Event Video Production in Bath, Bristol & the South West
We don’t just do conferences! We also film performances, awards ceremonies, largescale events like CountryFile Live, panel talks, press and product launches and even the odd royal visit.
Our experienced, self-sufficient team excels at managing the technical side of things, freeing up organisers to concentrate the other aspects of the event secure in the knowledge that the documentation is in safe hands.
Each event type has a unique set of challenges. However, we always turn up with enthusiasm, ideas and energy and, if anything goes awry, our pre-planning and front foot thinking will help to turn any situation to our advantage.
How we create an Event Video in 3 steps
Pre-Production
In the lead up to the event, we always explore inventive ways to maximise footage and deliver the best value, including social media clips, highlight videos, a promo for the following year, a package for local news and so on.
Production
Our top-class crew can be relied on to keep their cool, even in high pressured live events where there’s no option for a re-take. Recent projects include filming live primetime entertainment shows, interviewing Robert De Niro and live streaming footage of HRH The Duchess of Cornwall.
Post Production
Here we utilise the expert camerawork shot by our broadcast standard operators – often peppering in drone shots for an added wow factor. If the content is time-sensitive, we’re potentially able to turnaround edits in just a matter of hours.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to create an Event Video?
We are always happy to be asked if we can cover an event at short notice, but the usual turnaround time is around a month. We’re highly adaptable and will always try to find a solution which fits with your timescale and needs.
How much does an Event Video cost?
It depends on the scale of the event and what you want to do with the footage. For example, an award ceremony will typically require more crew than a conference, because reaction shots in the crowd are essential.
Add ons like social media bite-sized clips, adverts for next year’s event etc. will also increase the package price, but offer a cost-effective way to maximise the event.
What’s involved on the day of shooting an Event Video?
We thrive on the buzz of live events, and you can always trust our crew to adapt to changes in circumstances and capture critical moments.
Ensuring the sound is well covered is paramount for live events – especially when there are large, noisy crowds to deal with. Our sound technicians always spend extra time ensuring everything is perfect beforehand – we can’t interrupt the flow of a speaker or performance by asking to adjust the mic!

Adam. Sound Supervisor and Drone Op
I like to think I help bring extra value to clients by having two specialisms. Once I’m happy that we have captured all the audio required, I enjoy utilising my pilot’s licence to get some drone shots close to the action or to give a unique perspective.
I’ve worked with Octopus Films on a wide variety of shoots, and they’re consistently reliable, enthusiastic, creative, collaborative, talented, flexible and always a pleasure to be around. I’d have no hesitation recommending them for all types of filming.
