Eight questions to ask any event video vendor
The scorecard we wish every planner had before hiring a crew. Enter your email and we will unlock it right here.
- How many multi-day, multi-room events have you covered in the past year?
- Who exactly will be on site, and who will edit? Are they employees or freelancers?
- What is included in the price: editing rounds, music licensing, usage rights, travel?
- How long until I see a first cut, and how many revisions are included?
- How do you handle audio from the house system and from speakers who walk around?
- What happens if a camera fails or someone is sick on the day?
- Can I speak to a client whose event is similar to mine?
- How do you back up and deliver the raw footage?
Score each vendor out of eight. A good answer is specific, names people and gives a number.
