Event capture — FAQ

Common questions on this service.

• Can the camera team work with the live stream and broadcast?

  Yes. When we're producing the stream as well, the camera crew and the streaming director work off the same shot list and the same cue points, clean multi-cam feed to the stream, ISOs to disk for the highlight reel, and a synced audio split from the FOH console. Everything timecodes together for post.
• How fast can you turn around a highlight reel?

  For a one-day conference or concert with a 60–90 second highlight reel: 24–72 hours, depending on graphics complexity and approval rounds. For same-day social cutdowns (15–30 seconds, vertical-format, no formal graphics) we can deliver within 2 hours of an event ending if it's planned that way. Longer-form deliverables (3–5 minute recap, sponsor cuts, individual session edits) are 5–10 business days.
• Do you provide raw footage and photos, or just edited deliverables?

  Both, your call. Raw delivery is via a hard drive or secure file share with synced audio. Edited deliverables come graded, with brand graphics applied. Some clients want both, raw archive for future use, edited cuts for immediate publishing. We scope that in the proposal so the file management, drive logistics, and revision rounds are agreed upfront.
• What about drone footage, what's involved?

  We use CASA-licensed remote pilots and have insurance covering commercial drone operations. The pilot does a site assessment (airspace, no-fly zones, weather, crowd density) and files the flight notification if needed. Indoor drone work is possible in some venues but needs venue sign-off in advance. Outdoor work in CBD or near airports has additional restrictions, we'll flag this on the site visit.
• How many photographers do I need for a 300-person conference?

  Depends on what you want covered. For keynote-only coverage with formal portraits, one senior photographer is enough. For full coverage, keynote, breakouts, networking, sponsor stands, candid moments, two photographers, with one focused on the main stage and one roaming. For multi-track conferences with simultaneous sessions, three or more. We'll scope based on your run-of-show, not a generic per-attendee ratio.
• Can you supply photos for press release or media use the same day?

  Yes. We bring an on-site editor for any event where same-day delivery matters. The workflow is: photographer shoots, transfers cards on breaks, on-site editor selects, colour-grades, and exports a curated gallery (typically 40–80 images) within 2–3 hours of the keynote ending. Files go to a shared link, ready for press distribution or your comms team. Standard for product launches and high-profile conferences.
• How do you sync camera audio to the live mix?

  Cameras get a feed from the FOH split into an on-camera recorder, plus the main multi-track recording runs in parallel. Timecode is locked across cameras, recorders, and the stream so post-production sync is automatic. For events where we're also doing the live stream, the broadcast mix is what you hear on the camera feed; for events where someone else handles audio, we coordinate the split during the advance so nothing is patched together on the day.
