Videographers in London

Pixel Media For You provide videography and photography service and are based in London and the South Coast. They offer bespoke video and photographic essays of events like weddings, birthdays, and corporate functions. Read on for more plus advice on choosing a videographer for your event.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

As I provide overall coverage what is important is to determine the length and content of the videos that will showcase the event. A highlight video is short and contains the best video clips to highlight the event. The longer video will contain speeches and ceremonies interwoven with highlight material. The organiser can help by providing information about sound equipment which helps record the event and key areas where the different stages of the event will take place. Camera placement is important and this can affect the outcome of the video if there are too many restrictions.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I think it's important for the client to have an easy rapport with the videographer as they will be followed closely all day. If the client is relaxed and trusting of the videographers work they can let go and enjoy the day. Often there are sudden changes to the plan of the day and being able to improvise around these with fun and creative inspiration adds to great video content and ultimately happy clients.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

I've always enjoyed photography and as a musician, I have always enjoyed the psychological response we have to music that affects us. Videography gives me the chance to combine both these talents in the cinematic approach I take of the wedding day. I can film all day. I love that sense of freedom to film people and find visual stimulating footage as the wedding unfolds. During the edit when dealing with the sound - from speeches, the backing tracks - I can engage my experience in music to come up with a satisfying blend of the visual content with appropriate and moving soundscapes.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

Due to the pandemic and lockdown, my first booking for a wedding has been postponed until next year. I look forward to more bookings with Add to Event in the future.
