What we film

A live show is one take

There are no retakes at a gig. The singer won't repeat that note because an exposure was wrong, so the plan has to be made before the lights go down.

Full show coverage

One or more cameras across the set: the performance, the crowd and the moments between songs. Cut as a highlight film, a full-song edit, or both.

Live sessions and stripped-back sets

Studio and small-room performances, where the sound is the point and the room has to look like part of it. We filmed Bambie Thug live at BBC Maida Vale Studios.

Support slots and festival sets

Short sets, shared stages and access you only get for 20 minutes. Planned around the running order rather than the ideal shot list.

Backstage and pre-show

Soundcheck, the walk to stage, the last pep talk. A small crew gets the quiet moments a big one interrupts.

Crowd and atmosphere

Front rows, reactions, the room from the balcony. The footage that makes a promoter believe the next show will sell.

Vertical cuts for social

Reels, TikTok and Shorts from the same night, framed vertically on the night rather than cropped afterwards.

Real shows

Filmed live

Sessions, arena shows, back rooms and documentaries. Tap a film to play it.

Bambie Thug · BBC Maida Vale Studios

No setup time, two songs, delivered in three days

A stripped-back Christmas Eve session at BBC Maida Vale Studios, the room where The Beatles, Bowie and Adele have all recorded. There was no time to set up: filming started as the performance did, and the two songs were played in different parts of the studio, so the camera had to move with them.

Filmed, edited and graded by Violet Coretnic as a one-person crew, and delivered three days later. Bambie Thug went on to represent Ireland at Eurovision 2024, finishing sixth.

Same room, same black and white grade, two songs. The first was filmed tight and dark at one microphone; the second opens out to the band and the studio.

Monatik

An arena show, cut for the feed

Monatik's 2024 London concert: choreography, lighting changes and the crowd, filmed on the night and cut vertically so the clips could go out while the tour was still being talked about.

Camden Town

A small venue, one operator, mixed lighting

A gig in a Camden back room: difficult mixed light, no rehearsal and a crowd close enough to touch the stage. One operator, a careful grade afterwards, and a cut the band could use for promo.

How we shoot

Planned, then reactive

Even the footage that looks spontaneous is planned. What changes on the night is which part of the plan you use.

Planned before doors

We look at the stage plan, the lighting rig and the access zones with the tour or venue manager, and agree where the cameras can be and when they can move.

Kit for dark rooms

Sony FX3 and FX5 bodies with fast lenses and compact stabilisers. Backlit silhouettes, haze and strobing colour are normal at a gig; the kit has to hold an image through all of it.

Audio from two sources

A feed from the desk where there is one, plus our own recorders as backup, so a failed output doesn't cost you the whole night. A dedicated sound engineer is quoted when the show needs one.

A plan for when it goes wrong

Shot priorities agreed in advance, so if one camera drops, the crew knows what still has to be covered. Footage is backed up to drives before anyone leaves the venue.

Who books this

Who the footage has to work for

A live film is rarely just a memento. It usually has a job: sell the next show, support a release, or prove a sponsorship worked.

Venues and promoters

Footage that sells the next show: a highlight film for the season announcement, clips for the listing pages, and stills the press can run. One night of filming covers a year of promotion.

Labels and artist managers

Live assets around a release: a session film, vertical cuts for the campaign, and press-ready frames from the same night, delivered before the news cycle moves on.

Brands and sponsors at live events

If your name is on the stage, the banner or the bar, the show is only half the brief. We film the performance and the activation around it, and cut them for both audiences.

Conferences and corporate events with live music

Awards nights, parties and keynote stages where a band or DJ closes the evening. The same crew covers the talks, the set and the room.

Booking an artist or a band yourself, with a smaller budget? Filming only is £300 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and you edit it. For conferences and parties see event video prices, for trade shows and awards nights conference video, and for brand campaigns around a live moment commercial video production.

Filming and editing are priced separately, so a single highlight film and a full content pack from the same night aren't sold as one number.

Questions

Frequently asked

How much does concert videography cost in London?

With We Stream, one camera covering a show with an edited highlight film starts at £1,700 for up to four hours, and £3,100 for a full day from soundcheck to encore with a highlight and four clips. Two operators with an edit pack of one highlight, six clips and six vertical cutdowns start at £4,900, and a photographer alongside the video crew for the full day is £5,200. Filming only, for teams with their own editor, is £300 an hour with a two-hour minimum. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.

Can you film a small gig, not just a big show?

Yes. A single operator covering a show in a small venue starts at £1,700 with an edited highlight film. We filmed a gig in a Camden back room with one operator in mixed lighting, graded afterwards for social and promo use. A six-person crew in a pub would be in the way.

How quickly do you deliver concert footage?

Edited video is delivered within 7 working days as standard. When the release matters sooner, an overnight edit is from +£900, a rush edit within 48 hours is +£400, and a same-day cut on the night of the show runs £400 to £1,500+ depending on camera count and how finished it has to be. Bambie Thug's live session at BBC Maida Vale Studios was filmed and delivered in three days.

How do you handle the audio at a live show?

We take a feed from the desk where there is one and run our own recorders as backup, so a failed output doesn't cost you the night. Crowd mics can be layered with the desk output in the edit. For larger shows we bring a dedicated sound engineer, quoted with the brief.

How many cameras do we need?

One camera covers a show if the stage is small and the set is short. Two lets you hold a wide shot while a second operator moves for close-ups and crowd reactions, which is what most highlight films need. A second operator is £1,100 a day for support or £1,400 as a full second camera with their own kit.

Can you deliver vertical clips for Instagram and TikTok?

Yes. Extra vertical cutdowns from the same night are £150 each, and an edit pack of one highlight film, six clips and six verticals is £1,800. We frame vertically on the night rather than cropping the wide footage afterwards.

What if there is no time to set up before the performance?

It happens, and we plan for it. At BBC Maida Vale Studios there was no setup time at all: we filmed from the moment the performance started, across two songs in different parts of the studio, and the shot priorities agreed beforehand decided what got covered first.

Do you make music videos as well?

Not at the moment. We film live performances, sessions and concerts, but we don't take music video commissions. Our guide to what a music video costs in the UK is on the site for anyone planning one.

Do we get the raw footage?

Yes. Raw footage is included on event work booked in 2026, delivered as organised folders, and project files are kept for two months after delivery. Every booking includes a producer, two rounds of revisions and £5 million public liability insurance held separately by each of our lead operators.
