Project overview
Radisson wanted to document their end of summer 12-hour rooftop party, showcasing the venue, crowd and atmosphere. This was my first attempt at a client videography project, handling all aspects from the initial shot plan right through to editing.
I spent 12 hours filming over 150 clips, using a mix of handheld camera work (Sony A7sIII) and drone shots to cover the crowd (DJI Air2s), the DJ sets, and sweeping views of the hotel. Due to the event running from noon to midnight the lighting conditions changed throughout the day meaning camera settings had to be changed multiple times which was a great chance to adapt and learn new gear in a short space of time. In the edit, I colour graded footage, cut the day down into a fast-paced 2-minute recap video, and created a set of short vertical formats for socials to extend the lifespan of the content.
Overall Radisson were happy with the outcome and I took a lot form my first experience working on a shoot of this type which I look forward to carrying into future projects.
Outcome
12-Hour Solo Shoot: Planned, filmed, edited the entire event.
150+ Ground & Aerial Clips: Combined handheld crowd and venue footage with drone shots to capture the full event.
Full Video Package: Delivered event recap video alongside short vertical clips ready for social.
