Find the best crew for your Barbados corporate video production
When your company is looking for a location to film corporate videos, you may find your perfect destination in Barbados. Warm, sunny and sporting a highly developed infrastructure, the same factors that draw tourists to the island nation can also attract your film crew.
Even when the weather is cold farther from the equator, you can capture outdoor film footage in picturesque outdoor locations throughout Barbados. In addition to its world-famous beaches, Barbados is also home to a UNESCO World Heritage site in the capital city of Bridgetown, as well as a variety of stunning and unique ecosystems. The content created from these shoots can become a critical part of both internal and external video strategies.
In recent years, Barbados’ varied locations and support for international film crews have made it a popular destination for productions making everything from feature films to commercials, with over 77 shoots receiving film commission support between 2015 and 2022. The same infrastructure that brought in these producers can assist your corporate video shoot.
Create corporate videos with expert crews in Barbados
Getting accustomed to shooting video in a new location is easier when you have the support of an expert video crew. These professionals should know their region, and be ready to keep your production on track. In an island nation like Barbados this guidance starts right from the beginning, helping international talent figure out how best to get from the airport to every shooting location.
From identifying prime B-roll locations to pointing out the best accommodations during a shoot, expert crew members can make important recommendations from their personal knowledge. This may be pivotal in tourist-friendly Barbados, where staying one step ahead of the crowds can be essential for completing your video shoot with minimal interruption.
Crews Control intentionally pairs clients with video experts who understand their respective regions. This ensures a shoot is always guided by a director of photography who has the experience and authority to make key decisions. These professionals combine their local knowledge with technical and creative know-how, making them ideal partners for your shoot.

Our video production services in Barbados
Once you’ve found a promising video location, you can craft a custom corporate video strategy that suits your organization’s needs. You may need content that targets internal audiences, such as messages from leadership or training content. Alternatively, your brand may fare best with external-facing videos such as social media marketing clips and product explainer videos. In today’s media-rich landscape, many businesses are embracing both types of content production simultaneously.

Distinctive factors about filming in Barbados
Every potential filming location has its own unique character. By embracing that local potential, you can create high-quality corporate video content, no matter the exact focus or scope of your corporate video strategy. The following are a few considerations for you and your expert crew when filming in Barbados:
- Perfect temperatures, differing precipitation: The temperatures in Barbados are hospitable for outdoor filming all year round. Indeed, instead of experiencing major shifts like countries in temperate climates, the island nation’s calendar is divided in half. Rainy season runs from June to November, with higher precipitation rates and temperatures between 70 and 88 degrees Fahrenheit. In the dry season, from December to May, temperatures run from 73 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
- National parks, monuments and museums: If your crew wants to capture slice of Barbadian history and culture or simply intends to capture unique and fascinating backdrops, you can turn your lens on any of the monuments or landmarks on the island, from the mansion remains in Farley National Park to the Barbados museum and Historical Society, housed in a former prison built in the 1800s.
- Spaces for meetings and corporate gatherings: While Barbados is known for its outdoor attractions, you may have luck filming something more familiar: a corporate conference. There are numerous hotels that accommodate meetings for international companies, and a video crew can turn those gatherings into a rich source of content.
- English everywhere: One important consideration for international video projects is always whether translation will be necessary. In Barbados this isn’t an issue. While the everyday spoken language is the English variant called Bajan, the official language of government and business is English, so English-speaking crews coming in from overseas can get right to work, no interpretation needed.
Once your talent and crew have started filming corporate videos in Barbados, you’ll surely be inspired with new ideas for future content. The island nation provides a welcoming environment where you can craft an entire, fully featured video strategy.

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!
