Event Videographer Brighton – Live Music and BTS Filming at Patterns

Filming live music and BTS content at Patterns in Brighton – capturing Knox Hill’s performance and the energy of the crowd from the front row.

I was booked as an event videographer in Brighton to cover a live music show at Patterns, featuring American rapper and YouTuber Knox Hill. The project involved filming both behind-the-scenes activity and live performances, with content created for Patreon and social media.

The show took place on in June, with doors opening at 6:00 PM and performances running through to around 10:00 PM. Crowd numbers were expected to be between 200 and 300 people, with the venue set in the basement space at Patterns.

Videographer for Live Events with BTS Coverage

The brief included capturing behind-the-scenes footage during soundcheck and artist preparation, followed by full coverage of the live performances. I worked as part of a two-person video team, allowing coverage to run across different phases of the evening without interruption.

From 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, one camera focused on:

• soundcheck activity

• artist preparation

• venue setup

• pre-show moments backstage

After a short break, coverage resumed for doors opening at 6:00 PM and continued through the live performances.

Music Performance Coverage in a Live Venue

The running order included multiple opening acts, followed by Viktus, with Knox Hill performing later in the evening. Both Viktus and Knox Hill’s sets were filmed in full, with attention given to stage presence, crowd response, and movement throughout the space.

As a videographer for live events, the setup included:

• one static wide camera covering the full stage

• one handheld camera for movement, performer detail, and audience interaction

Audio capture was handled separately, with my role focused solely on visual coverage. This allowed consistent framing and uninterrupted filming throughout the performances.

Content for Patreon and Social Media

The footage was commissioned for use on Patreon and social platforms. For Patreon, the content was intended to be split into two parts:

• a behind-the-scenes video showing preparation and soundcheck

• a performance-focused video capturing the live show and crowd atmosphere

Particular attention was given to filming the audience, as the crowd energy was a key part of the brief for this event.

Live Music Filming in Brighton

Projects like this require coordination across schedules, performers, and venue logistics. Filming live music in a basement venue also brings specific challenges around lighting, movement, and crowd density, all of which need to be accounted for during capture.

For artists, promoters, or venues looking for an event videographer in Brighton to cover live music performances, behind-the-scenes activity, or crowd-focused content, experience with live shows and flexible camera setups plays a major role in the final result.
