FAQs
Can you provide photography as well as video?
I can, head over to my Event Photography page to find more information on this.
Can you deliver same day or next day highlights?
Yes. Same day is possible for short, social-first cuts if we have a table and power near the action. Next day gives more polish and usually suits conferences best.
How do you capture clean audio in large rooms and panel sessions?
We take a feed from the venue desk and record backups on our side. We also carry our own mics as backup
Can you work with the venue’s in-house AV team?
Yes. We slot in with their plan, share cues, and agree who does what.
Can you cover multiple rooms or stages at once?
Yes. We plan crew across rooms with a clear run sheet and shared shot list. For busy schedules we add a runner and stagger key moments where possible.
Do you offer live to screen / IMAG and a clean program record?
Yes. We can feed the venue screens and supply a clean program record. Isolated camera records can be added on request.
Can you film quick speaker or exhibitor interviews on the day?
Yes. We keep these short and light so they do not disrupt the flow. Ideal between sessions or during quiet stand times.
What do you need from us before the event?
Ideally dates, rooms, run of show, must-have moments, and any do-not-film guidance.
How far in advance should we book?
We can often help at short notice, but 2–4 weeks secures the right crew..
What deliverables and formats do we get?
Typical sets include full session records, a 60–90 second highlight, and short clips for social. We can export for all social media aspect ratios. Exports in 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16. Captions on request.
How are files delivered and named?
Via Google Drive (or WeTransfer if you prefer). Files are clearly labelled by event, date and session so your team can find things fast.
Are you insured and DBS checked?
Yes. Full public liability insurance is in place and we hold a clean DBS. Risk assessments are available on request.
