Why find a local Anchorage video crew?
While Anchorage is one of the most welcoming places in Alaska in terms of infrastructure and accessibility, there’s no question that filming content in the state comes with challenges. When dealing with factors from the cold winters to the relative isolation, it’s valuable to have input from professionals who are familiar with the area and ready to give expert advice.
Local crews can help you truly capture Anchorage on film. This may mean safely taking impressive B-roll of the many animals that run freely in the nearby area, including approximately 1,500 moose. Experts who know the region can also offer advice about navigating the filming permit application process which runs through the Parks and Recreation Department in Anchorage.
Crews Control works with video crews who know their respective locations inside and out. These experts can make sure you feel like a local right away, whether you’re familiar with Anchorage or you’ve never even been to Alaska before. Crews Control professionals are also skilled in both the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking, giving your talent and stakeholders peace of mind.

Our video production services in Anchorage
Once you’ve established a presence in Anchorage, you can produce any kind of content imaginable. You may be most interested in internal videos aimed at your own employees, such as custom training clips or quarterly messages from the C-suite. These types of videos can boost loyalty and engagement among your team. Alternatively, external videos can drive brand visibility and boost recognition among a wide audience — these include social media videos, product explainers, TV commercials, in-depth interviews and more.
In today’s video-friendly corporate media landscape, it may be natural to create both internal and external content and to vary the visual style of videos to suit their specific roles. For example, behind-the-scenes material can benefit from a casual, stripped-down style, while commercials and documentaries look great with Hollywood-style slick production. With an expert video crew by your side, you can produce content at either aesthetic extreme or anywhere in between.

What’s unique about filming in Anchorage?
When you and your video crew settle on a distinctive location like Anchorage for your next corporate production, you should make plans to capture the nearby environment to its fullest extent. This means thinking carefully about all the city has to offer, as well as the logistical requirements of working there. Facts to keep in mind in Anchorage include:
- Anchorage is big and accessible enough for a convention: While Alaska can seem far away to companies based in the lower 48 states, it’s still a promising destination for industry gatherings. The city is Alaska’s biggest, combining a busy airport with a large selection of hotel rooms to accommodate a meeting that can become a valuable source of video content through live streams, interviews and more.
- With the right timing, you can see the northern lights: For a truly impressive piece of northern B-roll, you can film the aurora borealis. The most reliable way to track down these lights is with the aid of a local guide specializing in venturing out to find them.
- Creatures of all kinds live near Anchorage: The northern lights, glaciers and mountains aren’t the only natural points of interest in Alaska. You’ll find plenty of wildlife habitats a reasonable distance from Anchorage. Whether you’re looking for bears, moose, eagles or even whales, the right guide can point you to them.
- The city is filled with museums and cultural centers: Anchorage’s status as the most populous city means it’s home to plenty of museums, galleries and cultural centers. These spots make good B-roll material, no matter what period of history or aspect of culture you’re most interested in learning about and filming for your video.
Filming corporate video in Alaska gives your company a unique visual identity. Once you and your video crew experience an Anchorage video shoot, you’ll quickly discover reasons to come back time and again.

Prepared, Creative, Professional and on the 10 scale an 11
I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
