Case study, September 2021
We Stream is a London video and photo production company that films conferences, launches and press events. This is one of the first large jobs our founders filmed together, months before the We Stream name existed: the commercial launch of Thames Freeport for DP World, with Rishi Sunak, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, as the main speaker.
The event film for DP World, 1 minute 27 seconds.
The setup
How it ran
The launch brought the freeport partners and two cabinet ministers into one hotel. On the same day DP World announced a £300 million fourth berth at London Gateway, so the film had to carry the speeches and the news together.
Sound checked with the house team, B-roll of the rooms and branding filmed while they were still empty.
Three locked-off cameras on the lectern and audience, two gimbal operators moving between rooms for reactions and arrivals.
Edit, colour grade and sound mix on two films, both finished within two days of the launch.
If you are planning a similar event
A multi-camera launch is priced from our published day rates, valid to 30 September 2027. Every day includes a producer, on set for larger shoots and remotely for smaller ones. Full packages for conferences are on our conference prices page, and the way we cover rooms like this one is on conference videographer London.
For a launch with ministers or senior executives we also agree a press position with the venue, take a clean sound feed from the house team and keep a second camera on the lectern, so the speeches never depend on one angle.
