When you’re looking for corporate video filming locations in the central U.S., Cleveland stands out. Nestled on the banks of Lake Erie, Cleveland is a major hub for business and leisure in Northeastern Ohio and along with its size, it has landmarks that can help your video shoot.
Between the historic theaters, the modern skyline and landmarks like the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame, Cleveland can deliver a varied set of attractions for your production crew. On top of these iconic sights, Cleveland brings a potentially underrated but very important advantage: It’s easier to navigate by car or van than other large Midwestern cities.
Whether you’re just starting a new product video series on social media, you’re trying to build a library of training video materials or anything in between, Cleveland could be the ideal place to launch your project.

Working with video production experts in Cleveland
Even in a city with as many logistical advantages as Cleveland, creating high-quality brand video content is never automatic. To ensure your video production delivers results, you should make sure your internal employees and talent are collaborating with video professionals who know the region.
Crews Control’s video production crews are all well-versed in their chosen areas. This means they know the best ways to complete essential tasks, such as securing permits and setting up to shoot in ideal B-roll locations. Even the seemingly small things, including navigating through the city streets and finding great restaurants for crew lunch breaks, can add up to a perfect corporate video shoot.
On top of regional knowledge, Crews Control video crews come with more general know-how about producing professional-quality videos. Most companies don’t have the in-house expertise to create brand videos. This doesn’t mean you should pass up on using video marketing, however. Rather, you can team up with Crews Control as your Cleveland video production company to secure all the in-depth insights you need.

Unique traits about filming in Cleveland
What does it take to bring out the best of Cleveland? Expert video crews who operate in the area around Lake Erie know all the tips and tricks you need to generate ideal content that meets your video needs. These insights include:
- Knowing where to park: While Cleveland doesn’t suffer from the traffic confusion and congestion that plague so many other cities, there are a few restrictions when it comes to parking. Some garages won’t accept large crew vans, and if you let a meter expire, you run a real risk of being ticketed or towed.
- Understanding the permit system: Some types of film shoots in Cleveland don’t call for permits. You will need to apply for permission, however, if you have a more ambitious shoot in mind — for instance, if you have to close a street or sidewalk. The Greater Cleveland Film Commission will help you navigate requirements.
- Finding the best B-roll views: The banks of Lake Erie are the place to be for several iconic Cleveland shots. This is where you’ll find the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, for instance, as well as beautiful nighttime views of the skyline.
- Picking the ideal season: When you’re hoping to avoid disrupted schedules, it’s best to look at the average weather for your chosen season. Summer brings humidity and thunderstorm risk, while winter often brings “lake effect” snow — though it should be noted that the western half of the city gets snowier than the east.
When you work with a Crews Control video crew, you have access to all the local insights you need to complete your production. These experienced professionals have spent years working in their chosen areas and are ready to help.

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!
