New Zealand Snowpsorts Instructor’s Alliance Photography & Web

Client: NZSIA

Z

Completed: June 2017

Here at 360nz we have a strong relationship with the NZSIA, as longterm members of the organisation. After being involved with a rebrand for the non-profit organisation, we were asked to perform a website redesign in a very short space of time.

As part of the redesign, we needed to migrate two additional WordPress sites/databases, combining all three into one WordPress Multisite. This was a mammoth task given that the databases had over 8000 users.

The whole project was completed in just over two weeks, complete with membership database integration (with external software), a completely new architecture and navigation, and an e-learning platform that we’ve helped to build and work on continuously.

Completed: April 2016

Viking Roofspec approached us initially to shoot some aerial image content. After a quick turnaround job in Queenstown, they decided to contract us for a larger time lapse shoot in Wanaka.

Viking Roofspec had a new style of roofing they were installing at a Wanaka residential property, with the help of local contractors Watertight Solutions. Their goal was to time lapse the roof installation from multiple angles, with the aim of creating a piece of marketing marketing as well as a instructional-style video.

The finished product was showcased at a conference they held in Fiji, attended by Viking’s contractors from around New Zealand. Watch the video here…

About Viking RoofSpec

Viking Roofspec is a market leading provider of quality roofing and waterproofing materials. Whether it’s a home or commercial building, Viking’s roofing, decking and below-ground waterproofing systems, keep water out and ensure it stays out for good.

“At Viking Roofspec we wanted to create a time lapse video to show architects, developers and builders how easy our WarmSpan roofing system was to install. We were just about to start a project with our Applicator, Watertight Systems, so we commissioned the team at 360 to create the video for us. Keith and the team produced an outstanding video, supported with images. The video has been used extensively in our business – it is such a great tool for showing the key advantages of WarmSpan and how easy it is to install. It has lead to specifications for the product and enhanced our brand image with key architects.

Keith was outstanding to work with, taking care of all the details from creative design, to managing delays and then the ongoing support to produce a top class video. We are keen to do complete this type of work again and would have no hesitation working with 360 New Zealand again.”

As part of an on-going relationship between 360nz and Treble Cone, we create and maintain a comprehensive, resort-wide virtual tour that also shows their trail maps and begins with an aerial panorama.

We spent a few seasons working closely with Treble Cone Marketing to ensure the 360 panoramas were shot with optimal snow conditions and morning light. We then added an aerial panorama, which creates a certain wow-factor for the viewer.

Take your time to explore the whole mountain using the hot spot arrow icons or the trail map in the top left…

Client: Bendemeer, Queenstown

Z

Completed: February 2013

This project began as an individual section shoot for Bendemeer’s premium lots and a virtual tour for their events venue The Bendemeer Woolshed in Queenstown. As our 360 panoramas proved so successful in aiding sales, the client decided to have further panoramas shot for every section available. We then turned these panos into a full virtual, complete with a lot map. The tour begins at the lake house, setting the tranquility of the area perfectly. Not only did we provide the full virtual tour of the whole development, but we included embedding codes to place each individual panorama on the relevant pages of the client’s website.

On completion of this project, we were further commissioned to shoot a few short time lapse projects and a higher-level production promotional video, created to help tell their story. The aim of the video was not only to capture the rural essence of Bendemeer’s location, but their strong community vibe, with lifestyle and personality as the core values. It was important to present Bendemeer as an exclusive lifestyle product that is still touchable and wholesome, yet edgy.
