Trade show booth video and photography in Taipei: a guide for exhibitors

What should you film at your trade show booth?

Film five things: a booth walk-through, product demos, interviews, stage sessions and crowd atmosphere. Together they give you social clips during the show, a highlight reel afterward and material for sales decks all year.

Shot	What it looks like	Best time
Booth walk-through	One smooth take through the booth, logo to key products	First hour of the day, before aisles fill
Product demos	Close-ups of hands, screens and moving parts, plus a wide shot	Scheduled demo slots
Exec and customer interviews	1-3 minutes each, lavalier mic, booth as background	Quiet hours, usually mid-morning or late afternoon
Stage and keynote sessions	Your talks at the booth stage or a show forum	Fixed by the schedule
Crowd and atmosphere	Visitors at the booth, handshakes, badge scans, busy aisles	Peak hours, around midday
Photos	Team portraits, product hero shots, VIP visits	Throughout the day

Shoot the walk-through and product close-ups early. By midday, visitors stand in every frame.

How do you get social clips out during the show?

Plan the clips before the show, not on the floor. Pick 3-5 subjects in advance, like a new product, a customer quote or a keynote line, and the crew shoots for those.

Our social clips cost NT$1,600-2,000 each, or NT$8,000-10,000 for 5, with English and Chinese subtitles. Each clip is cut vertically or square for LinkedIn, X and Instagram. Standard delivery is within 5 working days, and 48-hour rush is +20%.

For posts that go out the same evening, ask for it in your quote request. We plan editing time on site and price it separately. The pricing logic is in what short videos cost in Taiwan.

Can you live stream from your booth?

Often yes, but the show decides. Streaming, sound levels and booth power are covered in each show’s exhibitor manual, and the rules differ between COMPUTEX, SEMICON Taiwan and smaller shows. Read the manual and confirm with the organizer before you plan a stream.

Never stream over hall Wi-Fi. It slows to a crawl once visitors arrive. Every stream we run uses a wired line plus a 5G backup, and we record locally as well. Order the booth power and, if the organizer offers it, a wired internet line before their deadline.

A one-camera stream of your booth stage costs NT$28,000-35,000 for a half day, or NT$40,000-48,000 for a full day. More detail is in how to live stream an event and on our live streaming service page.

What language are the interviews in?

The interview should be in whatever language your speaker is most relaxed in. We work in English, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean, so we brief your Japanese or Korean executive in their own language, then do the same for a Taiwanese customer in Chinese.

A short brief before recording matters more than the camera. Speakers who know the three questions beforehand give shorter, sharper answers, and those answers cut into clips easily.

How many crew do you need per day?

It depends on what you want out. Here are the three plans exhibitors book most often (NT$, before 5% tax):

Plan	Crew	Cost per day
Basic	Camera operator, full day, plus 5 social clips	22,000-28,000
Standard	Camera operator + photographer, full day, plus 5 social clips	40,000-50,000
Stage day	Standard plan + half-day live stream of the booth stage	68,000-85,000

A full day means up to 8 hours on site, and overtime is NT$3,000-3,500 per hour per camera after that. Our camera operators bring their own kit; see the camera operator service.

You don’t need the full crew every day. A common setup for a four-day show is the standard plan on day one, when the booth is fresh and executives are in town, then a camera operator alone on one later day for customer interviews.

What does a two-day booth package cost?

Here is a worked example for a two-day package at a show like COMPUTEX:

Item	Cost (NT$)
Camera operator, 2 full days	28,000-36,000
Photographer, 1 full day	18,000-22,000
5 social clips with EN + Chinese subtitles	8,000-10,000
Highlight reel, 60-90 seconds	8,000-10,000
Total before 5% tax	62,000-78,000

All packages are on our pricing page. Bigger jobs, like several booths or multi-camera keynotes, go to vetted partner crews, and we stay your single contact.

When should you book a trade show video crew?

Book 6-8 weeks before most shows. For COMPUTEX (June 1-4, 2027), book as soon as your booth is confirmed, since thousands of exhibitors want coverage the same week. SEMICON Taiwan moves earlier in 2027, to August 18-20, so check your plans against the new dates. Our Taipei trade show calendar lists all the dates and venues.

Exhibitor checklist before the show

1. Confirm your hall, booth number and floor plan, and send them to the crew.
2. Read the exhibitor manual’s rules on filming, streaming and sound levels.
3. Get exhibitor or contractor badges for the crew, including set-up days if you want build footage.
4. Order booth power, plus a wired internet line if you plan to stream.
5. Lock interview guests, languages and time slots, and send questions in advance.
6. Share demo times, stage schedule and any embargoed products we shouldn’t film.
7. Send logos, fonts and brand colors for clip graphics.
8. Name one person at the booth who can make decisions on the day.
