About
Hello, I'm Emma Robinson and I have more than twenty-five years experience in all aspects of film, video and television production.
2021 got off to a roaring start joining the Gibson Group team on an exciting project directing multimedia content for the new Cambridge Stud Heritage Centre.
While the first half of this year has been about all things equine, 2020 was a different story. Along with COVID-19 interruptions I was immersed in the history of 19th century migration for the Texas Seaport Museum. Gibson Group is producing the new Ship to Shore exhibition and I was delighted to write and direct the AV content. After three false starts we finally filmed for a week at Lot23 in Auckland, bringing together 35 actors to tell the stories of those who settled in Galveston, Texas 1850 - 1900.
Closer to home, Gibson Group have been busy producing the new Len & Vera Southward exhibition at Southward Car Museum and I got to ride in the McLaren while directing the promotional video.

Having started my professional life as an actor, I still enjoy presenting and doing voiceovers, most recently for the surrealist art exhibition opening at Te Papa in June. |

My first directing work doubled with presenting when I joined award-winning rural report programme, No.8 Wired. My story Rural Nurse won the runner-up BNZ Rongo Excellence in Agricultural Journalism Award. After four years seeing the country I moved to arts and current affairs show Frontseat then directed TVNZ documentary Behind the Scenes at the Lexus: SongQuest 2005.
Over the past 15 years I’ve produced a wide range of video content for the Ministry of Social Development, E Tu Whanau, Breast Cancer Aotearoa Coalition, Barnados NZ, and Save the Children (NZ).
The 2011 Rugby World Cup saw me return to Gibson Group producing video and display content for over 40 innovative NZ businesses at The Cloud, on Auckland's waterfront.
It was a great pleasure to spend a week at Curio Bay in 2017, directing and editing 13 x 1 minute videos for The Curio Guide at Curioscape (Gibson Group). View the compilation video here.
My work with E Tu Whanau continued in 2019 interviewing rangitahi and community leaders at Waiwhetu Marae in Lower Hutt and at the PALMS/Rangitahi hui in Rotorua.
The final project for 2020 was shooting content for Charlotte Yates’ latest music video. The finished product is due for release in 2021.
I’m a graduate of Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School, studied photography at Photofusion Photography Centre, London and creative writing at Victoria University’s International Institute of Modern Letters in Wellington. My writing and photography is published in print and in online journals.
For any still or moving image content requirements give me a call or email.
