Moore Construction
Client: Moore Construction
Sector: Civil Construction / Structural Concrete / Infrastructure
Location: Christchurch & Queenstown, New Zealand
Film Type: Brand Story + Project Showcase
Your Role: Director / Cinematographer / Editor
Overview
Moore Construction is a specialist civil and concrete team known for delivering high-precision piling, bridge foundations, structural concrete and complex earthworks across Canterbury and the Southern Lakes. They’re the crew that gets called when a job needs to be done right — deep foundations, technically difficult ground conditions, remote sites and infrastructure that has to last.
I was asked to create two film projects for Moore Construction:
A bridge installation story in Queenstown — capturing one of their signature infrastructure builds.
A brand-story film for their new Queenstown office — showcasing the team, their projects, and their capability across the region.
These projects highlight the scale, craftsmanship and professionalism that define the Moore Construction ethos.
The Approach
1. Bridge Build – Queenstown
For the bridge project, I spent multiple days on-site capturing:
The piling process
Rebar, formwork and structural prep
Crane lifts
Bridge placement
The crew working in tight, technical conditions
The scale of the river and surrounding natural environment
Filming included:
Aerial coverage to show the engineering context
On-ground action shots of the install
Timelapse of the bridge placement
Close-up detail work to show craftsmanship
Candid crew moments to bring personality into the story
The goal was to give Moore a flagship infrastructure showcase they could use for tenders, client acquisition, and capability statements.
2. Queenstown Office Film
For the brand-story film, we captured:
Interviews with Reece and key team members
B-roll at three project sites across Queenstown
Crew working on high-end residential, commercial foundations and concrete pours
Scenic location context — alpine landscapes, lakeside builds, and hillside sites
Clean office sequences to introduce the new Queenstown base
The visual goal was clean, honest, rugged-but-professional construction filmmaking that reflected the region they operate in
Planning something similar? Let’s talk.
If your construction or civil team needs capability storytelling, project documentation or branded film assets, I can handle full production — from planning and shooting to editing and delivery.
The Outcome
The combined footage formed:
A full brand-story film to support the launch of the Queenstown division
A standalone project film demonstrating major infrastructure capability
A library of high-quality B-roll for future marketing
Social cutdowns and short edits for internal and client communications
These films have helped Moore Construction:
Showcase their technical skill
Communicate their scale and professionalism
Support tenders and council applications
Build trust with clients in both Christchurch and the Southern Lakes
The bridge film in particular has become a hero piece for demonstrating their ability to execute complex, high-precision engineering in remote environments.
