The video that sells the next one

An event is over in a day. The highlight reel is what's left, and it does the selling for the next twelve months. Sponsors see what they bought. Delegates see what they missed. Your board sees where the money went.

It has to feel like the room felt. Full, warm, worth being at. That comes from what gets filmed on the day, so we shoot with the reel in mind from the first shot.

What comes out of a day

One event, several finished pieces, each doing a different job.

The 60 second sizzle

The hero reel. Energy, atmosphere, the moments that mattered. The one you send to sponsors and open next year's pitch with.

A 30 second cutdown

The short version for socials and email, built to work in a feed and with no sound.

A longer recap

Two to three minutes with speakers and content, for the post-event wrap and the website.

Speaker and session clips

Individual talks pulled out as their own videos, which sponsors and speakers then share for you.

Vox pops and reactions

Real delegates saying why it was worth coming. The most persuasive thing on the reel.

Vertical social versions

Reframed for phones, captioned, ready to post rather than ready to reformat.

How we work

How a job runs, step by step.

Five stages, all handled. You send the run sheet and give your feedback. We run the rest.

01 Your part

Brief

Tell us the goal, the audience and the deadline once. Jess turns it into a scope, a plan and a fixed quote, so you know what you’re getting before anything is locked in.

  • One clear brief, no back and forth
  • A fixed quote up front, itemised
  • One point of contact, start to finish

Fast, because interest has a shelf life

A highlight reel that lands three weeks later is a record. One that lands while people are still posting about it's marketing.

The sizzle set comes back within three business days as standard. If you need something on the night or the next morning, say so when you book and we'll build the day around it.

What makes a reel work

A full-looking room

Angles and timing chosen so the room reads busy, even during the quiet half hour after lunch.

Faces, not just stage

Reactions, conversations and the queue for coffee. That's what makes people want to be there.

Sponsors seen

We get the branding, the stands and the logo walls covered, because someone will ask.

Real audio

A clean feed from the desk plus room sound, so the speakers are usable and the room feels alive.

A shape, not a montage

Arrival, build, peak, close. A reel with a shape holds people all the way through.

Cut for where it's going

The sponsor version, the socials version and the website version aren't the same edit.

Our work

A few we’re proud of.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

How quickly can we get the reel?

The sizzle set comes back within three business days as standard. Same night or next morning is possible if you tell us up front, because it changes how we run the shoot.

What do you need from us to quote a highlight reel?

Not much. The event, the date, the venue and where the reel will be used. If something's missing, Jess will call and ask rather than send you a form. You'll hear back within one business day.

How much of my time will this take?

Hardly any. A short brief call before the event, then two rounds of notes on the reel. Jess books the crew and sends the call sheet. You run the event, and we film it.

How long should a highlight reel be?

Sixty seconds for the hero, thirty for social. Longer than about ninety seconds and people stop watching, unless it's a full recap for your own site.

Can you cut a reel from footage we already have?

Usually yes. Send us what you've got and we'll tell you honestly what's there before you commit to anything.

Do sponsors get their own version?

That's a common ask and an easy one, since the footage is already there. Tell us who needs what and we'll build the versions into the quote.

Do you cover multi-day events?

Yes. For a run of days we'll usually turn a short reel around each night as well as the full one at the end, so there's something to post while it's on.

Where we film

Across Sydney and greater NSW.

Based in Sydney, filming across the CBD, North Sydney, Macquarie Park, Parramatta, the Inner West and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
