Event Film

Trade show film production
A professional trade fair film extends your appearance far beyond the trade fair days – at the booth, on the website and on social media.
You rock the trade fair. We make the video.
Months of preparation, a high booth budget, intense trade fair days – and in the end all that remains are a few shaky phone clips. A professional trade fair film captures the energy of your appearance and makes it visible to everyone who wasn't there. We film your booth, your products and the conversations that count, and edit them into material you can keep using for months.
Brief overview
A trade-fair film is a professionally produced video that captures your appearance at a trade fair. It shows your stand, your products and the energy of the event in a compact format. Unlike a classic Event Film a trade fair film is shorter, more visual and often designed to work without sound. It is suitable for use at the trade fair booth, on your website, in sales emails and on social media.
As a loop on screens. Attracts attention, starts conversations, explains in seconds what you do.
As a reference video on your trade fair page or product page. Shows that you are present.
Short clips for LinkedIn, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Perfect for organic reach after the trade fair.
As a follow-up to trade fair contacts. A video says more than any PDF brochure in the attachment.
Shows the team, management and other locations how the trade fair appearance went.
Professional proof for sponsors, co-exhibitors or your own board. Demonstrates success visually.
Good to know
A video playing at a trade show booth follows different rules than a film for your website. These are the points we clarify with you before every trade show shoot.
A trade fair film for the booth screen is a short, silent loop video that has to work from a few meters away and in passing — which makes it something different from an image film someone watches with focus at their desk. What it actually looks like depends on your booth setup: the size and shape of the screens, how loud the hall is, and how much time visitors spend at your booth.
The typical length for a loop at the booth. If the goal is just to catch glances as people walk by, 15 to 30 seconds is often enough.
A good booth loop has no visible start and no end. That way it works no matter when someone stops in front of your screen.
Bold visuals, clear contrast, minimal text. If it's not recognizable from a distance, it doesn't belong in the loop.
At the booth, it's decided instantly whether someone stops. That's why the strongest shot comes at the beginning, not in the middle.
Portrait column, banner screen, LED wall, or classic 16:9: we need the dimensions and aspect ratio before editing, so nothing gets cropped later.
Anyone recognizable on camera needs to consent. Large trade fairs inform their visitors of this at the entrance; for interviews and close-ups, we obtain approval directly at the booth.

Frequently Asked Questions
That depends on the scope: the number of shoot days, whether interviews are included, how many cuts you ultimately need, and how fast you need them. A compact highlight reel from a single trade fair day is significantly cheaper than an extensive trade fair documentary with multiple shoot days and interviews. Extras like social media cuts, same-day edits, or livestreaming are added as needed. Our cost calculator gives you an initial estimate in 30 seconds. We put together a binding quote after a short initial consultation.
Four to six weeks are ideal. During this time, we clarify the goal and format, create a shot list, organize the equipment and coordinate with the trade-fair organizer. For short-notice requests, we usually still find a solution. But the earlier we come on board, the better the result. And the more relaxed the trade-fair day is for you.
Yes — and it should. Trade fair halls are loud. Visitors walk past, conversations overlap, speakers blare from the neighbouring stand. That's why we conceive trade fair films so that they work purely visually: with clear text overlays, dynamic editing and a visual language that conveys your message without a single spoken word. Sound and music are added in the version for website and social media.
The four most common formats are: the highlight reel (60–120 seconds, shows the energy of your appearance), the trade fair documentation (3–5 minutes, with interviews and a tour), the booth video as a loop (runs silently on your screen at the booth) and short social media clips in portrait format for Reels, Shorts or Stories. Which format fits depends on who you want to reach and where the video will be used. Most clients combine two or three of them.
Absolutely. That is exactly what we produce for. A good trade-fair film works on your website as a reference, in sales emails as a conversation starter, on LinkedIn as a reach driver and internally as a team recap. We edit the material from the start so that several formats can be created from it. One shooting day at the trade fair gives you content for weeks.
Our team comes with its own equipment and works quietly alongside your trade fair operations. We start in the morning before the visitor rush with stand shots and detail images. During the day, we capture conversations, demos and atmosphere. We schedule interviews for quieter phases. You don't have to organise or coordinate anything. We know how trade fairs work and adapt to your rhythm.
As a rule, we deliver the finished edit within five to ten working days after the trade fair. If you need the video faster, we offer a same-day edit: a fully edited clip the same evening, which you can share directly during the trade fair. The detailed version then follows at a calmer pace afterwards.
In most cases, yes. The rules differ depending on the trade-fair grounds and the organizer. Some allow filming at your own stand without a permit, but require registration for recordings in aisles or common areas. We know the usual processes of the major trade-fair grounds and handle the coordination with the organizer for you. One less item on your list.
A trade fair film shows your stand, your products and your presence at a trade fair. It is often shorter, more visual and geared towards lead generation or follow-up. An event film documents an event as a whole — a conference, a gala, a corporate event. The focus there is more strongly on storytelling and atmosphere. We produce both formats.
Yes. Especially for smaller booths, a video makes the difference. While larger exhibitors stand out with architecture and space, a compact booth needs other means to attract attention. A running video draws eyes and tells in seconds what you offer. After the trade fair, you have professional content that extends your visibility. For compact appearances, we have packages that work from as little as half a shooting day.
