- Photography of livestock, operations, landscapes and people
Working safely and practically on active farms
Farming operations run to their own schedule, and Parallax Films works around that rather than against it. Agricultural shoots often start early and finish late, and the team is experienced in managing long days in rural and high country conditions across Canterbury and further afield.
The team has extensive experience working around livestock, farm machinery and the full range of conditions that come with a functioning farm environment. Animals are unpredictable, and the team knows how to work patiently and safely alongside them. Drone operations are carried out under CAA 102 certification, with particular attention to animal behaviour and farm biosecurity requirements when flying in agricultural settings.
Who is agricultural video and photography suited to?
This work is designed for dairy, sheep and crop farming operations, agribusinesses and food producers, rural technology and equipment companies, vets and rural professional services, rural industry associations and conference organisers, and primary sector organisations promoting New Zealand produce internationally.
Projects typically take place over one or two days on a single property, or across multiple locations over a longer period, depending on the scope. Both approaches suit the realities of the rural environment.
Parallax Films is based in Canterbury and works on agricultural projects throughout New Zealand. The team understands the rural sector and the practical realities of producing high-quality visual content in a working farm environment.

Yes. The team is experienced in working on active farming operations across Canterbury and throughout New Zealand. This includes working around livestock, farm machinery and the unpredictable conditions that come with a working farm environment. Agricultural shoots often involve early starts and long days, and the team plans around the farm's existing schedule rather than interrupting it. Drone operations are carried out under CAA 102 certification, with specific care taken around animal welfare and biosecurity when flying on working properties.
Yes. Aerial drone footage is one of the most requested elements for agricultural projects, providing sweeping overviews of land, crops, livestock operations and farm infrastructure that cannot be achieved from the ground. All drone operations are carried out by a certified pilot holding CAA 102 approval, with additional consideration given to livestock behaviour and farm biosecurity requirements when operating in agricultural settings.
