Hire a Washington DC camera crew for your project

Washington DC is one of the most popular locations for Crews Control video crews, and with good reason. The government buildings and monuments that dot the landscape are natural backdrops for documentary footage, political coverage and much more.

When you work with Crews Control to hire personnel for your video shoot, your Washington DC camera crew can help you navigate some of the complexities of the city. It’s good to have these industry veterans (with an average experience of 20 years) on your side when searching for a perfect shot, determining how to plan your shooting schedule and pulling the necessary permits.

Hiring crews familiar with the area is important when it comes to choosing your shots and applying for film permits from the DC Film Board. Even simple tripod shots can be shut down without a permit, as Washington is one of the most heavily-regulated and policed filming locations in the country.

Providing extra time in your shooting schedule is important when prepping a Washington DC shoot. Agencies such as the National Park Service, which oversees the National Mall, will demand several days’ notice before a shoot begins.

Though the challenges of navigating red-tape, tight parking and the surprisingly long travel times between areas of the city are real, there is no substitute for real Washington DC footage when you’re covering news or politics. The city is also a hub of learning and culture given its numerous free museums. Filming in DC is worth the effort, and when you have a top crew on your side, it becomes much simpler.

Crews Control’s DC teams have covered the entire city, from the White House to the Smithsonian and all the monuments on the National Mall. This has given them the expertise to capture the city at its best and put it on display in your production.
