Event Capture

Professional event capture services for businesses in Seattle.

What we capture and how we deliver it

We show up with multiple cameras, gimbals, and professional audio equipment. Our crews capture multi-angle coverage of presentations, screen recordings of slides, interviews with speakers and attendees, audience reactions, and B-roll footage throughout the venue. When permits allow, we include drone footage for aerial perspectives.

You have options for how we deliver the content. The first option is raw footage with full copyright ownership. We organize everything, can clean up the audio levels, and hand over the files for your internal team to edit. The second option includes our first-pass edit where we pull the best selects, apply color correction, clean up the audio, and deliver ready-to-edit packages that save your editors significant time. The third option is complete post-production where we handle highlight reels, presentation videos with multiple camera angles, and social media content.

We work with major corporations like Microsoft, Google, and HP, along with conference organizers, training companies, and product launch teams. The key difference in our approach is planning the shoot to maximize the value of our time on location. If we're already set up with lighting and cameras for interviews, we can capture additional testimonial content or lifestyle photography while the equipment is in place. This approach gives you more usable content from the same production day.

Our standard kit includes professional multi-camera setups, gimbal stabilizers for smooth movement, portable lighting for interview scenarios, and wireless monitoring systems. We bring backup equipment and redundant audio recording because technical failures during live events aren't recoverable.

Frequently asked questions

Do you provide event videography near me?

We're based in Seattle and cover events throughout the Pacific Northwest including Tacoma, Bellevue, Portland, and surrounding areas. For events outside the region, we handle travel logistics and crew sourcing nationwide.

How many cameras do you use for corporate event videography?

Our standard event setup uses 2 to 3 cameras with operators, plus unmanned angles when the venue allows. This gives us enough coverage to produce multi-angle edits of presentations and capture audience reactions, B-roll, and interviews simultaneously.

How far in advance should I book event video capture?

We recommend booking at least 3 to 4 weeks ahead for standard events. Large conferences or multi-day events should book 6 to 8 weeks out so we can plan crew, equipment, and logistics properly.

What do I receive after the event?

That depends on your needs. Options range from organized raw footage with copyright ownership, to first-pass selects with color and audio cleanup, to fully produced highlight reels and presentation videos. We'll recommend a deliverable package based on how you plan to use the content.
