Happy Clients
"Amazing 😀 Will definitely keep you in mind for upcoming shoots, would love to work together again!"
We worked with Jemma to capture content for a number of events in Los Angeles surrounding a new product launch. Our crew member Angelou and his assistant covered all events, capturing compelling video and epic photos to ensure the impact of the campaign lasts long past the end of the event. The result? Epic content for an epic business.

Recent work in Chicago
A selection of recent shoots Fame Crew has filmed in Chicago, delivered by our vetted local videographers.
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.
How It Works
Our growth-focused team of global event video ninjas will guide you through the following process:
- 1
The Brief 📝Tell us where, when, and what. Whether it’s a keynote in London, a panel in New York, or a client testimonial in Singapore, we’ve got boots on the ground.
- 2
The Shoot 🎥A Fame-vetted videographer arrives on site. They don't just stand there; they understand B2B angles, audio hygiene, and how to capture content that converts.
- 3
The Assets 🚀We don't just dump raw files on you (unless you want us to). We deliver polished, brand-ready assets within 48 hours so you can promote the event while the buzz is still fresh.
Why We’re Different
Speed. Edited assets delivered in 48 hours.
Slow Turnaround. You get footage weeks later.
Operational Excellence. We handle the brief, shoot, and delivery.
Logistical Nightmare. You have to chase them for files.
Vetted Pros. Top 1% of video event specialists.
Inconsistent Quality. Good luck with the lighting.
B2B Specialists. They treat your CEO like a thought leader.
Wedding Shooters. They treat your CEO like a bride.
One Vendor. One invoice. Any city.
Rolodex Roulette. You need a new contact for every city.
Managed Network. If Plan A fails, we have a Plan B ready.
Solo Operators. If they get the flu, you get ghosted.

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.
