The presenter & the material
We plan sightlines, camera angles and clear speech around how the session is actually taught. Supply final presentation files where slides need to appear as clean graphics in the edit.

AFTER THE LAST QUESTION
Start with the films you need afterwards.
A seminar recording lets someone follow a presentation in detail. A highlights film introduces the occasion and its ideas. An interview captures what a participant took from the experience. Each needs a place in the filming plan.
We film professional workshops, masterclasses, practical sessions and seminars for businesses, educators and event organisers. Share the programme and the intended audience, and we’ll work out how the coverage can support both the people in the room and those watching later.
CHOOSE YOUR COVERAGE
What should people
watch afterwards?
Select a starting point. We’ll turn it into a filming plan around your programme, rooms and speakers.
YOUR FILMING PLAN / 01
Keep the explanation intact.
When the detail matters, plan a continuous recording of the agreed sessions, with sound and camera positions suited to the presenter, demonstrations and audience questions.
- Mark the talks and demonstrations that need recording from start to finish.
- Agree microphone arrangements, slide files and any screen or board that needs to be readable.
- Allow for edits, speaker names, graphics, captions and review of each delivered session.
YOUR FILMING PLAN / 02
Give the day a clear introduction.
A promotional edit needs selected ideas, activity, reactions and a sense of place. Short interviews can help explain why the event mattered to the people taking part.
- Choose the message, audience and length of the main film.
- Schedule participant interviews where they fit around the programme.
- Plan the supporting shots and any short or vertical versions before the event.
YOUR FILMING PLAN / 03
Protect the talks. Plan the wider story.
Full recordings and promotional coverage can work together when their competing demands are understood. The running order helps us decide where cameras, operators and interview time need to be allocated.
- Identify clashes between essential presentations, activities elsewhere and interview opportunities.
- Agree which coverage can share a setup and which needs another operator.
- Scope the complete session edits and the promotional films separately so neither is overlooked.
IN PRACTICE / DAVIES WHITE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS
A specialist workshop. A useful collection of films.
For Davies White Landscape Architects, the Beth Chatto Gardens workshop combined presentations, discussion and a visit to Chattowood. One videographer covered six hours, gathering material for complete speaker edits as well as promotional and participant films.
The delivery included fully edited multi-camera guest-speaker content, a main promotional film, a 30-second teaser and ten participant interview clips. Your programme and finished films shape the crew and booking.

The explanation.
The participation. The perspective.
The people taking part
Group work and demonstrations bring context to a highlights film. Agree participation, suitable filming areas and the moments where a camera should remain unobtrusive.
The ideas worth sharing
A few well-timed interviews can add a personal explanation of the day. We agree questions, a quieter space and a schedule that lets contributors return to the event.

A running order.
A shared plan.
We work through the practical details with your organiser and venue, so filming has a clear role in the day.
Programme & priorities
Send the running order, room layout and essential sessions. Flag parallel activities, location changes, demonstrations and the finished films you need.
Sound & access
Introduce us to the venue or AV contact. Plan microphones, audience questions, camera positions, power and a sound check before the first contribution.
Editing & approval
Confirm speaker spellings, slide files, branding, captions and reviewers. Allow time to check longer recordings as well as the main promotional edit.
SCOPE FIRST. QUOTE CLEARLY.

USEFUL TO KNOW
A few questions
before your session.
Can you record a whole seminar as well as a highlights film?
Yes. We scope the continuous session coverage and the highlights material together. A full recording needs dependable pictures and sound throughout, while a promotional film needs a wider selection of activity and reactions. The crew and schedule reflect both requirements.
How many cameras and videographers will we need?
It depends on the room, presenter movement, parallel sessions and interview requirements. One operator can manage a planned multi-camera setup in one space, but cannot also follow activity in another room. Share the programme so we can recommend suitable coverage.
Can slides, demonstrations and audience questions be included?
Yes. Tell us which screens, boards, practical details and questions need to be captured. Original slide files often give a clearer result in the edit than filming a screen alone. Audience contributions need an agreed microphone arrangement.
How do you record clear sound?
We plan suitable microphones or venue feeds, monitor the recording and check the setup before the session. A separate microphone may be needed for audience questions. Editing can improve a difficult recording, but it cannot guarantee recovery of words that were not captured.
Can you film participant interviews during the workshop?
Yes, if the programme allows. We agree the contributors, questions, location and timings in advance. An interview slot during a break or a second operator may be needed when an essential presentation is happening at the same time.
Can we use the recordings for training or internal learning?
Yes. We can prepare labelled session edits, chapters or shorter excerpts for your agreed viewing platform. Your team arranges the necessary contributor and material permissions and checks the teaching content before release.
Can you provide captions and social versions?
Yes. We can include agreed captions, speaker names, branded titles and shorter edits. Tell us where the films will be published and whether you need separate caption files, burned-in captions or different aspect ratios.
Do you offer live streaming as well?
Live streaming is a separate production requirement that can be planned alongside recording. Venue connectivity, microphones, presentation feeds and the remote viewing platform need checking in advance. Tell us whether viewers must watch live or only need access afterwards.
Where do you film, and how is the booking priced?
We are based in Suffolk and film across Essex, London and the wider UK. The quote includes the agreed preparation, filming, crew, editing, travel and delivery requirements. A short seminar and a multi-room workshop need different resources; we confirm the scope before booking.
