Event video in Edinburgh
An invitation to a future event and a record of a past one make different claims. Notlith helps Edinburgh organisers create trailers and photo-based recaps through remote hybrid production. We use supplied images, creative direction, AI-assisted treatments and editing while keeping planned scenes separate from evidence of what actually happened.
Remote production · From your photos
Decide whether you are inviting or documenting
A festival-season promotion might need to communicate a mood and direct audiences towards booking. A recap needs authentic images from the event itself. We establish that distinction before choosing any visual treatment. Edinburgh's festival identity is useful context, but it gives no organisation an automatic association with a named programme. Supply approved event names and participation details where relevant. A concept trailer can be imaginative provided viewers are not led to believe its fictional scenes are records of a previous performance.
Let real programme material carry the information
For a talk, exhibition or gathering, provide the actual venue photographs and the organiser's confirmed programme wording. The property concept illustrates how a room can be introduced; it says nothing about an event's scale or prestige. We can establish the setting, then organise titles around the main reason to attend. Unconfirmed speakers, sponsors or schedules should not be embedded as settled facts. Keep changeable programme detail on a maintained event page where possible, with the film pointing towards it.
Build a recap from moments you can identify
Photographs can support a retrospective sequence when their event, date and permissions are known. Group arrivals, audience views, stage images and closing moments so the edit follows an honest account. AI-assisted movement must not manufacture a speech, applause or a crowd response. If the exact live moment matters, authentic recorded footage is needed. The film can still bring pacing, captions and music to a photographic record. It should state its nature clearly rather than resemble an unqualified live aftermovie.
Prepare partners' versions without changing the facts
A reception or hospitality segment may need a quieter edit than a performance announcement. Use actual table and room references, and identify any sponsor messages separately. An organiser working around the Edinburgh Fringe should confirm the precise relationship before programme branding appears. We can scope different endings for ticket pages, partner newsletters and social channels. Image permissions, soundtrack use and contributor credits belong in the brief. Review focuses on event facts as well as pacing, with no guaranteed ticket sales implied.

Plan the details
Can you cover an event live in Edinburgh?
This offer is remote, photo-led production. It does not include an on-site reporting crew or live stream. Documentary coverage requires a separately arranged real recording.
Can last year's photos promote the next edition?
Yes, when the year and context are clear and permissions allow it. Do not use them to imply confirmed performers, layouts or programme items that have changed.
Can you reconstruct a missing audience shot?
An invented audience is not a substitute for evidence. A clearly labelled illustrative scene may be discussed for a trailer, but not passed off as attendance at the event.
What does the organiser need to approve?
Confirm names, dates, venue, booking destination and the context of every source. Agree which visuals are documentary and which are concepts before the final edit is released.
Start with your images
Tell us whether the film announces or recalls the event, then share the programme and cleared photographs. We will define the right evidential boundaries.
