Promotional Videos for Events | Joseph Wardrup – Firebrand Media

Event video production is more than pointing a camera at the stage.
In this in-depth walkthrough, Joseph Wardrup, CEO of Firebrand Media, explains how professional crews capture every angle of a live event—on stage, in breakout rooms, and even during those spontaneous networking moments that show real company culture.

You’ll learn why a clear run-of-show is critical for coordinating crews, how to allocate cameras for main sessions vs. roaming B-roll, and how to integrate with AV teams to record clean audio and slides. Joseph also shares tactics for anticipating audience movement—like positioning a gimbal-operator to follow reactions—and why off-site activities such as team-building or after-hours socials deserve just as much coverage as the keynote.
