Find an expert crew for your Dayton, Ohio, video production
Adding compelling exterior location shots and B-roll to your corporate video is a great way to show that your company is serious about its media strategy. By finding a reliable destination to film this footage, you can lock in a strong future for your media strategy. For Midwestern companies, Dayton, Ohio, can serve as this type of go-to video production spot, as it combines versatile, photogenic neighborhoods with a variety of landmarks worth seeing.
In addition to boasting a proud alternative rock history — giving the world both The Breeders and Guided By Voices — Dayton is home to numerous aviation-themed attractions. Ever since Orville and Wilbur Wright set up shop in the Ohio city, planes have been a major part of the region’s character, and today you can film at attractions like the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park and the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.
If your corporate video calls for more art than aviation, you can walk around downtown spotting murals and other public works to appear in your B-roll shots. Dayton authorities have also worked hard to curate areas of natural beauty around the city, with 18 parks and conservation areas totaling 16,000 acres of preserved green space. Including these sights in your video can give it a distinctive Ohioan style.
Why work with local video experts in Dayton?
Even in a city with numerous attractions to see, it’s always valuable to have local video experts guiding your shoot. This is why Crews Control teams are made up of regionally based filmmakers who know the best ways around their respective regions. When you hire Crews Control in Dayton, we’ll team you up with professionals who can point out the best angle to film the skyline, help you travel at the right times to avoid traffic and even suggest the best places to stop for lunch.
Crews Control experts can also lend a hand with permit application processes, as they’ve gained experience working with these systems. The City of Dayton requires filming permits for productions that plan to shoot on city land and those that require street closures or other forms of help from officials. The process takes a minimum of 10 days, so advance application is important.
Beyond their local know-how and permitting expertise, Crews Control professionals are general experts in terms of both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking. This means they can elevate your brand’s on-screen product while taking pressure off your internal stakeholders.

What makes Dayton a unique video destination?
When you’re settling on a place to film corporate video content, it’s always worth considering the distinctive landmarks and experiences associated with your destination. Dayton has its own character, separate even from other Ohio cities like Columbus and Akron. So, what’s there to know about filming in Dayton? Some facts to begin with include:
- The city can take on many appearances: No matter what kind of backdrop you envision for your video, from fast-paced urban bustle to charming Main Street scenes, Dayton can deliver. The skyline contains enough skyscrapers to convincingly play a bigger city, but the charming neighborhoods allow you to get a down-home feel, too.
- The aviation park is five attractions in one: There’s plenty to see at Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historic Park, built around the Wright Brothers’ bicycle shop and the flying field where the inventors tested their pioneering aircraft. The exhibits and historical centers maintained around the area can provide an exciting background for locally specific videos.
- Historic neighborhoods allow a peek back in time: Dayton’s well-preserved neighborhoods are filled with beautiful old homes and community buildings that can give your video a charming, old-fashioned look. In the Oregon Historic District, for example, you’ll find structures that date from the early nineteenth century through 1915.
- Dayton is an easy convention destination: A company or industry gathering provides a great opportunity to unite your stakeholder team, and Dayton is a convenient place to hold such a meeting, right in the heart of the continental U.S. True to its aviation heritage, Dayton is home to an international airport, and the local venues and accommodations allow you to host any scale of meeting, even if you’re expecting thousands of attendees.
Once you and your Crews Control team start exploring Dayton, you’ll find dozens of opportunities to capture high-quality footage that can fuel years’ worth of corporate videos.

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!
