One second matters. Cover it from six directions
This is the one event where the whole thing hangs on a single moment — and where one phone pointed the wrong way loses it. Hand cameras to six people, and we'll cut the reveal from every face in the yard.

Everyone films the box. Nobody films the faces.
Point twenty phones at a gender reveal and you get twenty near-identical shots of a balloon. The footage worth having is the half-second on both parents, the grandparent who reacts four seconds late, and the friends who had money on it. None of that exists unless somebody was aimed the other way on purpose.
Who should hold a camera: Pick your camera holders before the countdown and tell each one exactly whose face to point at — not where to stand. Have them start recording thirty seconds early and leave it running. That's the whole trick.

- Both parents' faces at the same instant, in split screen
- The grandparent who reacts about four seconds late
- The friend group that had money on it
- The older sibling, who has opinions
Your guests get a plan, not a lecture
Every gender reveal kit ships with table cards that explain the camera in one sentence and name six things worth pointing it at. This is a two-hour event built around three seconds, so the list is mostly about who to watch rather than what.

Three seconds, six angles, one cut
Every camera that was rolling through the countdown comes back to us. Our editors line them up against each other and cut the reveal so you see the same instant from every face in the yard.
We told four people 'do not move, do not point anywhere else.' The edit cuts between my face, his face, and his mother screaming. It's twenty seconds and it's perfect.

Priced by cameras, not hours — which matters here, because the event is short and the moment is shorter. Most gender reveals book two. Four is the one to take if you want every reaction covered at the same instant. Already have your own footage? We just edit that.

Gender Reveal specifics
We only need cameras for two hours. Is that worth it?
It's the shortest event we ship to, and the argument is coverage rather than duration. The whole thing turns on about three seconds, and the failure mode is that every phone in the yard was pointed at the box. Four cameras aimed at four faces is the only way to be certain you have the moment.
We're both in the reveal. Who films us?
Somebody you brief beforehand, by name. Tell each camera holder whose face they're responsible for — you, your partner, each set of grandparents — and have them start recording thirty seconds before the countdown and not stop. Nobody should be trying to find focus in the middle of it.
Confetti cannon and powder. Will that damage a camera?
Powder and confetti are fine, and the cameras are stabilised enough to keep a face sharp through it. Water is what ends them — these are not waterproof, so a poolside reveal or a burst water balloon is the one setup to plan around. Stand your camera holders upwind of the powder anyway.
Can you show the same three seconds from every angle?
That's the default cut on this event. We line the cameras up against each other and play the reveal through once, then again from the other faces. Say if you'd rather see it as a single split screen — that's a note at the rough cut stage.
Neither of us knows the answer. Can somebody else run the kit?
Yes, and it's common here. Put the shipping address of whoever is holding the secret — a friend, a sibling, the bakery even — and they receive it, test it and hand it out on the day. The box is plain on the outside with no branding on it.
These are the gender reveal questions. Booking, shipping, batteries, sound, returns and delivery are all answered in the full question list. Filming something else? See all event types.
