Bauer Photography successfully filmed hundreds of events, making us a top video production company in Connecticut. The experience we gained recording weddings, conferences, and concerts prepared us for the challenges of larger events. We gathered our most seasoned video producers together. We inquired about the considerations they always make before beginning to film an event.
Do Your Part
We are strong advocates of making material that serves a specific function. We do our best to learn as much as possible about your event to create a video that is polished, professional, and free of hiccups. If videographers don’t have a list of participants, they shouldn’t start recording. Now that we have this information, we can begin making smart choices about how to proceed with the project.
Choose Your Tools
Various situations necessitate the use of specialized apparatus. We provide high-quality equipment to every event, but we also make sure it’s the right equipment to capture the special moments. We think about how many cameras we’ll need to bring, as well as the locations and crew members we’ll need to film. In order to record the speakers, we normally have to ask the event’s organizers for access to the PA desk and the microphones they’re using.
Assemble Your Team
Like training for the Olympics, filming a major event requires a group of top-tier performers. If you need to know who will be speaking and attending the event, you should probably contact the official in charge.
Filming an event will be much easier and less stressful if you have the correct crew.
Proper Lighting
Remember to carry your lighting gear in case you need to film an interview at an event or concert venue, as these spaces are typically dimly lit. This incident serves as a stark reminder that such areas are notoriously unsuitable for filming. If the people you’re shooting are on stage, they’ll already have adequate lighting directed at them, so you don’t have to worry about that. If shooting outside, you’ll also need to account for how the sun’s rays will change during the day.
Schedule Editing Sessions
Video editing for events is typically stressful due to the quick turnaround time required (typically 24 hours or less). For this reason, you’ll need to have editors on hand who can start working on a video on the spot. They are also free to do the editing anywhere close by if they like. If they are on-site, you will need to find a quiet place with reliable Internet access to facilitate a smooth editing session.
Prepare for the Unexpected
Producing an excellent event film requires preparing your crew for chaos. Expect the best, but be ready for the worst. And if you run into issues, try to find and implement solutions as soon as feasible. Your self-control and planning skills will be put to the test.
Successfully filming an event requires lots of preparation, organization, and patience. We’re the ones to call if you need a video production business in Connecticut that can do it all.
