Making a Video of your Conference or Seminar

Investing time and effort in a conference or seminar, particularly if high profile speakers are attending from overseas it’s normal to want to create a video record of the event.
But, typically, a 2-day conference or seminar will contain between 12 and 16 hours of presentations. Will anybody actually want to watch a video 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

You need to ask some key questions:
what will your audience be interested in?
– How many people will be speaking in each session (that way we can make sure you’re getting the best sound possible)
what do you want to achieve by making a video?
– Have you got permission from all the speakers to film them?
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.
Are there going to be Powerpoint presentations, Keynote slides or any other kind of Multimedia? No problem, just give them to us and we’ll include them in the final output. This works much better than just filming the screen.
Better still you can always provide us with all your media files in advance of the event in order to create a seamless workflow.

After the event

A1 Conference Video will put together an MP4 rough cut for your approval.
Once you approve this, we add titles, voiceover links, cutaways and other elements to provide a polished production.
We want you to have the best possible product and get the most of your conference. We will do all we can to make that happen.
