About this project
Schmidt brought a full-scale presence to Grand Designs Live at the NEC Birmingham, one of the UK's most visited interiors events, with a stand showcasing kitchen design.
The Brief
Produce multi-format exhibition coverage, long-form film and short social pieces, that positions Schmidt's Grand Designs Live presence as a flagship moment, not a one-day stand report.
The Challenge
Exhibition lighting shifts between overhead rigs and branded display fixtures, with no chance for controlled setups during visitor hours. The NEC's scale also drowns single stands.
The Approach
A site visit during build-up mapped camera positions and natural light windows from the NEC roof. Coverage was structured into setup, doors-open and macro-detail blocks.
The Execution
We shot during setup and the early-access window, capturing the stand before and during opening. Gimbal work moved through the space; macro coverage held on materials and joinery.
The Outcome
The film gave Schmidt a lasting visual asset that extended Grand Designs Live well beyond the three days, anchoring digital communication across the months that followed.
Exhibition coverage that outlasts the event
If you're exhibiting at a major trade show and want film and photography that works as brand content, not just event documentation, let's talk about your next exhibition.
