Event and conference video production in Dublin and across Ireland

Video production and managed Meta and Google ads from one Dublin team, for businesses across Ireland.

In short: Blue Motion Media provides event videography in Dublin and across Ireland, filming conferences, summits, launches and training days with a compact crew that captures the keynotes, the room and the conversations between sessions. We record speaker interviews and cut everything into a highlight film and vertical social edits: social edits within days, the highlight film within a week. At the AIMS Summit in Chicago, two days of filming produced around forty assets.

Who it is for

Conference and summit organisers, from medical and research events to industry gatherings
Charities, arts bodies and membership organisations running panels, training days and networking events
Companies hosting launches, awards nights and client events
Exhibitors who want a batch of content from their stand at a trade show
Irish organisations running events abroad, and international events coming to Ireland

What you get

A highlight film

The arrivals, the main room, the panels and the conversations between sessions, cut in 16:9 for your website, YouTube and next year's promotion. Our event films run from under a minute to just over three minutes.

Speaker and attendee interviews

Short, prepared interviews with speakers, guests and attendees, from questions agreed with you before the day. Interviews give you material that keeps working in posts and ads long after the event, including next year's promotion.

Vertical social cutdowns

9:16 edits for Reels, Stories, TikTok and Shorts, plus 1:1 versions where you need them, with subtitles where they help. They are the first edits we deliver, while people are still talking about the event.

Sound that holds up

Clear audio is what makes a panel or an interview usable. Where the room has no PA, we bring and run the sound ourselves, as we did for the Raising Films Ireland panel.

Event photography from the same crew

Stills shot alongside the film, so the images sit naturally beside your video. At live events we can deliver a first selection on the day, ready to publish.

Ad-ready cuts for your next event

Short hooks and edits built for paid campaigns. Because we also run Meta and Google ads, the footage can go straight into ads that promote the next edition.

How it works

Plan every asset before the day

A 30-minute strategy call, then we work through your agenda with you: the key sessions, who to interview, and where each video will run. At the AIMS Summit in Chicago, every asset had a destination before we filmed it.

A compact crew on the day

A small crew with compact cameras moves between rooms without disrupting the event, capturing the keynotes, the room and the moments in between. For bigger events, we build the crew around the brief.

Edit while the event is still news

Social edits come first, within days. The highlight film follows within a week, finished with sound design, music, colour grade and motion graphics that follow your brand guidelines. The music is licensed for paid ads, so the same edits can also run in your campaigns.

Delivery you own

Everything arrives in a shared Google Drive, in high resolution and in every format you need. You own the videos, and you get the raw footage as well as the finished edits.

Put the footage to work

Use it on your website, in sponsor and stakeholder updates, and in Meta and Google ads that promote the next edition. The team that filmed it can run those campaigns too.

How many videos can one event produce?

Anywhere from one film and a set of social cutdowns after a single morning to around forty assets from two days, as long as every video is planned before the day. The number comes down to three things: how long the crew is on site, how many interviews are scheduled, and whether each video has a destination agreed in advance.

Two days, around forty assets. At the AIMS Summit in Chicago, the brief was to film enough in two days for the website, paid ads and a year of social posts. We came back with a recap film, highlight cuts in 16:9 and 9:16, and a series of speaker interviews.
One morning, one film plus cutdowns. For Raising Films Ireland, eleven interviews and the panel became a three-minute film for the website and shorter cuts for social.
One day on a stand, sixteen assets. At the Ideal Home Show in the RDS, Plantech got fifteen vertical reels and a website hero film.

The interviews are what make event footage last. A highlight film shows the day happened. A speaker explaining why the event matters keeps working in posts and ads until the next edition. The planning method is the same one we use for any batch shoot: how to turn one shoot day into three months of content.

What should you send your event videographer before the day?

A crew can only film what it knows is coming. Before any event, send your videographer or video team:

The run of show. Session times, rooms, and the moments that cannot be missed: the opening keynote, an award, a launch, the group photo.
An interview list. Who you want on camera, when they are free, and the three or four questions you most want answered. A quiet side room makes a real difference to the sound.
Where each video will run. Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, paid ads, a sponsor report. That decides the formats: 16:9 for the website and YouTube, 9:16 for Reels, Stories and Shorts.
Your venue or AV contact. So sound for the stage is agreed in advance, or brought in if the room has no PA.
Brand guidelines and logos. For titles, lower thirds and end cards, so every edit matches the rest of your event branding.
How you are telling attendees about filming. A notice, a consent form or coloured lanyards, so the crew knows who to keep out of frame.

