Event videographer in the Zillertal

An event videographer in the Zillertal is a videographer who films conferences, company events, festivals and celebrations in the valley and turns them into an aftermovie, recorded talks, short social clips or a full documentation. Depending on the brief, one or two camera operators work with wireless audio from the stage, interviews with guests and cutaways of the atmosphere; a teaser is often ready within a day, the main edit within one to two weeks.

The valley’s biggest traditional event shows what event video here can look like. The Austrian Commission for UNESCO lists the Gauder Fest in Zell am Ziller in Austria’s national inventory of intangible cultural heritage, inscribed in 2014, and traces it back to the 15th century. Its festive parade takes place on the first Sunday in May — in 2027 that is 2 May — with more than 2,000 people in traditional costume and a different theme every year, while the young groups parade and dance on stage the day before. Alongside, men from Tyrol, Salzburg, Bavaria and Switzerland compete in Ranggeln, the traditional wrestling, for the title of Hogmoar. For a company that brings guests to the festival, or a club that wants to film its own group, the videographer needs a position along the parade route, a long lens for the wrestling ring and audio of the brass bands. With sunrise around 5.55 am and sunset around 8.25 pm in early May, there is daylight for the whole programme.
