Find an expert crew for your Berlin corporate video production

Creating corporate video in today’s competitive market landscape requires a focused approach. This may mean choosing a base of operations, a city that can provide filming backdrops, B-roll spots, studio facilities and more. If your company has easy access to central Europe, Berlin is a compelling destination. Well-served by transportation, sporting diverse landmarks and easier to navigate than you may expect, the German capital is an exciting location for video content production.

In some ways Berlin is ancient — the city was founded in the 13th century. In other senses, it is highly modern, having been rebuilt and reshaped following World War II and the fall of the Berlin Wall. Some of the sights in Berlin, such as the over-1,000-foot Berliner Fernsehturm tower or the home of the German parliament, are iconic and can give your videos a sense of place. There are also ample blocks in a variety of architectural styles that give you control over your video’s aesthetic.

Whether the city’s main attraction is its forgiving spring and summer weather, its centuries of architecture, its solid public transportation infrastructure or any other trait, you can set your next corporate video production in Berlin. Professional crew members can help that shoot produce valuable footage on time and under budget.

What’s the value of an expert video crew in Berlin?

Even in the most logistically sound cities and regions, it pays to work with experts who know the area and can guide your internal talent and creatives. All of Crews Control’s video professionals are locally knowledgeable, allowing them to provide this level of support. When you hire our crews, you get time back in your schedule as Crews’ team members lead your production to success.

In Berlin, tailored support services may include assistance dealing with permitting authorities. While some types of filming don’t require official permission from the Berlin Brandenburg Film Commission, more sophisticated productions do. Furthermore, the best practice is to fill out filming applications in German. Translation services for overseas personnel is one major service local crews can provide, alongside navigation, location scouting and more.

Beyond giving regional knowledge, a Crews Control Berlin film crew also offers technical and creative filmmaking expertise. When you rely on these experts for their video production know-how, you gain a professional level of content creation without adding permanent salaries or paying out of pocket for gear.

Our video production services in Berlin

The video content resulting from your Berlin video production can serve a variety of roles for your business. While some organizations focus on internal video types like employee education clips and messages from management, others primarily deliver external content such as explainer videos, social media marketing clips and live event streams. In today’s video-saturated corporate media landscape, many companies opt for both types of content.

In addition to serving various audiences, your corporate video content can take on many different visual styles. While some projects are best served by glossy, Hollywood-quality production values, others are best served with a candid, behind-the-scenes approach. Wherever your brand’s aesthetic preferences fall — whether your ideal videos are short or long, simple or highly polished, you can create the content you need with the help of Crews Control experts.

What’s unique about filming corporate video in Berlin?

Over their years operating in Berlin, Crews Control’s experts have refined their processes to run smooth and efficient video shoots, and they know how to make the city look truly impressive on film. Director of Photography Axel Goppelt has plenty of insights to offer about working in Berlin, including:

  • Many perfect B-roll sites are closely grouped: When you want to capture numerous iconic Berlin sights in a short period of time, head to “Unter der Linden” Boulevard. The street contains the Brandenburg Gate, the Neue Wache, the Zeugaus and the Berliner Dom, with typical city sights in between.
  • Spring and summer make up filming season: While Berlin’s climate is generally forgiving, it does get cold in winter, curtailing outdoor filming. The period from May to August likely provides your best chance to get out and shoot video, with consistently warm temperatures and a relative lack of rain.
  • German language skill helps: Having your Crews Control team on hand to interpret — or learning some German yourself — is a good idea. Official documents are best filed in German, and while most of the people you deal with in the city will likely speak some English, the language isn’t universal.
  • Traffic is reasonable: Berlin is more car-friendly than some major European cities. Not only are all the major areas reachable by car or van, traffic is also surprisingly good for such a large metropolis. Trains, buses and trams are also easily accessible.

When you’re ready to begin filming in Berlin, your Crews Control team will help you every step of the way. After seeing what the city has to offer, you’ll be sure to return time and again to capture more footage.

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!
