Find an award-winning video production crew in Austin
If you’re searching for a reliable destination to film your corporate videos, you can find what you’re looking for in Austin. This city, the capital of Texas, can feel like a world unto itself. Austin brings the warm weather, varied backdrops and unique flair that make places especially suitable for corporate video shooting.
Austin combines the grand governmental buildings of the capitol complex with one of the most thriving and iconic live-music bar scenes in the world. Furthermore, the city’s desert location means it’s a short drive away from stunning outdoor landscapes. Finding filming locations in the Texan capital should be a simple process, no matter what the theme of your video may be.
An added factor that can help your production thrive in Austin is the presence of several professional-grade filming studios and soundstages. Hollywood film and TV shoots often set up in town, which means your corporate production can take advantage of the same infrastructure that enables filmmakers to capture high-quality footage. With a local crew of experts on your side, you’ll fit right in in Austin.
The value of working with local video experts
Even in a film-friendly city like Austin, it pays to team up with professionals who know the area well. These experts can help with issues like getting from Point A to Point B in a timely manner. The downside of Austin’s popularity among businesses and fun-seekers alike is that it is extremely busy and snarled with traffic. Especially during events like the annual South By Southwest conference, it pays to have local guides on your side.
Locally-versed crew members can also help you navigate the permitting system. While low-key filming on private property doesn’t require a permit, you will need to work with the relevant authorities to shoot on public land, use special effects, work on the capitol grounds or carry out other specific types of activities.
Crews Control’s teams are made up of knowledgeable film professionals who have mastered the art of shooting in their respective cities. That means when you work with Crews Control in Austin, you’ll be paired with a group of Austinites ready to show you the best side of their city. These crew members also know both the creative and technical sides of filmmaking, letting your internal talent and stakeholders relax and focus on their own duties.

Unique factors when filming in Austin
Keeping Austin “weird” has been a longtime motto of the city. You and your Crews Control team can take advantage of that vaunted weirdness, along with the more straightforward side of the city, when you film corporate content in the capital. A few important Austin facts to keep in mind, courtesy of local directors of photography, include:
- The weather is ideal, but floods are a concern: Austin is hot and humid all year long, meaning it has a much longer filming calendar than other U.S. cities. Even in early spring or late fall, you can comfortably shoot content outdoors. Floods are the primary disruption to the generally predictable weather — in May and June, you should be on guard for fast-rising water levels.
- Congress Avenue Bridge provides unique B-roll potential: You can capture pleasant daytime B-roll of Austin from under the Congress Avenue Bridge, then come back at dusk for a distinctive local sight. In the evenings, the 1.5 million bats who live under the bridge take to the sky — this grouping is the largest city-based bat colony in the world.
- Filming locations dot the city: When you’re scouting for interesting filming backdrops or promising soundstages to film your corporate video, you can follow in the footsteps of Hollywood productions. Recent shoots in the area include numerous films by Richard Linklater and Robert Rodriguez, as well as reality TV shows including F1: Drive to Survive, Queer Eye and The Ultimatum.
- The great outdoors is always nearby: Whether you’re capturing footage of local wildflowers or venturing down to the well-known swimming hole at Barton Springs, there are plenty of chances to shoot outdoor B-roll around Austin. The plants bloom in various combinations all year round due to the heat.
With a skilled Crews Control team on your side, there’s nothing stopping you from seeing all Austin has to offer, year after year.

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!
