How Much Does an Event Film Cost in Frankfurt?

Fixed packages instead of estimates. The price depends on the number of cameras and the shooting time, not on the length of the finished film.

A professional event video costs between 1,490 and 25,000 euros (net) in Frankfurt. Basic coverage of one full shooting day starts at 1,490 euros. The most common option works with two cameras and delivers a main film plus a social media clip, which starts at 3,500 euros. An aftermovie featuring two to three cameras and interviews starts at 6,000 euros. Conferences with a multi-camera setup and livestream start at 12,000 euros.

    All amounts net, travel within the Rhine-Main region included. The calculator gives a guide price, not a binding quote. For a fixed quote tell us the date and the venue, we usually reply the same day. By phone: +49 611 90067225.

    What to look for when you compare quotes

    Two quotes showing the same number can mean very different things. These ten questions make the difference visible before you decide.

    Is travel included?

    With us, travel within the Rhine-Main region is part of the fixed price. Charged separately, it can add a three figure amount to a single shooting day.

    Are camera, lighting and sound part of the price?

    We shoot with our own equipment and it is inside the package price. Suppliers without their own kit hire it in and pass the rental on.

    How many operators are behind the cameras?

    Ask about people, not devices. A second camera nobody operates gives you one locked-off shot, not a second perspective.

    Who obtains the filming permits?

    We obtain permits for exhibition grounds, congress centres and public spaces ourselves, and the fees are included in the package price.

    How long is the raw material kept?

    With us, five years. A supplier who delivers the finished film and deletes the rest makes any later re-use impossible.

    How many rounds of revisions are included?

    Get the number in writing. Otherwise every further round becomes a line item that only appears on the final invoice.

    Are music and usage rights cleared?

    And for which channels and which period. A licence that covers your own website does not cover paid advertising.

    Which versions and formats are included?

    Main film, vertical and square, subtitles, shorter cuts: what is in the price and what each further version costs belongs in the quote.

    What happens if the date moves or the event is cancelled?

    With us, cancellation is free of charge up to ten days before the date, after that 50 per cent applies, and from 48 hours before the shoot the full amount. Moving the date within six months costs nothing extra.

    Who carries the cost of putting things right?

    Agree in advance who pays if sound, lighting or the edit does not match what was agreed.

    Show us the quote you already have and we will tell you plainly which of these points are missing from it, even if you end up choosing the other supplier. Phone +49 611 90067225, e-mail info@eigenart-filmproduktion.de.

    Why the Number of Cameras Determines the Price

    The main cost factor in event filmmaking is the number of cameras, not the length of the finished film. An event cannot be repeated: What a second camera didn’t capture simply doesn’t exist.

    For stage events featuring speeches, award ceremonies, or panel discussions, a second camera angle is therefore necessary so that the footage can be edited later.

    The second factor is the turnaround time. An aftermovie that goes online 72 hours after the event is edited the night after the event. This can be planned; it just needs to be agreed upon in advance.

    Where we work: trade fair, congress, aftermovie

    Not every event needs the same film. The difference lies less in the occasion than in the question of who sees the result and when.

    On location at the convention center: a RED camera mounted on a shoulder rig to ensure stable footage even in crowded conditions.

    Trade fair film: stand operation and interviews

    On an exhibition ground you work against the conditions. The halls are loud, the light is mixed, and the neighbouring stand is still being built while your first conversation is already running. We bring our own lighting and wireless audio so that interviews at the stand stay intelligible.

    Filming permits on the grounds of Messe Frankfurt need lead time. We obtain them and the fees are part of the package price.

    One day at a trade fair rarely produces only one film. The usual outcome is a trade fair report for the website and short formats for LinkedIn, plus footage that reappears in next year’s stand communication.

    Congress and conference film: keynotes, panels and the breaks

    With stage programmes the number of cameras decides whether the film can be edited at all. One camera on the wide shot delivers a recording. Two deliver a film. With panels, speaker changes do not work in the edit without a second angle.

    The breaks are underestimated. For many organisers the conversations between the blocks are the actual value of the congress, and they cannot be staged afterwards.

    If the event is also to run live, a separate vision mixing setup comes in and the line is checked in advance. We plan that as an extension and not as an add-on on the shooting day.

