Event videography around KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

KLCC is a business and convention area beside KLCC Park and the Petronas Twin Towers, not a single venue. Before we plan any filming, we need to know which property your event is in, because each one sets its own terms for film crews.

Whose rules apply to your filming?

The venue’s own. The KL Convention Centre publishes organiser guidelines, and this page reads them closely. A hotel, office tower or mall nearby has its own events team, so ask it the same questions. Our venue questions guide lists them.

How does a crew load in at the KL Convention Centre?

The guidelines (version 3.0, 15 May 2024) describe a fixed route. Vehicles enter from Persiaran KLCC at the Centre’s checkpoint beside Traders Hotel and leave towards Jalan Pinang. The loading bays are on the ground floor.

• Only vehicles below 3.5 metres in height may use the service road.
• Vehicles may stop for 30 minutes to drop off or collect goods during move-in and move-out.
• During those periods only workers, exhibitors and contractors are allowed at the bays.
• Exhibit materials are loaded through the bay area only, so ask the coordinator which entrance a camera crew uses.

For us, that means a short unloading window, a trolley route from the bay and a crew that arrives ready to set up. Ask the Centre’s coordinator for your slot.

What does the Centre ask for filming and streaming?

Organisers give 14 days’ notification of any filming, streaming, video or audio taping of an event for commercial purposes. Outside broadcast vans, cable runs and camera positions are discussed with the Centre’s coordinator, and camera positions may not take up aisle space.

Two more points matter for a video crew:

• Wireless video. The Centre lists wireless video cameras among sources of Wi-Fi interference. Ask which frequencies are in use before we plan a wireless camera link.
• Internet. IT services are supplied by the Centre, with extra charges for custom set-ups. If you want a livestream, ask what connection is included.

Drones follow CAAM (Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia) rules, and the Centre asks for drone requests and a risk assessment 14 days ahead. For a drone request we also plan ground shots.

What else changes for an event around KLCC?

For conferences, launches, dinners and corporate meetings, a few things change.

• Audio. Speeches and panels sound best from the venue’s own system. See sound feed and recording backup.
• Several rooms. Plenary, breakouts and a dinner may run at once. Our conference and convention videography page explains how coverage is split, and filming in a convention centre with multiple halls goes further.
• Moving between buildings. The Centre mentions a covered walkway joining many food outlets and hotels, so ask your events team which route guests will use.

A planning checklist

1. Name the exact venue and hall.
2. Send the filming notice 14 days ahead.
3. Share the programme or run sheet with us.
4. Ask for the loading bay slot, power and the audio feed.
5. Decide the outputs: highlight film, full session recordings, speaker clips.
6. Tell us if any session is private or off the record.

Our Venue filming questions checklist covers the same ground in a form you can fill in.

How does an enquiry work?

Send us the venue, date, hours and outputs on WhatsApp. An enquiry does not reserve a date. Tell us the venue and date, and we confirm the crew and travel.

The quote moves with the number of rooms, the hours and whether sessions are streamed; see pricing.
