Filmorite Ltd was hired by Dyani Lababedi, a dancer and choreographer, to film a performance she created together with two other dancers. The goal was to capture the full choreography in a clean, cinematic way that reflects both the technical skill and the creative energy of the routine. We supported the project from the very beginning, helping Dyani choose the location, review references and shape the overall visual style. If you are searching for a videographer or video editor for a dance video in Wilmslow, Altrincham or anywhere in Greater Manchester, this showcase demonstrates exactly how we work.

Behind the Scenes Story
The project began with two planning calls where we discussed the vibe of the video, reviewed Dyani’s reference clips and explored possible locations. Before filming day, Dyani recorded her choreography on her own, and we had another call of about forty minutes to go through all the details.
At The Colony HQ in Wilmslow, we arrived early and spent about one hour and ten minutes setting up the camera and lighting. The space had enough room for movement but was slightly dark, so we used a combination of LED panels, a strong Godox 400B and two additional spotlights to shape the dancers and separate them from the background.
We started by filming the entire choreography on a tripod using the Sony FX3 and a wide G Master lens. The routine was divided into four parts, so we filmed several takes of each section. After every few takes, the dancers reviewed the footage on the Atomos Ninja V. This allowed them to spot small details and make adjustments before recording again.
Once we had the stable tripod shots, we moved to dynamic gimbal filming. This added many more creative angles and gave the choreography a more immersive feel. The combination of both filming methods is what makes dance videos feel complete, so we always recommend capturing both styles.
Across the 4-hour performance window, we filmed many takes, refined movement timing and adjusted lighting to match the energy of each section. The final result is a clean and expressive dance video with firm structure and visually rich movement.

Google review: https://share.google/aAs2NEUz0XeZjhYPq The filming process was very smooth, Viktor was very positive and enthusiastic during the project. An initial video call with the editor to describe my vision to him would have made the editing process faster, but in the end, Viktor made sure the video was exactly how I wanted it and was quick to fix any issues. I would recommend Filmorite to anyone in need of high-quality filming!
