Crane overhead, two wireless roaming cameras, and a wide — cut live to LED screens so the audience could follow every chef's technique up close.
We designed a crane-and-wireless camera rig specifically for culinary content and cut the signal live to the venue's LED screens.
The aftermovie we produced in post became the client's primary promotional asset for YouTube, social media, their website, and the following year's event.
The Fontegro Ukraine Chefs Congress brings together top chefs for live cooking demonstrations in front of a live audience. The challenge: a wide stage and a cooking surface that most people in the room simply cannot see well enough to follow the technique. Standard event video — a wide locked-off camera, maybe a roaming operator — does not solve that. The audience needed to feel like they were standing directly over the chef's hands.
The client also needed something durable after the event: a promotional film that could live on YouTube, social channels, and their website and keep working through the following year to drive registrations for the next edition.
Kostiantyn Moseichenko and others built a 4-camera setup around the specific demands of cooking demonstrations. A crane-mounted camera positioned above the chef's table gave a direct top-down view of the cooking surface — the angle that shows technique. Two wireless cameras moved freely through the space for tight close-ups from whatever angle the action required. A static wide anchored the cut and gave the editor a clean reference frame throughout.
The multicam signal was cut live and distributed directly to the LED screens inside Olimpiyskiy Event Hall. Every person in the room could follow what the chef's hands were doing in real time — no delay, no missed detail. The live cut ran for the full duration of the event.
After the event, we produced the aftermovie in post. The result was a single, ready-to-publish asset the client could put on YouTube, push across social media, embed on their website, and use to promote the next edition — no further production work required on their side.
The crane angle showed the audience what the chef's hands were actually doing. That was the whole point.
Kostiantyn Moseichenko — Well Run
Every person in the room had a front-row view of each chef's technique on the LED screens — the crane angle made visible what would otherwise have been hidden behind the chef's own body and the crowd.
The aftermovie gave the client a finished, multi-platform promotional asset. One production. Ready for YouTube, social channels, their website, and the next event's campaign — no additional editing required.
Culinary technique happens on the cooking surface — a flat plane that almost no angle in a live event hall lets the audience see clearly. A crane-mounted overhead camera solves that directly. It puts the lens where it needs to be: directly above the chef's hands.
The 4-camera multicam cut was fed directly to the LED screens inside Olimpiyskiy Event Hall in real time, with no delay. The audience followed the live action on screen throughout the event.
We delivered the aftermovie ready to publish on YouTube, social media channels, and the client's website, and to use as a promotional asset for the following year's Fontegro Ukraine event.
Yes. The crane-and-wireless camera rig we used here was built around the specific demands of live cooking demonstrations, but the same approach applies to any event where technique or detail needs to be visible to a live audience — masterclasses, product demonstrations, live workshops.
