Happy Clients
"We absolutely will be using you guys as our videography service going forward!! Thank you so much for all your help so far 🙏 Fantastic service."
We worked with Hubscale to record multiple podcast episodes on two different days. Our crew member Andrew attended to capture the interviews in full whilst also supporting our host to ensure a seamless experience for the guests. The result? An "awesome" client experience...

Producer’s Note:
Producer’s Note:Navigating the infamous Loop wind tunnels and extreme winter weather means our crews always rely on heavily stabilized, weather-sealed camera packages. When covering massive industry summits at McCormick Place, we utilize advanced directional microphones to perfectly capture your keynotes amidst the echoing halls of North America’s largest convention center.

Powered by Fame OS
Three tools your last videographer didn't have.
Most crews hand over a drive and a link. Every Fame Crew shoot runs on our own software, so you can see what is happening before the shoot, find any clip after it, and approve edits without a single email thread.
- 01
Footage Log
Every clip from the shoot, organised and labelled, with the whole log searchable - and every clip transcribed, so you can find the moment someone said the thing by typing what they said. No scrubbing through hours of rushes.
Open a sample footage log → - 02
Shoot Status
One page per shoot showing exactly where things stand: crew confirmed, brief signed off, kit list, call time, payment status. You never have to email to ask what is happening.
See a live example → - 03
Asset Review Tool
Review every edit in the browser and leave comments pinned to the exact second. No download, no version confusion, no thread of timecodes pasted into email.
Try the review tool →
All three come with every shoot. There is nothing to set up and nothing extra to pay.
