Work with an expert professional crew for your Asheville video production
What makes a perfect home base for filming corporate videos? If you can find a city that’s easily accessible to your crew, offers a variety of locations and has a forgiving climate, you’re on the right track. For East Coast companies, Asheville, North Carolina, can deliver this combination of traits.
Launching an Asheville video production allows you to film in and around historic, centuries-old properties, as well as a hip and bustling downtown. The city is also located close to farmsteads and the Blue Ridge Mountains, in case your video production would benefit from a rural or natural setting. From theaters and bowling lanes to industrial zones, Asheville offers a variety of looks for your production.
The North Carolina Film Office adds that the whole state is known to be friendly to visiting video productions. Numerous TV and movie projects have filmed in the area — the outdoor locations from the first Hunger Games film are still a site for tours. The same infrastructure that has benefited these high-profile productions can help you complete your corporate video. Even in such a suitable location, however, working with an expert video crew helps optimize your chances of a successful shoot.
Why team up with an expert Asheville video crew?
Expert crews can translate your vision for a production into reality. It’s rare for any company to have a full-scale video filming organization operating in house, but viewers have come to expect ever-higher levels of quality from corporate video. Working with a team from Crews Control is a way to meet and exceed these demands without adding salaries or purchasing film gear out of pocket.
Crews Control aren’t just made up of experienced film professionals — these experts know all about working in their respective regions. This means when you hire an Asheville film crew, they’ll know the best angles to film all the local landmarks, from the 8,000 acres of grounds around Biltmore House to the 7,000-seat arena at the U.S. Cellular Center.
Working with local authorities to secure permits and recommending the best travel routes around town are just a few of the roles a skilled film crew can fulfill for your company. With these experts taking on the logistics of the production, your talent and internal personnel are free to work on creative and conceptual details.

What defines Asheville as a filming location?
No two cities are the same when it comes to filming infrastructure and suitability as a video production location. Even within North Carolina, Asheville is distinct from other destinations such as Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. Once you and your Crews Control team begin filming in Asheville, you’ll quickly discover local traits, including:
- A simple but time-sensitive permitting process: The city of Asheville controls commercial filming using the same type of rules and regulations that govern all outdoor events in the area. It pays to think ahead when it comes to filming — there is a $100 application fee for filming that rises to $150 if you need the request reviewed in two weeks or less.
- Numerous spots for meetings and conventions: Asheville is a major destination for companies planning events, due to its large selection of venues and hotels, as well as its regional airport. These gatherings could be perfect settings to film corporate video, whether you’re live-streaming panels, capturing behind-the-scenes interviews or anything in between.
- A famously scenic highway: While highways aren’t always photogenic, the Blue Ridge Parkway definitely is. This road is overseen by the National Park Service, and winds through the Blue Ridge Mountains. You can capture impressive views along the parkway in all four seasons.
- Art installations, museums and galleries: You can add artful backdrops to your video production by seeking out some of Asheville’s cultural attractions. The city is home to several pieces of public art, including a variety of murals, along with art museums, private galleries, theaters and studios.
Filming in a city like Asheville, which combines interesting venues with impressive natural landscapes, is sure to fuel your crew’s creativity. Once you start creating corporate videos in the area, you’ll surely be inspired to come back and produce more videos.

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!
