Templates and resources for planning event video

You are planning event video and want a worksheet or checklist for the step you are on.

Share your date and area, and we will suggest coverage and confirm what is possible.

In short

  • Each resource is a working tool or guide, grouped here by the step you are on.
  • Start with the brief builder if you are unsure where to begin.
  • Confirm important dates and figures with us and your venue.

The tools and guides on this site fit different points in planning. Here they are grouped by the step you are likely on, with one reason to pick each. The full list is on the tools page.

Where should you start?

Begin with the event video brief builder. It takes you through the event, the moments that matter and the videos you want, and lets you copy or print the result. If you are unsure which videos to ask for, try the deliverable selector first.

Which resource fits your step?

Your step Resource Why use it
Deciding what to ask for Video deliverables specification sheet Write down each video, its length and where it will be used
Mapping the day Run-sheet filming planner Match the programme to what needs filming and when
Setting a budget Event video budget worksheet Set a figure and see what drives it
Comparing suppliers Videography quote comparison worksheet Check each quote covers the same things
Agreeing the scope Videography booking scope checklist Confirm hours, crew, videos and delivery before you agree
Reviewing the result Final video acceptance checklist Check the finished video against what was agreed

The guides index sits alongside the tools, grouped by decision, from choosing whether to commission video to keeping and reusing it afterwards.

What if your event is more specialised?

Some events need a tool of their own, such as a drone checklist, a livestream checklist, a venue questions checklist or a sponsor coverage checklist. All of them are on the tools page.

How should you use the results?

Treat them as a starting point. Each tool shows what follows from what you enter and from the assumptions it states. When you are ready, the enquiry page shows the message before you send it.

Send us the event type, a rough date and the area, and we help you shape the rest.

Questions people ask

Which resource should I start with?
The event video brief builder. It asks about your event, the moments that matter and the videos you want, and gives you a short brief you can copy or print. Even a half-filled brief is useful.
Do I need to use these before I contact you?
They are there when they help. If you prefer to talk, send a short message with the event type, a rough date and the area, and we work through the rest together.
Can I share a worksheet with my committee or client?
Yes, that is one reason they exist. A brief or checklist written down is easier for several people to agree on than a long chat thread.
Are the results a quote?
The tools help you plan and compare. A quote is written for your event once the scope is clear, and we confirm important figures and dates with you then.
