We loved hearing how much you liked our first ever ‘Crazy week this week!’ series on Stories 🙌💚

You might have seen the view behind the scenes from shoots all over the Hutt Valley and Wellington last week.

In case you missed it, here it is forever immortalised on reels 🤣

The crazy week does not end here, now it’s time for the editing and delivery + more shoots of course!

Need quality photos and videos of your work? 📸

We’ve been loving the views capturing video and photos from roofs for our friends at Above Focus Roofing.

They trusted us to get great content for their Tailwind Branding & Design website, and social media.

Whether it’s on a roof or in your office, we will do what it takes to get the best for your business!

Your sneak peek at what a HOWIE shoot day looks like 👀

Tareq and Liam recently ventured out shooting around the Hutt Valley to capture some of the amazing businesses that are proud to call the Hutt home, with our friends at Hutt Valley NZ.

Being Hutt-based ourselves, we love shooting in our own backyard too 🎬

It was a full day of filming and a lot of fun working with the awesome teams at RIPE Coffee Company and Froth Technologies.

Now? The editing kicks in on an exciting new video series!

We’re usually the ones behind the camera…for good reason!

When filming we are thinking about the little details as we go. Like how to get the best angle, the right lighting, or the coolest action 🤩🎥

Tareq was clearly thinking deeply about all of these factors (and more), at our recent shoot with Masterton Trust Lands Trust.

Q: So how’s AI impacting our video and photo work? 🤖🤷‍♂️

A: It is saving us time in some of our behind-the-scenes processes. It helps with quick retouching, colour grading, faster turnarounds and in some instances improving quality.

But here’s the reality 👇

AI can assist, but it can’t replace your REAL people and REAL stories.

The magic still comes from real human connection, direction, and storytelling. That’s something AI just can’t replicate (for now at least 😉).

Real content stands out among all the AI too!

Team HOWIE Strategy Day 2026 🧐🗒️

Once a quarter, our team gets together for a day of dedicated time to review our goals, and plan how to best serve our customers.

It was a full day!

We started with review and planning at Whakamaru, The Wellington City Mission’s new home.

Then an EPIC lunch at Burger Liquor followed by more planning goodness!

To finish, we tried our hands at rock climbing at Faultline Climbing - some of us were better than others 😉

We’ve come away refreshed and ready to continue delivering the GREEN standard of work you’ve come to expect 💚

How cool are these mini-stories for Masterton Trust Lands Trust 🖼️

Masterton Trust Lands Trust (MTLT) is a community-owned charitable trust dedicated to reinvesting in the people and places that make Wairarapa so special.

We’ve loved working with our friends at About Clean Lower Hutt over the last year 🧼

About Clean Lower Hutt partnered with us to bring their story to life. Top of their goals was growing their new brand and showing their points of difference, by showcasing their product range, expert staff and buying experience 🛍️

We’ve created dynamic videos and photos, including hands-on product demonstrations, eye-catching seasonal campaigns, and engaging content and regular ad spend that powers their social media presence and website.

We can’t recommend About Clean enough! Talk to Mat from Lower Hutt, Abhi from Auckland, and Rick from Christchurch the next time you need cleaning supplies.
