Perth Event Videos: Why Yours Aren’t Hitting the Mark
If you’ve ever paid good money for an event video and felt underwhelmed by the result, you’re not alone.
Many Perth event organisers invest in video coverage only to end up with the same outcome:
great footage of the band… and not much else.
That might work for a single recap post or a future artist booking, but it rarely helps sell tickets to your next event — which is where event video should really be earning its keep.
The problem isn’t the footage — it’s the focus
The reason many event videos miss the mark isn’t technical quality.
It’s that the camera is pointed at the wrong part of the event.
When the focus is:
Only the band
Only the stage
Only long performance shots
You end up with a video that documents what happened, but doesn’t capture why people should come next time.
Event video should sell the next event, not just recap the last one
Good event videography in Perth does two things at once:
Celebrates a successful event
Creates desire for the next one
That means capturing:
The audience
The energy and atmosphere
The moments people talk about afterward
The things that make your event feel different
When someone watches your video, they should think:
“I want to be there next time.”
What actually makes an event special on video
The most powerful event videos focus on:
Crowd reactions and movement
Friends arriving, laughing, dancing
Those in-between moments that feel human
The way the space fills up and comes alive
Sponsor activations and branded moments
The band matters — but they’re only one part of the story.
From someone who’s been on both sides of events
Before relocating to the West Coast, Broken Open Productions worked extensively in event production over East (check out the events we used to run).
I’ve:
Run events myself
Hired and briefed other videographers
Managed crews under pressure
Delivered events where everything didn’t go to plan
I’ve also been in a band, so I know how to move backstage, on stage, and around artists without being intrusive — or missing key moments.
That experience matters when things get hectic (because at events, they always do).
Events are stressful — your video coverage shouldn’t add to that
If you’ve ever run an event, you know:
Timelines shift
Weather changes
Artists run late
Schedules need constant adjustment
Good event videography adapts on the fly.
Knowing when to pivot, where to be, and what moments actually matter is just as important as having a camera in hand.
Sponsors deserve more than a logo flash
Event video should also support:
Sponsor visibility
Brand integration
Post-event reporting
Future sponsorship conversations
When sponsors can see the crowd engagement and atmosphere, it makes selling partnerships for your next event far easier.
What Perth event videos should really deliver
A strong event video should:
Capture vibe, not just performances
Showcase audience experience
Highlight what makes the event unique
Support future ticket sales
Deliver value to sponsors
Create assets you can reuse
That’s how event video becomes an investment — not just an expense.
Event video should never deliver just one video
One of the biggest missed opportunities in Perth event videography is treating an event shoot as a single deliverable.
If you’ve invested in professional video coverage, you shouldn’t walk away with just one recap video.
A well-shot event should produce:
A hero recap video
Short highlight clips for social media
Vertical edits for reels and stories
Crowd reaction moments
Sponsor-specific clips
Evergreen content you can reuse months later
This is where event video shifts from a one-off expense to a long-term content asset.
