We all know how much time and money goes into organising a conference, flying in the keynote speaker, getting 300 people to the venue plus planning the schedule so it will all run smoothly.
A 2-day conference or seminar will contain between 12 and 16 hours of presentations. Ask yourself though will anybody want to watch a video of even half that length?
Many people choose to keep a record of their conference by having a video made but what’s the best way to go about it?
I’m going to share with you my experience from filming and attending an untold number of conferences and seminars.

How to plan the conference

So there are a number of key questions you need to ask:
what will your audience be interested in?
will different sections of the audience be interested in different parts of the conference or seminar?
what do you want to achieve by making a video and who is your potential market?
what are the key messages from the conference or seminar?
How will they see the video after the event?

A1 Conference Video Production can then help you devise a approach for your conference or seminar video that will succeed.
What is the lighting like? Are the ceilings low?

Right so you’ve avoided those pitfalls. On the day:

A1 Conference Video Production will always take a minimum of 2 cameras, synced up. Any less and the video would become very boring very quickly.
if the conference or seminar is illustrated with Powerpoint or Keynote slides or a software demo, we would capture that separately as it offers us more control during the editing process. This always provides higher quality than shooting the screen at the event.
Do you need any media producing for the conference? We can produce promotional videos, video messages from distant speakers, video graphics and anything else you may require. Feel free to talk to us about your needs.

After the Conference…

we put together an MP4 rough cut for your approval, which will tell the story.
We can also organise for duplication should you need it.
DVD’s to provide to the attendees? Let us know and we will produce
