Event video production in Ireland

Most clients want a highlight film that shows what the day felt like, with a few words from speakers or guests. Our event films run from one to three minutes. They work on your website, in the marketing for next year’s event and in reports to sponsors or funders.

From the same footage we can also make:

• full recordings of keynotes and panels
• short interviews or vox pops with attendees
• social cut-downs for LinkedIn, Instagram and TikTok
• teaser trailers to promote the next event

Full talks mean more footage to edit, so they’re part of the price, and if they’re going online we take clean sound from the venue’s desk and a direct feed of the slides. Captions, titles and name graphics come with every edit. We can also send a photographer, so you get stills from the same team. Films arrive on Vimeo, where you can leave comments at the exact moment you want changed, so feedback is quick and clear. Photos come in a shared Google Drive folder.

A livestream is planned like any other shoot, with the broadcast on top. Before the day we visit the venue for a recce (a site visit). We check the internet connection, the sound desk, how the slides will reach us and where our cameras and power can go. We do this for every livestream, because most problems on the day come from something nobody tested.

There are two main setups. A single camera streaming to one platform suits a talk, a town hall or a training session. For conferences and panels we bring several cameras and switch between them live on our ATEM Mini Pro ISO vision mixer, so people watching online see the speaker, the slides and the room.

We can stream to YouTube, LinkedIn, Microsoft Teams, Zoom or a private link. The ATEM records each camera separately, so if you’d like the stream as a film afterwards, we can edit it once the event is over.

• How to plan a successful livestream event for your business

Most of the kit comes with us: the cameras, the switcher and the streaming hardware. A few things come from the venue, including the microphones on the podium and the panel, and the recce is where we confirm them:

• a wired internet connection with at least 10–20 Mbps upload, kept for the stream rather than shared with guests
• access to the sound desk, so the stream takes clean audio from the microphones already in use
• a feed of the slides, or the files in advance, so viewers see them sharp rather than filmed off a screen
• power near our setup, ideally on a different circuit from the coffee machines
• one to two hours in the room before the doors open, for setup and a test stream

If the venue has its own sound or AV technician, we work with them on the day. Our livestream setup checklist, in the guides below, goes through each item in more detail.

We travel. We’re based at DCU Innovate in Glasnevin, Dublin, and we film events all over Ireland, and sometimes in the UK. A regional conference or a festival on the coast doesn’t need a different crew.

Travel is worked out from our base to your venue and back, and it’s built into your fixed quote, so it never turns up as a surprise on the invoice. If the venue is a long way from Dublin, or the day starts early or finishes late, we add an overnight stay where it’s needed and tell you before you book.

For a livestream, the recce visit is part of the plan wherever the venue is. When you ask for a quote, tell us the venue and the times. That’s what the travel cost is based on, and it means the price you see is the price you pay.

Good event films start with the run of show. Send it to us as early as you can and mark the moments that matter: the keynote, the award presentations, the product reveal, the panel everyone came for. We plan the cameras around each one, and the coverage around the kind of day it is: clean stage sound at a conference, a camera moving through the crowd at a festival.

A few other things make a real difference:

• Book early. Four to eight weeks ahead is ideal, and more in the busy conference season. If your event is sooner, ask anyway: we’ll tell you honestly if we can do it well.
• Line up interviews. Tell speakers and guests in advance that we’d like a few words on camera.
• Decide the edits up front. If you want cut-downs or full talks, we film with them in mind.
• Share a film you like. A reference makes it much easier to agree on the style.

Before the day you get a production plan: one shared page with the call sheet, the shot list and the logistics, so everyone on your side knows what’s happening and when.
