Gala film production

That depends on the type and size of your event. A highlight film for a reception or anniversary is much more compact than the full documentation of a large gala evening with stage footage, guest interviews and social media cuts. What matters is shoot duration, team size, number of cameras and the effort in post-production. Our Cost calculator gives you an initial estimate in just a few clicks.

Festive events thrive on atmosphere — and that often comes from subdued lighting, candlelight or targeted stage lighting. We work with high-sensitivity cameras and lenses that deliver sharp, low-noise images even in dark rooms. We only use additional artificial light when it improves the image without destroying the mood. In colour correction, we get the maximum out of the available light.

No. Discretion is a must at a gala. Our team knows the etiquette of festive events and works unobtrusively. We use compact cameras, move quietly and keep our distance where necessary. The guests should enjoy the evening and not feel like they're on a film set. The best gala footage is created when the camera stays invisible.

Yes. We record speeches and award ceremonies with several camera angles: one on the speaker, one on the audience, one as a medium wide shot. We capture the sound directly from the house mixing desk and additionally via a wireless microphone. This creates a complete recording that you can use as a separate video or integrate into the highlight film.

Yes. With our same-night teaser, you get a 30-second clip during the event or shortly afterwards. Perfect for posting on social media that very evening or sending to guests by message. The full film then follows within the regular production time.

A professional gala film is the strongest tool you can present to sponsors. It shows the reach and impact of your event in images instead of numbers. Concretely: you send potential sponsors the highlight film together with the invitation for next year. The result is tangible, emotional and more convincing than any presentation.

An event film is the umbrella term for all event videos. A gala film is a specialized form of it that focuses on festive occasions: award ceremonies, charity dinners, anniversaries and receptions. The difference lies in the style. A gala film works more strongly with atmosphere, light and emotion. It captures the festive feel of an evening, not just the sequence of events.

Yes. Whether live band, dance act, magician or fireworks — we coordinate with your programme in advance and plan the camera positions accordingly. For stage acts, we use a multi-camera setup so that no perspective is missing. Show moments are often the most emotional scenes in the finished film.

Three to four weeks are enough in most cases. During this time, we discuss the schedule, clarify the lighting conditions at the venue and determine which moments are particularly important. For more elaborate productions with a drone or multi-camera setup, we recommend six weeks' lead time. We always check short-notice requests — often we find a solution here too.

A company anniversary is one of the most common occasions for a gala film. The combination of celebration, speeches and team moments provides ideal material. Many companies then use the film internally as a motivational video, externally as a brand message and in the press as a follow-up report. An anniversary happens once. The film stays.
