Explaining Climate Change with Videos: My Work for the Climate Conference at the University of Konstanz

14/4/2025

0 Comments

 

​Real-Time Content: Teaser & Instant Video

Before the event began, I created a teaser video to build momentum and invite people to attend. It was shared through the university's channels and helped generate early interest.

​During the conference itself, I produced an Instant Video on the first day that was shot, edited, and published the same evening. This short recap was not only shared online but also shown the next morning as an opening highlight for Day 2, giving participants a shared memory and renewed energy.

A Comprehensive Video Series

At the center of my contribution was a four-part video series designed to communicate the scientific and regional aspects of climate action in a visually engaging way:
  1. From Samples to Data
    This video followed the journey from collecting environmental samples to analyzing them and generating usable climate data—offering a glimpse into the research processes behind climate monitoring.
  2. Cascade Effects and Quagga Mussels
    This episode explored the ecological impact of invasive Quagga mussels in Lake Constance and how such small organisms can create large-scale ripple effects within the ecosystem and regional climate.
  3. Lake Heat Systems: How Seethermie Works
    Filmed during the Mainau Climate Dialogue and in the region, this video gave an inside look at lake-based thermal energy systems—explaining how heat from the lake is harnessed and what role this technology could play in a sustainable energy future.
  4. Ocean Currents and Climate Change
    The final part tackled global climate mechanisms, showing how ocean currents influence climate systems and how this knowledge is connected to regional understanding and policy.
Each video was carefully planned, shot, and edited to ensure clarity, depth, and accessibility—making complex scientific ideas easier to grasp for a broader audience.

Instant-Coverage in Brussels: Peacebuilding in Real Time with EPLO

20/2/2025

0 Comments

 
On 20 February 2025, I had the opportunity to provide Instant-Coverage for the European Peacebuilding Liaison Office (EPLO) at their high-level civil society meeting in Brussels. The event formed part of the European contribution to the UN Peacebuilding Architecture Review 2025 (PBAR), gathering peacebuilding voices from across the continent.
Fast, Relevant, and EngagingFor this event, I produced two short videos of approximately 60 seconds each:
  • The first video was released during the coffee break at 12:00, capturing the early energy of the day and featuring voices on why civil society matters in shaping the UN Peacebuilding Architecture.
  • The second video followed the closing remarks at 18:00, summarising the key takeaways and highlighting the call for local peacebuilders to be at the centre of implementation efforts.
Both videos were shared by EPLO on LinkedIn and generated strong engagement:
  • 📹 First Instant-Video: 57 Likes, 1 Comment, 7 Reposts
  • 📹 Second Instant-Video: 50 Likes, 13 Reposts
These results outperformed typical posts from previous years, clearly demonstrating how real-time storytelling increases reach and relevance.

Delivering More Than Just Videos
In addition to the instant clips, I also:
  • Delivered a combined recap video the following afternoon (Friday), offering a broader overview of the event. This was then published on Monday, 24 February, helping to maintain post-event visibility.
  • Provided 50 professionally edited photographs by the next morning, capturing key moments, speakers, and the collaborative atmosphere.

Why Instant-Coverage Works:
This assignment once again highlighted how timely, emotional storytelling can amplify the impact of important conversations. People are far more likely to engage with fresh, in-the-moment content—especially when it authentically reflects the tone and purpose of the event.
​

Many thanks to the EPLO team and all participants for making this a meaningful day of peacebuilding dialogue.

Instant-Video = Instant Impact for Wirtschaftsjunioren

13/2/2025

0 Comments

 
On 01.02.2025, I attended the Chapter Presidents' Meeting (Kreissprechertreffen) 2025 in Berlin as the chapter president of WJ Konstanz-Hegau, connecting with fellow leaders from JCI Baden-Württemberg and Wirtschaftsjunioren Deutschland. I filmed and edited an Instant-Video about the day to inform my local chapter members on what is happening and the Instant-Video went online the next morning while I was on my train back to Konstanz.
The reactions surprised me as well when it became the most watched video from our Instagram channel as well as the county channel of WJ Baden-Württemberg as well as WJ Germany. 

Click the link here to the Instant-Video on Instagram: www.instagram.com/p/DFkP3f3IdO2/

This once again proves the crucial point of Instant-Videos: If you want maximum visibility, event videos need to go live as soon as possible. The sooner people can relive the experience, the greater the impact. Waiting weeks to publish a recap means missing out on the momentum, the emotions, and the audience’s attention.

Thank you all for the great feedback and response for the video.

Instant Video Success at the Eugen-Biser-Stiftung Conference: "Muslimisch. Bayerisch. Perspektiven auf Heimat"

2/12/2024

0 Comments

 
On 2nd December 2024, I had the privilege of working with the Eugen-Biser-Stiftung and the Bayerische Landesverein für Heimatpflege e.V. to document their incredible conference, "Muslimisch. Bayerisch. Perspektiven auf Heimat." Held in the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Home in Nuremberg, this event was all about exploring the idea of "Heimat" (homeland) in a pluralistic society. With voices from politics, culture, and academia—including Bavaria's Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann and Spiegel editor Dunja Ramadan—it was a day full of thought-provoking discussions and inspiring ideas.

