A day of matchmaking, told in 37 seconds.
Maze & Friends from Vienna covered Connect Day 2025, ViennaUP’s matchmaking day where start-ups, investors and companies meet in 15-minute conversations. The result: a recap in landscape and portrait format, three interviews, a lead magnet video and 22 photos.
Maze & Friends from Vienna covered Connect Day 2025 with event content, meaning film and photos that keep working after the event. Connect Day is ViennaUP’s matchmaking day: start-ups, investors and companies meet in pre-booked 15-minute conversations, with pitches and panels on stage. One shoot produced a recap in two formats, three interviews and 22 photos.
Hundreds of conversations at once. The camera still has to know where to go.
At Connect Day, conversations run every quarter of an hour. Start-ups meet investors and companies at standing tables, while the stage hosts six pitches, panels and a reverse pitch in which companies present their cooperation offers to start-ups. When you film a day like this, no moment comes around twice.
The task for Maze & Friends: capture the day so that a short look back for social media is ready afterwards, along with voices from the scene in interviews, a lead magnet video, a short film that leads interested people to sign up, and photos for the website and press.
One day, many conversations,
and a film that shows what it felt like.

Three things that last.
Know the rhythm
With 15-minute slots, nobody waits for the camera. Knowing the schedule puts you at the right table in time.
One shoot, several formats
Landscape and portrait from the same footage: the film for the website and presentations, the reel for the feed.
Made for afterwards
A lead magnet video works once the event is over: it is meant to lead interested people to sign up for the next edition.
