Let's get it out of the way, #nobullshit: a professional event film in Vienna starts at €1,500, and most projects land between €2,000 and €7,000. Why such a wide range? Because "event film" can mean anything from a short recap clip to a multi-day multicam aftermovie. Here's what sets your price, with no surprises on the invoice.
why an event has no second take
An event is live. The moment your speaker wins over the room, the stage sits in perfect light or the crowd goes wild happens exactly once. No "let's do that again". That's why preparation is everything for an event film: we know your schedule in advance, know where the highlights will happen, and have the camera there before the moment is gone.
the three budget tiers for event films
recap / highlight
€1,500 – 3,500The compact edit for social and recap emails. One camera, one event day, a sharp clip of 30 to 90 seconds plus vertical cutdowns. Ideal for capturing the mood right after the event and riding the reach while the topic is still hot.
aftermovie
€3,500 – 7,000The emotional film that makes your event tangible. Two cameras, targeted interviews with speakers or guests, sound bites, colour grading and sound design. The classic for conferences, company celebrations and trade fair appearances, made to sell next year's tickets.
multicam / campaign
from €7,000Several cameras in parallel, drone, multi-day events, a whole crew on site. Master aftermovie plus speaker recaps, sponsor cutdowns and social assets in one go. The league for big festivals, galas and international conferences.
Whatever the tier, every project we deliver is finished to the same standard. What changes is the scope of your event, not the quality of the film.
the 6 cost drivers of an event film
Why does one event film cost €1,500 and another several times that? These six levers decide your budget:
number of cameras
The biggest lever. One camera captures one perspective; two or three cameras give you editing dynamics, audience reactions and the certainty that no highlight gets lost. Multicam means more crew and more editing, but also a film that feels alive.
length of the event
One evening, one conference day or a three-day festival? Every hour on site means crew, equipment and, later, footage that needs to be reviewed and edited. The length of your event is one of the clearest cost drivers.
interviews & sound bites
Statements from speakers, guests or your team turn a mood video into a film with a message. But they need a second setup with lighting and sound next to the running event. More effort, much more substance.
drone & special equipment
Aerial shots of the venue, a gimbal for smooth moves through the crowd, sliders for the stage. The tools decide the look, and whether your aftermovie looks like a phone video or like cinema.
turnaround & deadline
Need the clip the next morning for social while the event is still echoing? An overnight express edit is possible, but it means a team working through the night. More time means a more relaxed budget.
post-production
Edit, colour grading, sound design, music licensing and the cutdowns for every channel. A clean edit is standard. Detailed grading and sound design that lets you hear the room turn footage into an experience.
frequently asked questions
How much does an event film cost in Vienna?
A professional event film in Vienna starts at €1,500. A compact one-camera recap clip is €1,500 to €3,500, a full aftermovie with interviews and several cameras €3,500 to €7,000, and large multicam productions more. The price depends on the number of cameras, event length, interviews, equipment and post-production.
What's the difference between a recap clip and an aftermovie?
A recap clip is short (30 to 90 seconds), made for quick release on social and usually shot with one camera. An aftermovie tells a story: several cameras, sound bites from speakers and guests, emotional editing and sound design. The recap captures the mood; the aftermovie makes your event tangible.
How soon after the event do I get my film?
It depends on the scope. If you want, we deliver a short recap clip the day after the event, while the topic is still hot. A full aftermovie with interviews and grading usually takes one to three weeks. If you have a hard deadline, tell us early. An express edit is possible.
Do you also film multi-day events and trade fairs?
Yes. From a one-day company party to a multi-day festival or trade fair appearance, we're on site with the right crew. For larger events we work with several cameras in parallel and deliver speaker recaps, sponsor cutdowns and social assets alongside the master aftermovie.
How do I get a quote for my event film?
