fun and up-for-anything team.

As a long-time video production partner of Trevelyan's Pack and Cool Ltd we recognise the special culture they've built on site. From the waves between colleagues to the way everyone jumped in to help, it's obvious this is a team that enjoys being at work. That ease sits alongside genuine pride and a sharp eye for detail, creating an environment conducive to great work.

Can’t wait to see this induction video come together in the edit!

It was awesome to be involved in this project in the place we live and love. Filming in the Bay is truly one of a kind and something we never take for granted. Thanks for having us on board Film Bay of Plenty!

From famous locals to picturesque landscapes – a new promotional video gives a “peek behind the curtain” at what the Bay of Plenty offers filmmakers.

The countdown is on. NYPA (National Young Performer Awards) is back in October, and this will be our fourth year covering it!

NYPA is New Zealand's largest performing arts competition for performers 18 and under, spanning singing, dancing, musical theatre and acting. We started working with them to create an event highlights film and explainer video in 2022, and we've been invited back every year since.

Each year the scope has grown: hype films, vertical social content, same-day edits released live across the four day event, as well as discipline explainers for prospective entrants. That growing library has become a real pitching tool for NYPA too, helping them secure more funding and sponsorship by showing exactly how the event inspires young performers.

Here's a glimpse into the incredible mahi put in by young performers across NZ. Can't wait to be back on the ground again this October.

What’s it like filming in the Bay?

We could tell you.

But we’d rather show you.
