Event videography at Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, priced up front. Keynotes, recap films and attendee testimonials from a two-person crew that knows how the room works, stays out of the way and delivers in days. Packages start at $3,000 and every number is published on this page.
The room
The Kauffman Center is the most photographed building in Kansas City for a reason, and it hosts more than performances: commencements, award ceremonies, donor evenings in the Brandmeyer Great Hall, lectures and the kind of corporate presentation that wants a real stage. Helzberg Hall and the Muriel Kauffman Theatre are both purpose-built rooms with house crews who know exactly how a production should run.
Filming in a performing arts venue means working inside the house's rules: camera positions cleared in advance, no light spill on the stage, audio from the house board rather than a microphone in the room. We advance all of it with the Center's production staff, and we treat the lobby and the Great Hall, with the glass wall over the city, as the place for arrivals, receptions and the interview corner.
How we work the Kauffman Center
- House rules — Camera positions, movement and any lighting are cleared with the Center's production staff in advance; we make that call.
- Audio — House board feed for anything on stage; lavs for the Great Hall interview corner.
- Lighting — The stage is lit by professionals; we do not add to it. The Great Hall's glass wall is the backdrop for receptions and interviews.
- Ceremonies — Commencements and award nights are covered with a locked stage camera and a roaming second body on the audience.
- Deliverables — Ceremony edits, a recap film for the institution and short clips for social.
What we film at Kauffman Center
Commencements and award ceremonies
Locked stage coverage with clean board audio, the audience reactions and the moments families want.
Donor evenings and receptions
The Great Hall at dusk, the program and the donor stories at a lit interview corner.
Lectures and corporate presentations
Speaker capture with slide sync, cut individually for the content library.
Recap films
The building, the room and the night, cut into the film that sells the next season or the next campaign.
How the day runs
Send us the run of show: session times, speaker names, where the stage is. We call the venue and your AV vendor before the day to sort out access, power and a line-level audio feed, because clean stage audio is the difference between a film and a recording. On the day it is the same two people every time, Josh and Brandon, one on the stage and one roaming, with a lit interview corner set up where the venue allows so we can pull speakers and attendees between sessions without anyone missing a session. Vertical cut-downs can go out the same day if you book them; session edits and the recap film land within about two weeks, with unlimited revisions.
What it costs
The Event Recap on the standard menu below is $7,000: a full day of coverage cut into one recap. Conferences and multi-speaker days use the lineup from our event video page instead. Keynote Coverage is $5,000 for a full day on the stage with one camera, up to eight sessions cut individually with clean board audio; each additional camera is $750 and slide sync is $250 per session. The Testimonial Montage is $3,000, with individual cut-downs at $250 each. The Recap Film is $8,500, highlights-style coverage of the stage, the room and the hallways with a two-to-three-day edit and licensed music included. The Full Package is $16,000 and puts two-camera Keynote Coverage, the Recap Film and the Testimonial Montage on one event, $1,250 off booking them separately. Kauffman Center is inside our standard Kansas City metro coverage, so there is no travel line on any of these, and the venue's sales team or your planner can book the same packages at the same prices and add us to a client's event order.
Who we have worked with
We have produced event work for Commodity Classic, Village Capital, NAYDO's Philanthropy Live, IBM Think, the Digital Wrap Conference and MOCSA, alongside the corporate, nonprofit and brand films on the rest of this site. Everything is shot, directed, cut, colored and mixed by our own crew; nothing is subcontracted and nothing in our portfolio came from somebody else's shoot.

Can you film inside the Kauffman Center?
Yes, within the Center's production rules. Camera positions and any movement are cleared in advance with their staff; we handle that.
Can you film a commencement in Helzberg Hall?
Yes. Locked coverage of the stage with audio from the house board, a roaming camera on the audience, and an interview corner in the Great Hall for graduate and family stories.
Do you charge travel downtown?
No. Downtown Kansas City is home turf and inside our standard metro coverage.
