Events often represent a significant investment of time, planning, and resources.

Whether it’s a conference, awards ceremony, or charity fundraiser, these gatherings bring people together to share ideas, celebrate achievements, and strengthen relationships.

Event video allows organisations to capture those moments and extend their value far beyond the day itself.

At Reach Video, we approach event video strategically — focusing not only on what happens during the event, but on the stories and insights that will remain valuable long after it has finished.

Why Businesses Invest in Event Video

Events often represent a significant investment of time, resources, and effort.

Video allows organisations to extend the impact of that investment far beyond the day itself.

Businesses typically use event video to:

Capture key moments and presentations
Share insights from speakers or participants
Document the energy and atmosphere of the event
Create marketing and social content afterwards
Generate ongoing content for marketing and communications
Reach people who couldn’t attend the event in person

When captured strategically, event video can continue delivering value long after the event has finished.

What Makes an Effective Event Video

Many event videos focus entirely on visual highlights.

They show quick shots of speakers, audiences, and networking moments edited into a short montage.

While this can look impressive, it often fails to capture the ideas and stories that made the event valuable in the first place.

The most effective event video strategies focus on capturing:

The insights shared by speakers
The experiences of attendees
Conversations happening at the event
Stories that shape how the event is remembered

Our Story-First Approach

Many event videos begin by focusing on logistics — camera positions, stage coverage, or capturing the highlights of the day.

The problem is that when event video fails, it’s rarely because something important wasn’t filmed.

It fails because no one clarified what story the event was meant to tell.

At Reach Video, every event project begins by understanding the purpose of the event and the stories that should emerge from it.

Before filming begins we focus on:

01

Understanding what the event is designed to achieve

02

Identifying the key speakers, participants, or moments to capture

03

Clarifying what ideas or messages should resonate afterward

04

Designing the structure of the content that will be created

Only once that narrative is clear do we plan the filming.

This ensures the final video captures more than just visuals — it captures the meaning and impact of the event itself.

Event Video for Aberdeen Businesses

Aberdeen hosts a wide range of professional, community, and industry events throughout the year.

These events often bring together clients, partners, and industry leaders from sectors such as:

Energy (Oil & Gas and Renewables)
Business and Professional Services
Charities and Third-Sector Organisations
Tourism and Hospitality

These events often bring together industry experts, clients, and partners. Capturing the conversations and insights from these gatherings can help organisations share their expertise with a much wider audience.

Our Video Production Process

Every project follows a clear four-stage process designed to remove uncertainty and ensure the video achieves its intended outcome.
Clarity Call

We begin by understanding the business challenge the video needs to solve and what the audience needs to understand or feel after watching.

Story Design

We design the structure of the video, identify the right contributors, and shape the message that will land clearly with your audience.

Production

Filming captures real people, authentic conversations, and the environments where the work happens.

Deployment

We guide you on how to use the finished video effectively across your website, sales materials, marketing campaigns, or internal communications.

Frequently Asked Questions about Event Video Production

Do you produce event highlight videos?

Yes, but they are usually just one part of the content captured. Our approach focuses on gathering stories, insights, and interviews that can generate multiple pieces of valuable content.

What does event video production cost?

The investment depends on the scale of the event and the type of content being captured. Factors such as the number of filming days, interview setups, and the types of videos required all influence the final cost. During a Clarity Call we’ll explore the event goals and provide a proposal based on the value the content will create.

What's included?

Clarity Call, story design, filming, editing, revisions, and guidance on how to deploy the finished video effectively. Full usage rights are included.

Do you work outside Aberdeen?

Yes. We’re based in Aberdeen but work with organisations across Scotland and beyond. Filming usually takes place at your location.

What do you need from us?

We need to understand the business problem you're solving, who your audience is, and what success looks like. Once that’s clear, we manage the rest of the production process.

How many rounds of changes are included?

Two rounds of revisions are included as standard. Because we invest time in getting the story right during the design phase, most projects don’t require more.

How long does the process take?

Filming typically happens during the event itself, while editing and content creation usually takes two to six weeks depending on the number of videos produced.

What makes your approach different?

Many event videos focus on capturing visuals alone.

Our approach focuses on capturing the ideas, stories, and insights behind the event, allowing the content to continue delivering value long after the event has ended.

Ready to Get Started?

Let’s Solve the Right Problem

Many organisations start by searching for a specific type of video because they know something needs to be communicated more clearly.

Sometimes that initial idea is the right solution. Sometimes a different approach will be more effective.

The best place to start is a Clarity Call, where we explore what you're trying to achieve and determine the right story to tell.
