Seaside Heights Live

Introduction

This case study outlines my videography and editing process for the star-studded Seaside Heights Live music festival on the beach. I captured exhilarating live performances and turned around social media-ready content.

The Client

Seaside Heights Live is a large one-day music festival held annually on the beach in Seaside Heights, NJ. The 2022 lineup spanned the 80s and 90s stars like TKA, Judy Torres, Darkstar Orchestra, and America.

The Challenge

The client wanted a videographer to capture the electric festival atmosphere and quickly produce videos to share during and after the event. The videos needed to excite promotional channels and excite attendees.

The Approach

• Filmed energetic festival performances up close from multiple angles in a run-and-gun style

• Captured crowd reactions, interactions between artists, and behind-the-scenes candid moments

• Edited short social media clips highlighting the top moments from each set

• Turned around 10+ videos within 24 hours for instant social media sharing

• Created recap and promotional reels using footage from throughout the day

The Result

My real-time festival videos helped boost social engagement and got attendees hyped. The client was able to immediately share content rather than wait. The quick turnaround also enabled promotional use after the event ended.

Key Takeaway

As an experienced event videographer, I excel at shooting in dynamic run and gun environments like concerts and festivals. I move quickly to capture high-quality footage onsite, then rapidly produce edited videos for social media impact.
