You don’t film for TikTok the same way you film for LinkedIn or a press release. Yet many brands forget this. If you're planning to use content across platforms, it's worth asking for:
Horizontal and vertical formats
Cutdowns for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok
Soundbites or quotes from panels
Brand-safe overlays or animated titles
Subtitled versions for silent autoplay or international teams
All of this can be done - but only if your videographer knows it upfront and shoots accordingly. If they don't, you'll miss shots, waste time, and pay extra in the edit.
Why a full production team matters
Many organisers think one videographer is enough to “cover the event.” And sure - they’ll get some nice clips. But a solo shooter can’t be in two places at once. They can’t capture a panel and backstage moments and your sponsor’s reactions. They’ll have to prioritise, and things will be missed.Be realistic about editing timelines
Same-day edits? Possible. But you’ll need to budget for it and let your team know in advance.
A typical highlight video with voice lines, branded titles, and multiple angles can take up to a week. Faster is doable - we’ve done it in 12 hours - but you’ll need a bigger crew or live editor.
What we recommend:
Talk about timelines before the shoot. Rushing editing afterwards rarely leads to a better video - it just stresses everyone out.
