Frequently asked questions
How much does event videography in NYC cost?
Event videography pricing is based on the length of the event, crew size, number of cameras, complexity of the production environment, and the deliverables required. A single-camera shoot with a highlight reel is a different investment than a multi-camera, full-day conference production with speaker reels and same-day social content. We provide custom proposals for every event — contact us with your details and we'll have a quote to you within 48 hours.
Do you create highlight reels and sizzle videos?
Yes — sizzle reels and event highlight videos are one of our most requested deliverables. We produce 60–90 second cinematic recap videos scored with licensed music, optimized for LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and internal distribution. We also offer extended recap edits, speaker-specific highlight packages, and platform-formatted short-form cuts.
How fast is turnaround on edited video?
Highlight reels and sizzle videos are typically delivered within 10–14 business days. Speaker reels and full-session recordings follow a similar timeline depending on volume. For events with urgent marketing deadlines, we offer same-day social clips, next-morning selects, and expedited post-production — just let us know during your discovery call.
Do you handle audio recording and lighting?
Yes. Clean audio is non-negotiable for professional event video. We deploy wireless lavalier microphones for speakers, shotgun mics for room tone, and board-feed connections when integrating with in-house AV systems. For lighting, we work primarily with existing venue and stage lighting — calibrating our cameras for the environment rather than overpowering it — and supplement with portable LED panels when necessary for interviews and controlled setups.
Can you film multi-day conferences and conventions?
Absolutely. We build custom crew rotations for multi-day events — each day gets its own shot list, production plan, and fresh crew energy. Whether it's a two-day leadership summit or a five-day convention, we maintain consistent quality and coverage from the first session to the last.
Do you offer event photography alongside videography?
Yes. We regularly deploy integrated photo and video teams that operate in coordinated lanes — sharing positions, swapping sight lines, and ensuring comprehensive coverage without doubling the footprint. See our conference photography services for more detail on how we structure combined productions.
What formats and platforms do you deliver video for?
We export in every format your marketing team needs — 16:9 widescreen for YouTube and website embeds, 1:1 square for Instagram feeds, 9:16 vertical for Stories and Reels, and native LinkedIn formats. We also provide high-resolution master files for archival and broadcast use. Every deliverable is ready to publish without additional formatting.
