Event aftermovies in Brussels
A cinematic approach, not just a recap
Aftermovies for conferences, launches, inaugurations and galas, for companies, institutions and event agencies, in Brussels, across Belgium and in Luxembourg.
An aftermovie is built like a film: a script, considered framing, light and rhythm. It doesn’t sum up the event, it tells its story.
For full recording of plenaries and breakout sessions, I refer you to specialist AV companies.
Several approaches, chosen together.
-
Music, no voice-over
The images and the rhythm carry everything: the atmosphere, the faces, the highlights, cut to music chosen with you.
-
With a voice-over
A script written with you, read as a voice-over, to carry a clear message: what the event stands for, its key figures, the next edition.
-
Interviews on the spot
The direct approach: speakers and attendees answer in the middle of the event, with the audience in the background. The film gains spontaneity.
-
Interviews in a studio
I set up a real studio on site, with beautiful light: a quiet corner where your speakers take the time to talk. A more polished result.
These approaches can be combined. And the interviews also stand on their own: cut into short clips, they give you content to publish for weeks after the event.
What you get, and when.
- The aftermovie within a week, in landscape and portrait.
- A vertical version reframed shot by shot, for LinkedIn and Instagram.
- Subtitles on speaker soundbites, translated into several languages if needed.
- As an option, the interviews cut into clips of about a minute for LinkedIn, on the day where possible, otherwise within a week.
These are guidelines: everything can be adapted, and I’m happy to talk it through with you.
How it runs, from scoping to delivery.
-
Scoping
Before the event, you and I agree on the key moments, the speakers not to miss, the messages the film needs to carry and the formats your team will need. That’s where the story of the film is decided.
-
The shoot
On the day, I film the arrivals, the venue and its details, the highlights on stage, the reactions in the room and the mood of the breaks, without getting in the way of speakers or guests.
-
The interviews
A few short interviews, on the spot or in a studio set up on site, with speakers, partners or attendees, in English, French or Dutch.
-
The edit
I build a story: an opening, a build-up, a high point and an ending that makes people want to come back next year. Then come the music, the voice-over if you chose one, and the subtitles.
-
Delivery
Within a week, the aftermovie in landscape and portrait, then the versions you need: interview clips, short cuts, subtitled versions.
For an event over several days with parallel sessions, I recommend two videographers: one dedicated to the aftermovie, the other to interviews and workshops. You keep one contact.

Projects, in detail
The price
From €950 excl. VAT for an aftermovie.
These are guidelines: everything can be adapted, and I’m happy to talk it through with you.
The questions that keep coming up.
The aftermovie keeps working long after: on your social channels, on your website, in the invitation to the next edition.
If it helps, I plan beforehand with your comms team, or your agency, what gets published, where and when. The film is then shot for those channels from the start: framed for vertical too, clear with the sound off, with an opening that hooks.
How much does an aftermovie cost?
From €950 excl. VAT. The price then depends on the approach, the length of the event and the extra versions. These are guidelines: everything can be adapted, and I’m happy to talk it through with you.
When do I get the aftermovie?
Within a week, in landscape and portrait. Interview clips follow the same timing, and some can be cut on the day. Everything can be adapted to your schedule.
How long is an aftermovie?
Usually between 45 and 90 seconds: long enough to tell the story of the event, short enough to be watched to the end on social media. The length adapts to your brief.
Which languages are the subtitles in?
In the aftermovie, speaker soundbites are subtitled. I conduct interviews in English, French or Dutch, and I can translate the subtitles into almost any language, Chinese included.
What about multi-day events or several rooms?
Then I recommend two videographers: one for the aftermovie, the other for interviews and workshops. You keep one contact, from brief to delivery.
How can we use the images?
By default, the images are for your social channels and website. A full transfer of rights is arranged when the contract requires it, which is often the case with institutions and public tenders.
