NBS Nelson Giants x Danielle Creative

For the 2025 NZNBL season I have been working with the NBS Nelson Giants as a Content Creator to produce high quality photo and video content to display on social channels. This is my second year creating content with this team, and I have had the best time. Looking back on my submission page last year I said the 2024 Season was the highlight of my career thus far - little did I know then how much more fun this season would be!

I feel our goals with social content haven’t changed much since last year. And that is create epic basketball content, while also showing that this team are more than just great basketball players, they’re also great people. We want to try bridge the gap between player and fan. Because it’s my second year with the team, I feel like I’ve been able to create content even more inline with these goals because of my existing relationships with the players and staff.

Below are examples of the types of video work that I’ve filmed and edited over the 2025 season.

(Please view this on a computer if possible, as it’s much easier to see they layout of content than on a phone haha)

Game Day Content

Game days are my favourite days during the season. I’ve put together a variety of different content pieces with footage all throughout game day. This includes shoot around the morning of game day, pre-game content, game day recaps, fan appreciation edits, player highlight reels, cool play clips and more. Towards the end of the season when we’ve started winning our home games, one of my goals with the content has been to capture the feeling in the TC and what it means to the team to win as we push for the playoffs. I hope this is evident through some of this content!

Team Vlogs Style Content

Something I have LOVED creating this year is our vlog/behind the scenes style content. I feel like this is a big point of difference for us and it’s been so much fun to document all the small moments that often don’t get shown in the life of a sports team. As well as that I got the privilege to go on two away trips with the team this season, so to document those was awesome. These types of videos have been great to show the team culture and the friendships that have formed within the group. Our Giants fans love this type of content.

Training Content

This season since late February I’ve been heading along to (often) two trainings a week to grab both photo & video content. I love that we’ve made shooting training content part of what we do at the Giants because I feel it’s a cool opportunity to showcase a bit of what goes on behind closed doors. It’s also a fun place for me to experiment with new ideas!

Nelson Airport Co-lab Content

This is part of our sponsorship deal with the Nelson Airport - every time the team travelled for an away game, I met them at the Nelson Airport and film all sorts of fun content. We spread the mic around different people in the team this season and had a lot of laughs each time. Here’s a few examples of the content we created!

Extra Content

Here you’ll find an array of content - an example of the interviews we shot on our Media Day, random videos, funny videos, meaningful videos, iPhone videos and some content that doesn’t really have a place other than just being entertaining content!

Sponsor / Partner Content

Below is some content we have created for/with sponsors and partners this season. One of our main sponsor pieces from the season is our ‘Junior Jurno’ series with Mike Pero, which consists of 11 videos of kids interviewing players spread throughout the season. Another was capturing our Giants Experience days- in collaboration with Tahuna Beach Holiday Park . These are an initiative where a primary school group will come in to a Giants training, learn about all about the Giants values, watch them train, then jump on court with them and have some fun. There’s also a couple of extra pieces here that have been created over the season.

Thank You!

Thank you for taking the time to look through my Nelson Giants Videography Portfolio, I hope you enjoyed watching the content as much as I have enjoyed creating it. This is just a small handful of the content I have created this season, if you want to check out even more content, feel free to take a look through the NBS Nelson Giants Instagram page here.
