Bridgwater Carnival 2023 Filming Crew Livestream and DVD production

We have been up to Bridgwater again for our 10th successful year filming the world-famous Bridgwater Carnival and parade - filming the daytime events and the evening parade for a live mix to the big LED screen and a Livestream to YouTube for the evening parade. We supplied a multi-camera crew with 4k cameras as well as wireless roaming camera to broadcast the events of the day and entertain the local crowd as well as stream the parade live to the world, for those who could not make it on the day.

Watch the Carnival Promo on the link above or directly on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/883348303 and then head over to the Bridgwater Carnival event website for more information on the charities involved and to buy your copy of this year's DVD. You can also buy a full HD copy of the procession on Vimeo there too.

We supplied a 7 person crew for filming from both static and wireless roaming camera positions, vision mixing, livestreaming, plus stereo sound recording of the procession. As well as recording the audio, we also created a live mix with live commentary by the infamous Chris Hocking which was added to the cameras and mix for the live stream and separated for the DVD and Vimeo HD version, so you can choose to watch with or without Chris's dulcet tones!.

We were also involved in prep work - getting adverts tweaked for the big screen, generating timetable screens for the daytime events, filming the carts before the procession to give viewers a chance to see them before the lights are switched on.

If you missed the event and the livestreaming then date for your diary next year, Saturday 2nd November 2024.

See us at Bridgwater Carnival 2024 Saturday 2nd November

The DVD contains the full 2-hour procession, which culminates in the famous Squibbing (holding fireworks in a safe manner!) . Viewers can watch the procession with live audio, or with the optional commentary track.

As well as the DVD, we have also created a time-lapse video which shows the whole processing in just over 2 minutes, a short promo film for the DVD & next year's carnival and also a few extra films for advertisers.

If you need help with video production we can offer a full service package including creative, filming and post-production to suit your budget. Please get in touch to discuss your next project.
