Event Video Pricing Guide 2026
What multi-camera event filming really costs in London — coverage tiers, what drives the price, and how to turn one day into a year of content. From the team behind the SBID Awards and TFL.
The real cost of event video in London
Conferences, awards, exhibitions, launches — event filming ranges from around £1,600 for half-day highlights coverage to £15,000+ for a premium multi-day production with live streaming. Where you land depends on how many cameras, how long, and how much you want to do with the footage afterwards.
We've covered 500+ events since 2012 — from the SBID International Awards to TFL launches and Mobile World Congress for MediaTek. The best event video isn't about the biggest crew; it's about capturing the right moments and turning a single day into content that works for months.
Here's exactly what event coverage costs in 2026, what drives the numbers, and how to make sure your investment keeps paying off long after the doors close.
SBID International Awards — four years and counting
We've filmed the SBID International Awards every year for four years running. Each ceremony, we capture the night as it unfolds — vox pops with winners and guests, the atmosphere, the big moments — and cut a fast-turnaround highlights film SBID uses to promote the following year's event.
Every year we push the boundaries of what's possible, bringing something fresh to a night the industry looks forward to. Four years on, they still trust us with it — which tells you everything about how we work.
"We love working with you guys, you're so dependable!"
Event coverage packages
Three shapes cover most events. These are typical starting points — every quote is fixed and tailored once we know your venue, duration and deliverables.
Not sure which fits? That's normal.

What drives event pricing?
Event coverage is priced differently to a studio shoot — you get one chance to capture the day, so it's about crew, cameras and turnaround. The main factors:
- Event duration — half-day highlights vs. a multi-day conference
- Number of cameras — more angles mean more crew, but a richer edit
- Live streaming — switching, encoding and redundancy add to the day rate
- Turnaround — same-day social edits vs. a standard 1–2 week delivery
- Simultaneous sessions — breakout rooms or multiple stages to cover at once
- Travel & access — destination events, complex venues and rigging requirements
Every one of these is priced transparently and agreed upfront — no surprises on the invoice.
What it's actually worth
The mistake most event organisers make is treating video as a one-off recap — posted once, then forgotten. The teams who get real value plan for the footage to work for months.
From a single event, we routinely deliver a whole content library:
- 1x hero highlights film for your website
- 10–15 short social clips (speakers, reactions, atmosphere)
- A case-study edit for sales & sponsorship decks
- Next year's promo — proof the event delivers
That's the difference between a cost and an investment: one day's filming becomes a marketing asset that helps sell tickets, win sponsors and prove ROI for the next event. Want the full playbook? Read our guide on maximising ROI from event video.
