The Showmark Session

A show reel built to get you booked.

The reel is the first gig a booker ever sees. We make it in one session, with you in the room, and send you away with a year of content as well.

How a session runs

Plan. Record. Shoot. Deliver.

  1. Plan

    We agree the songs, the venue or studio and the look of the reel before anyone picks up a camera.

  2. Record and shoot

    Audio tracked properly and video shot for the lens, at a live show or in a staged session, in one day.

  3. Edit together

    You sit in on the cut. The reel is finished when it opens the way a booker needs it to, not before.

  4. Deliver

    The reel in landscape, twelve vertical cuts for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, and stills if you added the photo shoot.

Questions

Before you book.

What is in a Showmark Session?

Your audio recorded properly on the day, your performance filmed, a show reel edited with you in the room, and twelve pieces of evergreen social content cut from the same material for Reels, Shorts and TikTok. The Session and Showcase packages include a photo shoot on the same day.

Do we record live or in a session?

Either. We can film a real show in front of an audience, or set up a staged session where the band plays for the cameras. We agree which at the planning stage, based on the act and the kind of reel that will sell it.

Why is the audio recorded separately?

A reel is only as good as it sounds. Recording the audio on its own, rather than relying on what a camera microphone picks up, means the mix can be balanced properly before it goes under the pictures.

What does "edited with you" mean?

You sit in on the cut. We build the reel together until the opening works the way a booker needs it to, rather than sending a finished edit and asking for notes afterwards.

What are the twelve pieces of social content?

Twelve short vertical cuts taken from the session, each built around one song or moment, sized and formatted for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and TikTok. They are evergreen, so they can be posted across the year rather than in one burst.

Which formats do we get the reel in?

A landscape master for your website, YouTube and agent listings, the twelve vertical social cuts, and stills from the shoot if you add the photo shoot.

How much does a session cost?

There are three packages: the Reel at £699, the Session at £1,099 and the Showcase at £1,899. Each can be paid in full or as three payments spread over nine months. Travel outside Nottinghamshire and venue hire, where a venue is needed, are quoted with the booking.

Who is it for?

Function bands, tribute artists and tribute shows, theatre productions and anyone else who sells live performance and needs a booker to see it before they commit.
