13 Feb Case Study: High-Quality Video for DARETOGROW / Live
At IX7 Media, we don’t just film events—we turn them into powerful, high-quality media assets that expand your brand’s reach long after the day is over. For the latest DARETOGROW Live event at Leeds Beckett University’s Knowledge Exchange, we deployed a full-scale media production team to capture every moment, from the high-energy keynote to intimate networking moments and even an awe-inspiring drone shot from the roof.
Professional Event Filming with the Canon XA70
To ensure every word, movement, and reaction was captured in stunning detail, we filmed the full day using the Canon XA70 4K professional camcorder. Known for its incredible clarity and rich colour accuracy, this camera allowed us to produce broadcast-quality footage that can be repurposed for YouTube, courses, and social media.
To complement this, we used a dual-camera setup, providing multiple angles to create a more engaging final edit. Whether it was a close-up of the speaker delivering a powerful point or a wide-angle shot of the audience fully engaged, we had every perspective covered.

Crisp, Clear Audio – No Matter Where the Speaker Stands
Great video is nothing without great audio. We set up the speaker with a remote wireless microphone, ensuring that every word was captured with crystal-clear precision—no echo, no background noise, no dropouts. Whether pacing the stage or engaging with the audience, the speaker’s voice remained sharp and professional, making the final video feel as immersive as being there in person.
The Photography & Drone Footage Experience
To truly elevate the visual storytelling, we brought in Bill Bean from Bean Photographed—a master of event photography and aerial cinematography.
Bill didn’t just capture the event; he documented the energy, the connections, and the impact of the day. From dynamic crowd interactions to behind-the-scenes moments, his photography added depth and personality to the content. But the real showstopper?

Why This Matters: Turning a Talk into a Digital Asset
The magic of a live event shouldn’t end when the day is over. With professional filming, photography, and aerial footage, we transformed DARETOGROW Live into a high-quality, multi-platform content package, including:
– A full-length keynote video for replays, online courses, and YouTube.
– Shorter clips optimised for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn, designed for maximum engagement.
– Professional photography and cinematic drone shots, bringing storytelling to life with high-impact visuals.
With this approach, the speaker’s message isn’t just heard by the people in the room—it reaches thousands online, turning a single event into an ongoing marketing asset.
