Koelnmesse as a film location

Koelnmesse lies in Deutz, on the right bank of the Rhine, facing the cathedral. Many recaps we cut here open with exactly that view: cathedral and river from the fairground side, two seconds long, and everyone knows where the film was made. We shoot it early in the morning on the way from Köln Messe/Deutz station to the entrance, so it costs you no time on the stand.

The halls are numbered 1 to 11, and several have two or three levels, so hall 10.2 is a floor, not a separate building. Tell us hall, level and stand number and we plan the walk and the lifts with tripod and lights in advance. The covered Boulevard linking the halls has daylight and works for interviews when your stand is too loud. Inside the halls the light is artificial and even.

Public show, trade show, stage: three ways to film

Koelnmesse mixes public, trade and conference formats, and each needs a different film. At gamescom in August and FIBO in April the halls are loud and full, and stands work with LED walls and music. Clean stand shots only happen before the doors open. After that the film is about energy: queues, reactions, players, the stage. We set shutter and frame rate to the LED walls so nothing flickers, and we shoot a lot of vertical, because this audience lives on TikTok and Instagram.

The interior shows are the opposite: ORGATEC in October 2026, imm cologne in January and interzum in May 2027. Here slow gimbal moves, surfaces, fabrics and fittings in motion carry the film, and a short interview with the designer or product manager explains what you see. At ISM, Anuga FoodTec and Anuga the story is tasting and production; at IDS in March it is demonstrations at close range.

dmexco in September is mostly stage and conversation, in front of an audience that produces content itself. Talks on your stand or in your own session are recorded with two to four cameras and sound from the mixing desk, delivered as a full recording plus one cut per speaker. For the organiser's stages we clear permission in advance.

Travel, timing and delivery

Cologne is about an hour from our office in Essen, and travel is part of every package. At public shows we start deliberately early, an hour before the doors open, and place interviews in the quieter last hours of the day. For trade shows a block around opening time is often enough.

Footage goes to our editing team during the day. Recap and vertical clips are with you within 24 hours, first clips usually the same evening. If you host a customer reception or a stand party on a show evening, we build it into the filming day.

FAQ

Questions about trade fair video in Cologne

What does trade fair video at Koelnmesse cost?

Basic €990 for two hours with a 30-second recap and one vertical clip, Professional €1,490 for four hours with two clips, Full Day €1,990 with recap, 90-second film, interviews and three clips. Photos are included each time; all prices plus VAT, travel to Cologne included.

How do you film at gamescom when the hall is full?

Stand shots before the doors open, then crowd, reactions and stage. Interviews are recorded with lavalier microphones; if the stand is too loud, we move to the Boulevard.

Our LED wall flickers on phone videos. Will yours?

No. We match shutter and frame rate to the wall and test it before the first shot on your stand, so screens stay steady in the film.

Our stand is on level 10.2. Does that change anything?

Only the walk. With hall, level and stand number we plan the route and the lifts in advance, and the price stays the same.

Can you record our talk at dmexco?

Yes, with two to four cameras and sound from the mixing desk, as a full recording and one cut per speaker. The quote depends on programme and length; for the organiser's stages we clear permission first.

How fast is the recap ready?
