Capturing the energy and insight of a live panel or keynote speech demands more than just a camera—it requires professional lighting, crisp broadcast-quality sound, and a cinematic approach to storytelling. I specialize in filming high-profile panels and keynote addresses at elegant venues like the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC, using a streamlined two-camera setup designed for both efficiency and impact.
Elevating Events with a Two-Camera Cinematic Setup
A two-camera set-up delivers dynamic coverage of your panel or keynote. One camera captures a wide-angle shot that frames the entire stage, panelists, and moderator—ideal for maintaining audience context and flow. The second camera focuses on tight, engaging close-ups of speakers, allowing me to cut seamlessly between perspectives for a polished, studio-quality finish.
Whether you're hosting a tech summit, leadership roundtable, or corporate forum, this method ensures your message is presented with clarity and cinematic depth. The final product is a visually compelling video that’s ready for promotional use, internal distribution, or public broadcasting.
Broadcast-Quality Audio for Clear Communication
Poor audio can ruin an otherwise great recording. That’s why I coordinate the audio set-up prior to the event, offering professional broadcast-grade audio set-up or tapping into the in-house audio sound mixer/board to patch my cameras into. This way, every voice is captured cleanly—free from background noise or distortion—so your audience doesn’t miss a word.
Lighting That Brings the Room to Life
Filming in hotel ballrooms can present lighting challenges, but if needed, we bring our own video lighting gear to enhance speaker visibility without overwhelming the natural ambiance of the room. This makes your footage look vibrant and professional, with flattering skin tones and rich details.
Filming at the Four Seasons and Beyond
We recently had the opportunity to film a thought leadership panel at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington DC, where our setup delivered both professionalism and discretion. Using a dual Canon C70 setup, we captured every insight, expression, and slide presentation while remaining unobtrusive in a room full of engaged attendees.
