Geelong Videographers, Side by Side

Picking the Right Videographer

Two kinds of filmmaker work around Corio Bay. Wedding crews follow a couple from getting ready to the last dance, on the Bellarine, the Surf Coast or in the CBD, while a corporate studio films expos, conferences and gala dinners and handles the edit in-house.

What to compare before you ask for quotes:

  • Solo or paired: one filmmaker can shoot the whole wedding day alone, while other teams pair a camera operator with a photographer.
  • The edits you receive: a highlight film, a longer version, the uncut ceremony and speeches, and a clip for social media are separate pieces of work.
  • Film plus photos: a combined package means one booking and one team to brief, from $1,950 with five hours that can stretch to twelve.
  • Photographer-led: an editorial wedding photographer adds optional highlight films and albums, from $3,300.
  • A full-day wedding film: complete coverage with several edits starts from $4,500.
  • Business events: trade shows, expos, conference sessions and gala nights, quoted on the brief.

Coverage differs a lot. One filmmaker works only on the Surf Coast, the corporate studio sticks to the city and its suburbs, a photographer adds the Bellarine, and one package team covers all of those areas, so check before you book.

Getting good sound at the ceremony

  • Ask how the vows are recorded: a microphone on the celebrant, one on the couple, or both.
  • Wind across a Bellarine lawn or a Surf Coast clifftop can drown out the audio, so ask about wind covers and a backup recorder.
  • Speeches in a reception room usually come off the venue's sound system, so put the filmmaker in touch with the venue early.

Reading a videographer's quote

  • Count the hours on the day and what each extra hour costs.
  • Find out how many edits come back, how long each runs and when they arrive.
  • Ask whether music is licensed for posting online.
  • Check whether travel to the Moorabool Valley or further along the Great Ocean Road is extra.
  • Ask about drone footage and what permission your location needs.

Filming a conference or expo

  • List the must-have sessions, speakers and stands before the day.
  • Ask for a short recap clip for social media as well as the full edit.
  • Agree on branding, captions and who signs off the final cut.
