Video Department (VIDEO DEPT.) is a Fort Lauderdale video production studio, a short drive from the Broward County Convention Center. At TPIE, the Tropical Plant International Expo, we film growers' and suppliers' booths: new varieties and products, short interviews with the buyers you meet, a 1–2 minute recap and all the raw footage, delivered within a week. $3,000, fixed.

What to film
What's worth filming at TPIE
Buyers come to TPIE to see what's new before anyone else has it. A booth day gives you footage of your plants and products at their best, and buyers saying why they order from you.
New varieties, true to color
Foliage and flowers lit and shot so the greens and colors look the way they do in person.
Your growing story
Short interviews with your growers and sales team about how and where it's grown.
Buyer voices
Garden centers and interiorscapers who already stock your plants, on camera at your booth.
Award moments
The Booth & Showcase Awards (Wed, 3 p.m.) and Cool Products Awards (Thu, 1 p.m.) in the Create Theater.
Badges: each booth comes with 10 badges per 100 square feet, good for all three days. TPIE doesn't say whether a hired crew may wear one, so we confirm it with the show when you book.
Contractor paperwork: TPIE's show rules ask exhibitors to tell show management about any outside firm at least 30 days before the show, and the service manual's contractor form and insurance certificate are due December 28, 2026. Book early and we'll go through it with you.
Sound: loudspeakers and PA systems aren't allowed in booths, so interviews are recorded with lavalier mics.
Live streaming needs the building's internet: the Broward County Convention Center doesn't allow personal hotspots or routers. Drones need the venue's written approval.

Common questions
How much does booth video at TPIE cost?
At Video Department (VIDEO DEPT.), the Event Package is $3,000, fixed, for one show day of up to 8 hours at your booth: a 1–2 minute recap film in horizontal and vertical versions, 5 captioned interview reels and all the raw footage, delivered within a week with two rounds of changes. If you have your own editor, a filming-only camera day is $1,500, with the raw files sent the same night. More days or a second camera are quoted per show.
Which day should we pick?
Wednesday has the Booth & Showcase Awards at 3 p.m.; Thursday is the only full 9-to-5 day and has the Cool Products Awards at 1 p.m.; Friday closes at 2 p.m. If you're up for an award, pick that day.
Will the plants look right on video?
Yes. Convention hall light is flat and often too warm or too green, so we bring our own lights and balance the color on every shot, so your greens look like the real plants.
Can you also film at our nursery?
Yes. We're in South Florida, so a nursery or greenhouse day before or after the show is easy to add to the same fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and send a certificate of insurance (COI) with the additional insureds the show and the venue ask for. If the show has its own contractor form, we fill it in with you before the deadline.
When do we get the videos?
Within a week of the show, while the people you met are still warm leads. Two rounds of changes are included, and you own the final videos and all the raw footage.