Real-Time Impact with Instant Videos:
​

Instead of creating a traditional aftermovie weeks or months later, the focus here was on Instant-Videos and Instant-Photos — a game-changing approach to event coverage. Throughout the day, I produced four short, thematic videos that were shared on social media in real time. By the end of the conference, I had also created a full aftermovie, which was shown to the audience during the event’s closing session. The reaction? A stunned and engaged crowd with many questions on how it is possible to create it this fast.

The Results Speak Volumes
  • 4 Instant-Videos: Garnered 4,025 views during the event.
  • Full Aftermovie: Premiered at the event and later achieved 1,032 views online.
  • Overall Reach: Over 16,000 impressions, with 172 likes across 5 video assets.

These numbers highlight the real benefit of sharing multiple short videos during an event. They keep the momentum alive and the audience engaged while everything is still fresh.

Why Instant-Coverage is a Game-Changer

For events like this, real-time video production transforms how organisers engage their audience:
​
  • It creates immediate social media buzz during the event.
  • The audience gets to relive the highlights right away with a same-day aftermovie.
  • The reach and impressions are far higher compared to a single video posted weeks later.

This project reinforced how powerful Instant-Videos can be for amplifying an event’s message. It was a pleasure to help bring the "Muslimisch. Bayerisch. Perspektiven auf Heimat" conference to life and share its impact with the world.

Let’s create something extraordinary for your next event!

Capturing EFEE’s ESMTT Final Conference with Instant-Video and Photography

28/11/2024

0 Comments

 
On 28th November, I had the pleasure of documenting the Final Conference of the Effective School Management in the Twin Transition (ESMTT) project, hosted by the European Federation of Education Employers (EFEE). This important initiative addressed how green and digital transitions are reshaping education, offering solutions to support teachers while aligning with the European Green Deal and the European Pillar of Social Rights.
Instant-Video at Its BestTo ensure the event’s message resonated with attendees and beyond, I created a single Instant-Video summarising the day’s key highlights. The video was shown to the audience at the end of the conference, providing a powerful and immediate recap of the event’s most impactful moments.

Picture
In addition to the video, I provided photography coverage throughout the conference, capturing:
  • Dynamic presentations and panel discussions.
  • Engaging moments during networking sessions.
  • The vibrant energy of the attendees and speakers.

These visuals are ideal for post-event communication, future reports, and ongoing social media engagement.
Highlights of the ConferenceThe conference featured pivotal discussions and insights, including:
  • Research Findings: Identifying 26 barriers to adopting green and digital technologies.
  • Policy Recommendations: Emphasising sustainable teaching practices, better time management, and the importance of EU funding.
  • Innovative Practices:
    • Jeff the Robot, easing administrative workloads for teachers.
    • Sustainability initiatives at Kinsale Community College in Ireland.
    • Practical solutions for after-hours teaching tasks from HAIS, Greece.

Why Instant-Video MattersBy delivering the video on the same day, EFEE was able to end the conference with a memorable highlight that inspired attendees and reinforced the project’s core message. Combining this with professional photography ensured that the event’s impact was preserved for future communication and engagement.
It was an honour to contribute to this meaningful project and help share its vision of innovation and sustainability in education.

I had the pleasure to capture the AIXCHANGE conference for cyberLAGO - The Digital Competence Network at Lake Constance and produce an Instant-Video that we showed directly at the end of the conference to a surprised audience. 

"And if you're wondering which AI is capable of filming a video on the day of the event, editing it simultaneously, and having it ready to be shown live at the closing session – well, we can't answer that either.But we do know that Patrick Doodt does it brilliantly.
​Thank you for this fantastic highlight reel!"

Instant-Coverage for Videos and Photography at cyberLAGO Anniversary with same day delivery

An aftermovie directly at the end of the event? 

I had the pleasure to cover the 10th anniversary of cyberLAGO e.V. - The Digital Competence Network at Lake Constance and cover the event with my Instant-Video and Photography service. As one of the highlights of the event, while the final dinner and networking was in progress, the Aftermovie was edited and shown directly at the end of the event. 
Picture

Next to the Instant-Video I also produced Instant-Photos that were delivered on the same day:

Reactions:

"​Unbelievable: When Andreas Owen and I spoke the closing words on stage at our anniversary celebration, the film for the event was already edited. You have to imagine this: Patrick Doodt comes (alone), films the stage program, takes many great photos of it almost on the side, AND edits the film simultaneously, so it’s finished just before the end of the program. I find that incredible. Great job, dear Patrick, thank you very much!"
