Launch a high-quality Bogotá corporate video production with an expert crew
Modern corporate video productions are at their best when you find a solid, reliable location to film your brand’s content. In a highly competitive environment, you should settle on a destination that can deliver interesting backdrops and B-roll locations, as well as solid filming infrastructure. If your company has access to South America, the Colombian capital of Bogotá can become your production hub.
Bogotá is a natural destination for companies located in Colombia, as an arts and commerce hub with over 7 million residents. Businesses based in the Northern Hemisphere can also travel south for weather reasons: The reversed seasons means Bogotá is experiencing a cool, breezy summer during much colder northern winter. Accessibility is high, as there are three nearby airports.
Bogotá has a bustling downtown area, and is also dotted with parks. For a real glimpse of the wild, your crew can visit the highland natural parks, capturing the variety of environments that surround the high-altitude capital. It’s easy to see how you can operate a successful video shoot in Bogotá, especially if you have local experts on your side.
Why find a professional video crew in Bogotá?
Bogotá is large and varied, especially if you factor in the surrounding region. Within two hours of the capital, you can find deserts, waterfalls, mountains, lakes, forests and more. This is in addition to the urban and suburban landscapes that make up the 20 distinct neighborhoods of Bogotá itself. Locally versed crews can help you find ideal locations in all these options.
Professionals based in and around Bogotá can also help with interpreting and applying for a filming permit, as well as other behind-the-scenes tasks. With these local experts using their knowledge to guide your production, your internal stakeholders and talent can think less about logistics and more about creative matters.
Crews Control works exclusively with crew members who know their locations. This means when you choose Crews Control as your partner organization for a Bogotá film shoot, you’ll be paired with experts who will make you feel like a local right away. These professionals also provide filmmaking expertise, on set and in post-production, to give your content an impressive level of polish.

Our video production services in Bogotá
What are you hoping to accomplish with your Bogotá video production? Today, you have options.

What should you know about filming in Bogotá?
Every city in the world has its own unique character, which makes content filmed in that area distinctive. Bogotá is no exception, with its colorful and vibrant neighborhoods and extremely wide variety of natural landscapes. In addition to these visual markers, there are logistical matters that come with filming in the Colombian capital. Here are a few concepts to keep in mind:
- Keep an eye on the season: The warmest temperatures in Bogotá come from December through March due to its Southern Hemisphere location. Perhaps the most important concept to keep in mind is dry vs. rainy seasons. From March-May and September-November, the capital experiences frequent rain, which can necessitate extra shooting days.
- Check out the varied museums: The National Museum of Colombia is located in Bogotá, containing numerous artifacts that express the country’s history and cultural identity. Founded in 1823, it’s one of South America’s oldest museums. Other exciting museums include historic homes transformed into archaeological displays, along with bold art galleries and the Gold Museum.
- See the sights outside the city limits: Rural Colombia contains some of the most impressive views in the country. You can scale the rugged mountains in an agropark or visit a farmstead to add some green scenery to your videos. Add in the lakes, waterfalls and even deserts nearby, and you have the chance to glimpse distinctive flora and fauna while visiting smaller villages and towns.
- Know your permits: There are a few types of permits available for filming in Bogotá. The standard permit takes five days to process, while an expedited version takes three days but has some limitations — a maximum crew size and lack of road closures, for example. There are also separate permits for filming cultural properties such as monuments.
Your Crews Control team can guide you through the city, helping you find the best locations for you and helping you stick to the traveler tips recommended by the local authorities — such as only using authorized vehicles for transportation and avoiding invitations or offers of help from strangers. Once you’ve started filming in the Colombian capital, you’ll likely be inspired to keep working there.

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!
