2024 has been another busy year for the Smart Digital team.
Our teams have been out and about filming at venues from Dallas to Dubai, Bangkok to Barcelona – and everywhere in between….
We’ve scheduled and filmed hundreds of interviews and event highlights across the globe, all fuelled by countless mugs of coffee.
As well as our work on live events, this year also saw the launch of Smart Digital Studio which produces digital content for clients all year round. Our team films a wide range of videos both on- and off-site of events, covering all types of digital content including client case studies, explainer and instruction videos, animation and promotional videos.
Every year we look back at the videos the team has produced over the year and pick some of our favourites… and 2024 has not been short of them.
Tim Henderson: Some of the events we’ve worked on for years are on the move for 2025. In 2024, we were delighted to work with organisers, helping them to raise awareness and showcase their new host cities. Here’s a short from a shoot for Vitafoods Europe, marking the event’s move to the Catalan capitol from its previous home in Geneva.
Vitafoods Europe ….See you in Barcelona
Mark Bridges: For DTW Ignite, Smart Digital produced a creative video for the event organiser which was used to introduce the complex concept of AI – and provide an exciting way to kick off the conference.
Sean Miller: My favourite edit was an on stand video filmed for Novomatic at ICE London 2024.
It has a nice mixture of life, product and people even though it was filmed during a tight schedule… But mainly because I found an excuse to edit in lightning shooting out of Thor’s Hammer.
Natalie Cleur: With more clients looking to film short, punchy social clips, it’s been great to work on new and creative treaments to exploring events. One of my favourites this year was Fi Europe’s paper aeroplane clip.
Mark Lenner: My favourite video of 2024 was Innovate Dallas Day 1 Highlights. It was my first time doing an event so far away and there were a lot of challenges to overcome to get there. Seeing the day 1 highlight come out at the end showed me that despite this, we managed to do great work and enjoyed the rest of the show and our stay in Dallas! 🙂
Beccy Henderson: The infamous EVOLVE by Fire & Ice networking event brings the global gaming industry together outside of the halls at ICE. This year was no exception and our team was on hand at Magazine in London to film all of the performers, DJs and attendees while the party got started.
Katherine Simmons: Having started off in local radio, scriptwriting has always been one of my favourite roles. This year, I wrote highlights scripts for ICE, Vitafoods and Fi Europe. Our presenters are always game to try something a bit different. For Fi Europe, it was great to put both words – and food – in our presenter David’s mouth. He handled multitasking like a true pro!
