Your booth cost six figures, and most attendees walk past in three seconds. We get it. Lava Media builds trade show video content that stops traffic on the floor, demos your product clearly, and keeps selling long after the show closes.
Request a QuoteWe start with your show goals, your booth layout and the buyer you need to stop mid-aisle. Then we define the single message your trade show video has to land in eight seconds.

You see five creative directions, not one. We script, storyboard and lock the visual language before anyone books a studio, so approvals happen on paper instead of on set, where changes get expensive.

Live-action shoots, 3D product animation or AI-assisted rendering, whichever your booth screen actually needs. Our in-house crew shoots and our animators build, so nothing gets handed to a stranger mid-project.

You get your booth loop in every screen ratio, plus cutdowns for LinkedIn, sales follow-up and your post-show email. One shoot, one brief, a full quarter of trade show video content.
A trade show video production brief answers three questions before we shoot:
A major bank secured a sponsorship slot at a business forum and needed a polished 30-second spot for the event's big screens. We pitched five concepts and delivered inside a 1.5-week window.

The silent workhorse of your booth. We build a 60–90 second animated loop — 3D product visualisation, motion graphics and AI-assisted rendering — that reads perfectly with the sound off and runs on your screen all three days of the show.
Our most-requested trade show video production package. One live-action shoot day plus animated overlays gives you a booth loop, a product demo, two speaker or interview cutdowns, and vertical clips for LinkedIn — all from a single brief and a single crew call.
For a keynote slot, a product launch or a headline sponsorship where the screen is the size of a wall. Full agency-level concept development, professional casting, multi-day production, and a complete post-show content library built from the same footage.
We have shipped a finished 30-second commercial in a 1.5-week window, because show dates do not move.
Strategists, writers, directors, animators and editors work as one trade show video crew, so nothing is handed to a stranger.
We shoot and we animate, which means the format follows your product instead of your vendor's skill set.
Every edit is graded, framed and paced for a large screen viewed from ten feet away with the sound off.
You tell us the show, the booth, the audience and the goal. We align on creative direction before a single frame is produced.
We write scripts and storyboards for your approval, including the silent-version treatment. You see the full plan before production starts.
Depending on your package — animation, live-action or hybrid — we produce your booth loop and all supporting cutdowns in one coordinated pipeline.
You receive every asset in every screen ratio, labelled and show-ready, plus the post-show cutdowns your sales team needs for follow-up.
Tell us your show date and your budget. We will come back with a format recommendation and a fixed quote — no obligation, no sales theatre.
Most trade show video production projects land between $9,500 and $50,000. An animated booth loop starts around $9,500, a hybrid package with a live-action shoot day around $15,000, and a flagship campaign for a launch or keynote from $50,000. We quote a fixed price once the brief is agreed.
Sixty to ninety seconds, built so that any ten-second slice still makes sense on its own. Nobody on a show floor watches from the start. We design the loop with no obvious beginning and no end, and with a message that lands with the sound off.
We tie the video to countable actions: badge scans at the booth, demo requests captured on-site, and view-through plus click rates on the post-show cutdowns you send to your list and run on LinkedIn. We agree on the metric before production starts, not after.
Six to eight weeks is comfortable for a hybrid package. We have delivered a finished 30-second commercial in a 1.5-week window for a bank sponsoring a business forum, so shorter is possible — it simply costs more in parallel resourcing and leaves fewer creative options on the table.
They have to. Halls are loud and booth speakers rarely cut through. Every trade show video we deliver ships with burned-in subtitles, high-contrast typography and visual storytelling that carries the message alone. Audio becomes a bonus for the follow-up edit, not a dependency.
Yes. On-site coverage — booth b-roll, customer interviews, speaker sessions and product demos — becomes your recap video, next year's promo and a quarter of social content. Most clients pair it with a pre-built booth loop so the screen is never empty.