    Aftermovie: 72 hours after the closing words

    An aftermovie has an expiry date. Anyone who sends it out three weeks later reaches people who have long since filed the event away. That is why we deliver it within 72 hours on request, edited during the night after the event.

    This only works if it is agreed beforehand. The edit suite has to be blocked, and the shoot runs differently when everyone knows from the start that editing begins the next morning.

    The detailed main film follows after seven days as usual. Social cuts in vertical and square format come from the same material but are taken into account during the shoot.

    Event Film at Messe Frankfurt

    Trade show appearances have their own set of rules. The halls are noisy, the lighting is inconsistent, and filming permits on the Messe Frankfurt grounds require advance planning. We’re familiar with the procedures and bring our own lighting and wireless systems so that interviews at the booth remain clear even when setup is taking place right next door.

    We’re just as familiar with Kap Europa, the Jahrhunderthalle, the Congress Center, and Klassikstadt. From our location in Wiesbaden, we can be there in about 30 minutes—even on short notice.

    Typical Occasions

    Trade show appearance featuring booth interviews and a daily social media roundup
    Conference and Annual Meeting with Multi-Camera Recording
    Prize Presentation and Award Ceremony
    Product Launch and Customer Event
    Company Anniversary, Kickoff Event, and Christmas Party
    Hybrid event with simultaneous live broadcast

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What customers most often want to know before booking.

    How soon can you schedule an appointment?

    If the date is available, even with just a few days’ notice. It’s especially worth giving us a call in the fourth quarter. If you call instead of writing, you’ll get an answer right away.

    What happens if the event lasts longer than planned?

    We bill overtime at the agreed-upon hourly rate. We don’t go home in the middle of the awards ceremony.

    Will we get some photos, too?

    Yes, if requested. We’ll bring an additional person for this, because it’s not possible for the same person to handle both photography and videography at the same time and maintain the same level of quality.

    Who owns the recordings?

    To you. You will receive the rights of use for all agreed-upon channels for an indefinite period. We will provide the raw material upon request.

    Will you also be streaming the event live?

    Yes. We offer a livestream with direction, graphic overlays, and dedicated production as an add-on to the conference package.

    Do you also work outside of Frankfurt?

    No travel fees throughout the entire Rhine-Main region: Wiesbaden, Mainz, Darmstadt, Offenbach, Hanau. Additionally, throughout Germany by arrangement.

    How much lead time do you need?

    Ten days is the normal case. That leaves time for the running order, the filming permit and a technical check beforehand. Shorter notice works if the day is free.

    What applies if we have to cancel?

    Free of charge up to ten days before the shooting day. After that we charge half, and from 48 hours before the start the full amount. Moving the date is different from cancelling: a replacement date within six months costs no extra, provided it is free with us.

    How long do you keep the raw footage?

    Five years. If you later need a different version or a single scene for a new film, the material is still with us.

    Do you handle the filming permit at Messe Frankfurt?

    Yes, and the fees are part of the package price. We only need the hall and stand number and your contact person at the organiser.

    What is included in the fixed price?

    Camera, lighting and sound equipment, post-production and travel within the Rhine-Main region. You receive a flat price and not an estimate with open items.

    How many cameras do we need?

    One is enough for a documentary without a stage programme. As soon as speeches, awards or panels are involved you need two, otherwise the recording cannot be saved in the edit. From three cameras a vision mixing setup is added.

    Do we get formats for social media?

    Yes, in vertical and square format. They are taken into account during the shoot and not cropped out of the long version afterwards, which would leave heads at the edge of the frame.

    Do you work with your own equipment?

    Yes. Cameras, lenses, lighting, wireless audio and drones belong to us. That keeps us independent of rental dates when something changes at short notice on the shooting day.

    Do you also cover photography?

    Yes. A photographer can join the shoot for half a day or the full day. You receive edited images, usually within a week, plus a small selection the same evening if something has to go out the next morning. Booking film and stills separately means two crews travelling in and two different visual styles. From one team, both match.

    Can you provide an editor for the interviews?

    Yes, and with interviews we recommend it. The editor prepares the questions, runs the conversations and guides your speakers through the appointment. That is what decides later whether a soundbite survives the edit. Without an editor someone from your own team usually asks the questions. That works, but it costs more footage and more time in the edit.
