Event video guide
We Stream is a London video and photo production company that films conferences, launches and corporate events. A highlight film is a 1 to 3 minute edit of the mood and the key moments; full coverage records every session so you can publish the talks themselves.
The film above is a highlight: keynotes, panels and the expo floor in under two minutes.
Side by side
The difference is less about length and more about what the footage has to do after the event. This is how the two formats compare on a typical London conference.
| Highlights | Full coverage | Both | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A fast edit of the atmosphere, the speakers and the guests | Every session recorded start to finish, with clean sound from the AV desk | A highlight film plus the sessions in full |
| Length | 1 to 3 minutes | As long as each session | A short film and the long recordings |
| Best for | Social, next year's ticket page, sponsor thank-yous | Members, on-demand viewers, training, investors, press | Conferences that sell next year and publish their talks |
| Crew | One operator is usually enough | Two or three cameras on the stage, plus audio from the desk | Two operators: one fixed on stage, one roaming |
| Add-ons | Vertical cutdowns and speaker clips, £150 each | Subtitles, SRT files and short quote clips per speaker | Edit pack: 1 highlight, 6 clips, 6 verticals |
| Turnaround | 7 working days, or the same day if planned | 7 working days from the event | Highlight first, then the sessions |
| From | £1,400 half day, filmed and edited | £3,900 two operators and an edit pack | £3,900, the same package |
Two events, two jobs
DP World needed the official opening of Thames Freeport told in under a minute and a half. Alter AI needed a long conversation kept whole, so viewers could follow every argument. Same city, same crew, opposite edits.
You can also get both from one shoot. For Newsweek's leadership forum we ran three cameras all day: the same footage became a 1:45 highlight and every panel in full, because both were planned before the day.
Choose by goal
Pick the goals that apply to your event. If you tick goals on both sides, book both: it costs less to plan them together than to come back for the second format.
Show turnout, energy and the speakers people will want to see again.
Highlights
Short branded clips each sponsor can post, plus their moment on stage.
Highlights
Sessions on your website, YouTube or a members' area, as long as they ran.
Full coverage
Internal teams and investors usually need the full argument, not the mood.
Full coverage
Film their talks in full and cut quotes from them for months afterwards.
Both
One highlight, speaker clips and verticals from the same footage.

What we recommend most often
Clients often ask for "a quick video". After one planning call most of them choose this set, because it gives them something to post this week and something to use all year.

FAQ
A highlight film is a 1 to 3 minute edit of the atmosphere, the speakers and the key moments. Full coverage records every session from start to finish so the talks themselves can be published. Many conferences book both from one shoot.
At We Stream a filmed and edited half day with a highlight film of 2 to 3 minutes is £1,400, and a full day with a highlight and four clips is £2,400. VAT will be added where applicable.
Two operators for a full day with an edit pack of one highlight, six clips and six verticals is £3,900. Additional full session edits depend on how many sessions you need and are quoted with the brief.
Between one and three minutes. Our film of the Thames Freeport opening for DP World runs 1:27 and Connected Britain 2025 runs 1:59. Shorter vertical cuts of 15 to 60 seconds work better on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.
Usually two or three on the stage, with sound taken from the venue's AV desk. For Newsweek's leadership forum we ran three cameras for the whole day so every panel could be edited across angles.
Yes, if both are planned before the day. The cameras are placed for the full sessions, and a roaming operator catches the room and the guests for the highlight. Newsweek's highlight film and its full panel recordings came from the same shoot.
Edited video arrives inside 7 working days with two rounds of revisions. A same-day recap of up to 60 seconds is £400 if it is planned before the shoot, and a rush edit within 48 hours is £400.
For a highlight film of a single-stage event, often yes. For full sessions plus the highlight, book two operators so one camera stays on the stage while the other films the room.
