Filming In Wellington NZ
Climate
Nothing beats Wellington on a good day. Virtually pollution free, it makes for brilliant light and colours. In fact, Wellington gets more sunshine than Auckland, Melbourne and London and less rain than Auckland and Sydney.
Apart from the temperature differences you’d expect, there aren’t too many seasonal variations in our weather. So any time of the year is a good time to make us your film destination.
Or if you’d rather blue-screen it, there’s always our sensational new sound stage.
