• Hyperlapse sequences of guest arrivals and check-in.
• Beauty shots of lighting, décor, and DJ setup.
• Dynamic coverage of DJ performances, crowd reactions, and dancefloor energy.
• Documenting boarding, departure, and return of the train for a complete event arc.
• Delivering both 50 edited photos and a 2-minute promotional video optimized for social media.
