We were thrilled to once again be invited by Aberdeen City Council to film the incredible Big Sing 2025 event. An uplifting celebration of music, community, and youthful talent. This marks our third time covering this special occasion, having produced films for the 2023 and 2024 events.
Capturing an event of this scale, featuring hundreds of school children, live music, enthusiastic audiences, and countless moving parts requires careful planning and coordination. We were keen to showcase the full journey through to the final performance.
In the lead-up to the big day, we filmed rehearsals across several local schools. This behind-the-scenes footage highlights the dedication of the students, instructors, and music coordinator Alisdair Snedden, and builds a genuine sense of excitement leading up to the main event.
Our film crew comprised of a producer, director, drone operator, three camera operators, and a stills photographer to capture every angle of the performance. We even handed out GoPros to pupils from local schools, offering a unique, first-person view of the experience from their point of view.
The event was nothing short of joyful, energetic, and heartwarming.
Speaking of his experience helping in shooting the event and then editing it, Richard Baron said
“My Signal debut came at The Big Sing 2025 in Aberdeen. And what a way to start! With five cameras on the ground, a drone in the air, and even a GoPro in the kids’ hands, we captured the energy from every angle. Editing it down to a sharp highlights reel was a creative challenge, but the feedback from the client has been fantastic.”
Next year, we hope to be back bigger than before.
