Work with an award-winning video crew in Augusta, Maine

In an era when corporate video production is an elaborate, involved and competitive process, it can pay to take a page out of Hollywood’s playbook. Just as film and TV producers have reliable destinations where they can go to film B-roll and on-location footage, your brand can find a perfect spot for its production needs. Augusta, the capital of Maine, can fulfill this role for companies with easy access to New England.

A charming city with centuries of history, Augusta has been the state capital since 1832 and is situated on the banks of the Kennebec River. Waterfront vistas and majestic bridges are a few of the features that look great on camera, along with the quintessentially American downtown. In addition to the capitol dome and other impressive government buildings, the city also hosts historic homes that can add some charm to corporate B-roll.

If you and your video crew travel to Augusta in autumn, you can take in the New England foliage as the leaves turn stunning shades of red and yellow. A Maine corporate video that includes telltale local landscapes can become a strong calling card for a company with a Northeastern identity.

Why is working with local video professionals in Augusta, Maine, so important?

Crews Control video crews are all made up of people who know their respective regions. That means when you work with us in Augusta, we’ll pair you with experienced Mainers who are ready and willing to point out all the best destinations in town for filming.

While a small city like Augusta doesn’t come with the same traffic and navigation issues that affect busier metropolises, a local video crew can still help you get around, recommending the best routes to Augusta from out of state and helping you cope with the weather when frosty winter sets in.

Besides helping with the physical logistics of a video shoot, local crew members can help deal with permitting and other approvals. In Maine, this can involve registering with the Maine Film Office and applying for permits for specific locations. While Augusta doesn’t have specifically denoted permit rules the way Portland does, there are regulations around filming in the state and national parks in Maine.

There’s another advantage to working with Crews Control’s video professionals: Each person on these crews is an expert at producing high-quality content. By drawing on crew members’ technical and creative filmmaking know-how, you can elevate the quality of your videos without putting excessive strain on your talent or internal stakeholders.

Our video production services in Augusta

One of the most important questions going into your Augusta corporate video shoot is what purpose you envision for your video content. Will your video target an internal or external audience?

Internal videos are largely meant to boost morale and engagement among employees. Popular internal media types include training modules and messages from the C-suite, and these clips can establish a strong rapport between all levels of the organization.

External videos encompass every type of content aimed at your brand’s consumers. These can range from off-the-cuff social media marketing clips and casual product explainers to TV commercials with Hollywood-level production values. The effects of external content can range from boosting recognition to educating your existing client base about your offerings.

No matter what kind of video you choose to create in Augusta, a professional video crew can ensure the visual style of your content perfectly matches its intent and fits in with the rest of your branding.

What’s unique about filming a video in Augusta?

No two destinations are alike when used as filming locations. Even within Maine, you’ll find differences between Augusta and Portland. Recognizing the unique aspects of each place and learning the basics before you arrive can help you make the most of your video shooting schedule. Here are a few facts to know about Agusta:

  • Historical attractions can serve as backdrops: Augusta’s long history comes alive in places like the Fort Western Living History Museum. The museum grounds contain wooden buildings dating back to 1754, which have been carefully preserved for educational purposes and can add an old-time character to your next video.

  • Natural sights are easily accessible: The beautiful natural landscapes around Augusta are welcoming to visitors, making them perfect locations to shoot B-roll or capture on-location footage. Paths like the Kennebec River Rail Trail provide direct links between downtown and the lush, green woods.

  • The downtown is well-preserved: Augusta’s downtown is an officially designated Main Street, meaning the city’s buildings and landmarks are skillfully managed and taken care of. The modestly scaled buildings in the city center provide a quintessential “small American city” energy that looks great on film.

  • Summer offers good weather; fall is for foliage: Maine’s nickname is “Vacationland” because its crisp, beautiful summers attract tourists. Accordingly, your production crew will have an ideal experience filming in Augusta during the summer in terms of temperature, but if you want to capture the leaves in their full glory, it’s best to visit from late September through mid-October. 

With so many charming sights to capture on camera, you and your Crews Control team can return to Augusta multiple times and turn it into a reliable video destination for your brand.

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!

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!
