Event Video Production – Capture and Share Your Story

15 Aug

Event video production brings your conference, interview, or brand activation to life with professional visuals and audio that connect with your audience. Whether you’re looking to showcase highlights from a corporate event, create engaging content for social media, or produce a series of interviews with key speakers, the right production approach ensures your message is delivered with impact.

Why Event Video Production Matters

In today’s fast-moving media landscape, video remains the most effective format for grabbing attention and retaining audience interest. A well-produced event video can extend the life of your event far beyond the day itself, allowing you to share content with those who couldn’t attend and repurpose it for marketing, business growth, training, or internal communications. It’s a way to capture not just what happened, but how it felt to be there.

My Approach to Event Video Production

I cover events with a run and gun style, keeping gear light enough to move quickly while still maintaining high production quality. My Sony FX3 handles low-light environments without the need for elaborate setups, but if there’s time, we can add lighting to enhance interviews or staged moments.

When covering events, I focus on:

Capturing the key moments without interrupting the flow of the event.
Maintaining high-quality audio, especially for interviews and presentations.
Delivering a variety of shots for an engaging final edit, including wide shots, close-ups, and audience reactions.

If your event allows, I also incorporate drone footage using my Mavic 3 Pro Cine with Hasselblad cameras for cinematic aerial shots.

Types of Event Videos I Offer

I don’t produce long-form coverage of entire speeches or multi-hour presentations. Instead, I focus on impactful content such as:

Event highlight reels
Short social media edits
Speaker interviews and attendee testimonials
Branded recaps for internal and external audiences
Commercial and corporate event coverage

Factors That Influence Event Video Production Rates

While the table gives you an idea of package pricing, the final quote will always depend on:

Event location and travel requirements
Duration of filming and post-production
Number of crew members required (I work solo unless otherwise agreed)
Editing complexity and number of revisions
Commercial usage rights and licensing requirements

How I Work With Clients

Before filming, I always arrange a consultation to understand your goals, key messages, and intended audience. For a half-day video, expect around half a day of editing, plus travel time. A simple 4-hour shoot for a 1–2 minute final video usually involves:

Footage capture (2-4hrs)
Music licensing
Editing (equal time as the shoot, if not longer depending on complexity)
One revision included (any changes needed due to things not quite being 100%)

If you’d like photography alongside your event video, this can be added for an additional half-day rate.

When to Choose Event Video Production Over Photography Alone

While still images are powerful for marketing, video captures tone, emotion, and atmosphere in a way that photography alone cannot. Many clients choose to combine the two for maximum coverage, especially for commercial events where the investment can generate ongoing marketing content.

Event Video Production – FAQs

What types of events do you cover?

I cover a range of events including corporate functions, live interviews, product launches, and special occasions. My focus is on high-quality highlight films and interview reels rather than full uncut recordings of hour-long speeches.

Do you offer drone footage for events?

Yes. I use a DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine with multiple focal lengths and a Hasselblad camera, ideal for capturing striking aerial views of venues, crowds, and outdoor settings, where safe and permitted.

Do you work alone or with a team?

I operate as a solo shooter for most events, keeping costs efficient while still delivering professional quality results.

How long will the finished video be?

Typical event highlight videos are 1–3 minutes long, but custom lengths can be produced depending on your requirements.

What’s your filming style?

I use a run-and-gun style to capture natural, in-the-moment action. If time and space allow, I can also add lighting for a more cinematic look.

How quickly can you deliver the final video?

Most projects are delivered within 1–2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the edit and any requested revisions.

Final Thoughts

Event video production is one of the most effective ways to amplify your message, whether for a brand launch, interview series, or corporate function. With the right planning, coverage, and editing, your event content can work for you long after the day has ended.
