Event Videographer in Canberra
CONFERENCES, FESTIVALS, LAUNCHES AND AWARDS NIGHTS. HIGHLIGHT VIDEOS PEOPLE ACTUALLY WATCH.
I film conferences, community festivals, product launches, awards nights and government events across Canberra and the ACT. You get a short, polished highlight video that captures the speeches, the atmosphere and the people, ready to share on your website and social media.
With more than 16 years in film, TV commercials and AAA game production, I know how to tell the story of your event in a few minutes, not a few hours.
The video above is from the Africa in the Park festival in Canberra: live music, dancers, drummers, families and stallholders, all captured in one day.
Need photos too? Matching event photography can be booked for the same day, with one point of contact and one invoice.
Every enquiry gets a fixed quote within 12 hours.
Meet Matt — The Event Videographer You’ll Actually Get
I’m Matt Matoori, and I run Distant Blue. When you book event videography, I’m the one who turns up. Not a subcontractor.
Before the day, we go through your run sheet together and agree the must-have moments: the keynote, the award handovers, the performances and the crowd.
On the day, I move quietly through the room, capture clean sound from the speeches and film the details that make your event feel special.
My background is in film, VFX and TV commercials, so your highlight video gets cinematic shots, licensed music and a polished edit.
After the event, you review the first cut and I make your changes before final delivery.
