An Event Lasts a Day. The Footage Keeps Working.
A lot of effort goes into an event, and most of it is gone when the room empties. We film it so the talks, the atmosphere and the conversations can still be used afterwards: for people who could not attend, for sponsors, and for promoting next year's event.
Depending on the brief, we cover it as reportage, stream it live or cut it into a short recap film. Many events combine all three.
Events we film
What We Focus On at Each One.
Conferences and forums
Keynotes, panels and breakout sessions in full, plus delegate interviews and the atmosphere between sessions.
Presentations and launches
The announcement, the reactions and short interviews, so the launch can be shared with people who were not in the room.
Team-building days
Natural, unposed coverage of people taking part, for internal communication and recruitment.
Openings
Arrivals, speeches and the moment itself, along with the new premises, for press and your website.
Company celebrations
Awards, anniversaries and parties: the speeches, the people and a film your staff will want to watch.
Coverage
Three Ways to Cover It.
Reportage filming
We follow the event as it happens: speakers, conversations, the room. You get the moments that mattered without staging anything or getting in the way of guests.
- Stage and audience coverage
- Short interviews with speakers and guests
- General views of the venue, stands and networking
- Full session recordings on request
Live stream
A live feed to your chosen platform, for an audience that cannot be in the room. We check the venue connection in advance and agree a backup plan, since a stream is only as reliable as its internet connection.
- Camera mixing from the venue
- Speaker titles and holding slides
- Sound taken from the venue system
- Public or private streaming, where the platform allows
- A recording of the stream for later
Recap film
A short summary film for your website, sponsors and next year's marketing. It gives people a feel for the event and the reasons to come back.
- Highlights of speakers and the room
- Music, titles and your branding
- Short cuts for social media
- Versions for sponsors or partners
What You Can Have Afterwards
Full session recordings
Talks and panels for delegates who missed them, or for members-only access.
Recap film
One to two minutes of highlights for your website and next year's promotion.
Social clips
Short vertical moments and quotes to post during and after the event.
Speaker clips
Individual highlights that each speaker can share with their own audience.
Interviews
Delegates and partners in their own words, for marketing and sponsor reports.
Stream archive
The live broadcast, tidied and ready to publish on demand.
On the day
How an Event Shoot Runs.
What we need from you
- Running order and speaker list
- One contact on the day who can make decisions
- Venue contact, access times and rules
- Power points and, for streaming, a wired internet connection
- A list of key people and moments not to miss
Before the day
We go through the running order, the key people and the venue rules, and agree who to contact on site.
Before doors open
Camera positions, sound and lighting are set and checked with the venue team.
During sessions
Stage coverage, audience reactions and any short interviews you have asked for.
Breaks and networking
General views of the room, stands and conversations, filmed with care around anyone who would rather not appear.
After the event
Footage is backed up, then edited to the plan and sent to you for review.
Questions
Planning Your Event Coverage.
How many cameras do we need?
One operator suits a highlights film. Two or more give you both stage and audience views. A live stream usually needs several, with someone mixing between them. We advise once we have seen the running order and the room.
How is sound recorded?
Directly from the venue's sound desk where possible, with a separate backup recording. We speak to the venue's technical team before the day.
How quickly can we have the recap?
This is agreed in advance. If you need clips during the event or a first cut straight afterwards, we build that into the crew and the schedule.
Can you cover events lasting several days?
Yes. We plan coverage across each day and back up the footage at the end of each one.
Will the crew get in the way?
We dress to suit the event, work from agreed positions and settle in advance what can and cannot be filmed.
Can a stream be limited to invited viewers?
Yes, where the chosen platform supports it, for example through a private link or a password. Tell us who needs access and we will suggest an option.
