Find an award-winning crew for your Barcelona video production
What does it take to film a high-quality corporate video? In today’s fast-paced digital media landscape, with expectations higher than ever, it can pay to have a reliable place to shoot content, whether you’re focusing on exterior locations or indoor soundstages. For companies based in Europe, Barcelona could represent an ideal destination.
Barcelona, a center of Catalan culture, is already home to dozens of domestic and international film and TV productions, including prestige dramas such as The Crown and Westworld. The same infrastructure that has helped these shoots can also deliver results for your corporate video shoot.
The city is dense with iconic destinations that make breathtaking shooting backdrops. These include cathedrals that range from the grand Santa Maria del Mar to the surreal and stunning Sagrada Familia. Add in sunny beaches, hyper-modern museums and arenas such as the world-famous Camp Nou, and it’s clear you’ll never run out of interesting sights. Now all you need is a team of local experts to help you capture the city’s glory on film.
Why work with experts on your Barcelona corporate video production?
No matter how photogenic a location is, you stand a better chance of running a successful video production there when you have local help. Crew members who know the area can assist with important matters such as navigation and translation, whether from Catalan or Spanish. This is why Crews Control’s teams are made up of professionals who know their respective areas.
In addition to managing general logistics, a Barcelona video crew from Crews Control can lend assistance in securing permits to film in the city. There are different classes of permits based on the size of the production, each coming with different requirements and lead times, and various licensing bodies dealing with parks, gardens and beaches, cemeteries and municipal buildings, among others.
Those local insights are valuable, but they’re not all a Crews Control video team can deliver for your brand. The professionals who make up these crews are skilled in the technical and artistic aspects of filmmaking and can help you create a high-quality finished product while keeping your stakeholders and talent focused on their own jobs.

Our video production services in Barcelona
The video content that comes from your Barcelona shoot can fulfill a number of different roles for your brand, some external, some internal. External video uses include everything from highly produced TV commercials to off-the-cuff social media marketing videos. Collectively, these clips can build your brand’s public face. On the other hand, internal content, including custom training modules and executive messages, provides a sense of connection between various levels of your business.
Whether you’re most interested in external content, internal videos or both, you have options regarding the look and feel of your clips. Sometimes, the best approach for a given scenario involves a seconds-long, casually filmed video. In other cases, it’s worth deploying long-form content, such as an event live stream or a feature-length documentary. No matter what style you decide on, an expert crew can help you attain that goal.

What makes Barcelona a unique place to film a corporate video?
Barcelona’s stunning location, impressive architecture and unique cultural identity make it an exciting filming destination. But what should you keep in mind to make the most of the city? Crews Control expats have built up a store of valuable insights, including these from production manager Eva Termini:
- Find the warmth without the humidity: While Barcelona weather tends to be forgiving throughout the year, there are ideal seasons to film outdoor footage: April-July and September-October. These periods are warm and not too rainy, while avoiding the heavy humidity of August.
- Public transit is an option for small crews: Crews traveling with few people and not much gear can take advantage of Barcelona’s impressive metro system. For those with more equipment, it could be worth using taxis, ride-shares or hired drivers — renting a car or van is an option, but parking is difficult.
- Montjuïc offers many attractions: Atop the hill Montjuïc, you can see several sides of Barcelona at once. The area, popular with tourists, contains public gardens, a castle and a cable car system. You could film these distinctive attractions, or simply look down over the harbor.
- Know your Catalan or work with an expert: While English is spoken rather widely in Barcelona, it pays to have language knowledge. Locals tend to speak both Catalan and English, but street signs are in the former, which can have a major impact on your ability to navigate smoothly.
Once you’ve started to see everything there is to see in Barcelona, from the Gothic architecture to the museums and beaches, you’ll surely be inspired to create even more high-quality corporate videos in and around the city.
Our Barcelona video crews: Experience and gear
One of the surest ways to keep your video production on schedule and under budget is to team up with an expert director of photography. When the person taking charge of the video shoot is an experienced industry professional, you can have more confidence that the process will run uninterrupted, even if unexpected circumstances strike — this is why Crews Control works with directors of photography who have at least 10 years tenure.
In addition to hiring expert crew members, it pays to work with the latest and greatest in filmmaking gear. In an age of rapid technological advancement, keeping up with the pace of development is a way to ensure your content looks great in the years to come. High-quality equipment should extend from the cameras and mics on set to the software in the editing bay. Crews Control teams use gear from Sony, Panasonic, Canon, JVC, Ikegami, Thompson (Philips), Hitachi, RED and Arriflex.

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!
