Event Video at Marriott Downtown

Event videography at Kansas City Marriott Downtown, 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 Kansas City Marriott Downtown is the other big convention hotel. Two towers, one of them the historic Muehlebach, nearly a thousand rooms and a large run of ballroom and meeting space steps from Bartle Hall, so national conferences split their general sessions, breakouts and receptions between the Convention Center and this building all year.

We work it the way we work every convention hotel: advance with the hotel's event staff and your AV vendor, take stage audio from the board, lock a camera on the general session, and keep the second body moving between breakouts, the exhibit and the interview corner in the pre-function space. The Muehlebach side gives the recap its historic wide shots.

How we work the Marriott

• Load-in — Coordinated with the hotel's event services and your AV vendor; Bartle Hall is a short walk for a two-building conference.
• Audio — House board feed for every stage session; lavs at the interview corner.
• Lighting — Ballrooms are lit for the room; fast lenses and a stage-wash position keep the keynote clean.
• The Muehlebach — The historic tower's lobby and ballrooms give the recap its establishing shots.
• Hotel booking — The Marriott's sales and events team can add KC Video Club to a client's event order at the same published prices.

What we film at Marriott Downtown

Conferences and general sessions

Keynote coverage with clean board audio, session edits and a recap for next year's registration push.

Sales meetings and kickoffs

The keynote, the awards and the hallway energy, cut for the people who were there and the people who were not.

Banquets and award nights

The program, the speeches and the room, with honoree stories at the interview corner.

Attendee testimonials

A lit interview corner in the pre-function space, cut into a montage and individual clips.

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. Marriott Downtown 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.