Do you need consent to film attendees at an event in Ireland?

Not always from everyone, but you do need a lawful basis for filming people, and attendees should be told about it. The Data Protection Commission's guidance on promotional photos at events says images of people are personal data under GDPR, and that recording identifiable images needs a legal basis. It notes that getting everyone's consent may not be practical at a large public event, for example for promotional group shots, so organisers may rely on legitimate interests instead. To do that, they have to show the photos are needed for that purpose, weigh that interest against attendees' interests, rights and freedoms, and use the images in a way attendees would reasonably expect, with minimal impact on their privacy. The guidance is written about photographs, and the same principles are a sensible starting point for filming.

In practical terms, the DPC advises:

At large events: written notices telling attendees that photos will be taken, the purpose, and how the images will be used.
At smaller events: asking for consent, in writing or with a visible signal. The DPC's own example is green lanyards for conference attendees who are happy to be photographed and red lanyards for those who are not.

For interviews and featured close-ups that will run in marketing or paid ads, a signed release from each person is the clearest route. Our FAQ on filming consent covers releases and filming children. This is general information, not legal advice.

Proof

AIMS Summit

A transatlantic healthcare and medtech summit. Two days of conference filming in Chicago produced around forty event, ad and web assets: a recap film, highlight cuts in 16:9 and 9:16, and a series of speaker interviews. AIMS then brought us back to film the Dublin 2026 summit at RCSI, where our crew also ran the interviews.

Raising Films Ireland

A three-minute event film and social cutdowns from the Job Share Training and Networking Day 2026. A crew of two filmed one morning, recorded eleven interviews with panellists and attendees, and supplied and ran all the sound for the panel.

Plantech

One shoot day on their stand at the Ideal Home Show in the RDS produced sixteen assets: fifteen vertical reels and a website hero film, built for paid and organic.

Questions we get asked

How much does event video production cost in Ireland?

In Ireland, event or conference coverage typically costs €3,000 to €20,000 ex VAT, based on the market ranges in our video production cost guide. For an event, the number mostly moves with how many days and parallel rooms need covering, whether sound has to be brought in, and how many edits you want from the footage. These are Irish market figures, not Blue Motion Media's prices. We quote each event after a free 30-minute strategy call, once we have seen the agenda and agreed the deliverables.

How quickly do you deliver event videos?

Social edits follow within days of the event, while people are still talking about it, and the highlight film follows within a week. If you book photography from the same crew, we can deliver a first selection of images on the day, ready to publish. For our other productions, finished videos are usually back within 7 to 10 days of the shoot. Everything arrives in a shared Google Drive, in high resolution and in every format you need.

How many videographers do you need to film a conference?

It depends on how many rooms are running at once. One room with a panel and a set of interviews can be covered by two people: for Raising Films Ireland, a crew of two filmed one morning, supplied and ran all the panel sound, and recorded eleven interviews. Parallel sessions running at the same time need more camera operators, because one operator cannot be in two rooms at once. For those, Blue Motion Media builds the crew around the brief, from camera operators and editors we trust across Ireland and Europe.

Can you interview speakers and attendees on the day?

Yes, and the interviews are often the most useful footage an event produces. We agree the questions with you beforehand, then run the interviews ourselves on the day, as we did at the AIMS Summit at RCSI in Dublin. Our background is documentary, so we know how to put people at ease on camera and draw out answers that sound genuine.

Do you film events outside Dublin or abroad?

Yes. Blue Motion Media is based in Dublin, works all over Ireland and travels for the right project. We filmed two days of the AIMS Summit in Chicago, across Northwestern Medicine's Feinberg Pavilion, the Kellogg School and the gala dinner, and then the Dublin 2026 edition at RCSI. A small crew with compact cameras can move between rooms and venues without missing moments, wherever the event is.

Can we use the event footage in ads for our next event?

Yes. You own the videos and the raw footage, and highlight films and speaker interviews make strong material for promoting the next edition, selling sponsorship or recruiting speakers. Blue Motion Media also runs Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Google (Search and YouTube) ads, so the team that filmed your event can cut the ad versions, set up conversion tracking and run the campaign. If you plan to use footage in paid ads, say so when you tell attendees about filming.
