Find an award-winning crew for your Hamburg video production
When you’re filming corporate video, what does it take to succeed? You’ll need skilled people behind and in front of the camera, capable technology and a reliable place to film. That last requirement can be challenging to meet — where should your brand choose as a repeat video location? In terms of its variety of locations, strong infrastructure and overall accessibility, the German city of Hamburg could be perfect for your purposes.
Hamburg is the second-biggest city in Germany, with 1.75 million residents. Its status as a port town means it has plenty of busy waterfronts and bustling industrial sections, but it’s also home to verdant parks and historic architecture. From the neon lights of Grosse Freiheit to the sprawling Hagenbeck Zoo, you’ll never lack interesting filming backdrops in Hamburg.
In and around Hamburg, you’ll discover attractions that have drawn international movie and TV crews for years. Whether you’re interested in capturing urban B-roll in built-up downtown Hamburg or eager to explore the rest of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, your production can run more smoothly when you have an expert locally based production crew on your side.
Why work with an expert film crew in Hamburg?
Production personnel who know their area can help your internal stakeholders and talent feel comfortable in a new location within a remarkably short amount of time. These experts are able to assist with everything from recommending transportation options to reaching out to local authorities about the necessary filming permits.
In Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein as a whole, permitting rules tend to depend on the size of the production — for instance, if your shoot requires shutting down roads or setting up large equipment, it will likely require official permission. Locally experienced professionals can advise your team on these necessities, along with providing more general insights into the artistic and technical side of filmmaking.
Working with Crews Control is a way to gain this level of specialized insight into your production’s needs. All of our crews are made up of experienced video creators who know their respective regions. When you team up with Crews Control in Hamburg, you don’t just gain access to skilled filmmakers, you can be sure those team members will offer accurate, useful insights about working in Schleswig-Holstein.

Our video production services in Hamburg
What kind of video can you create in Hamburg? In today’s video-heavy corporate media landscape, your options are nearly unlimited. For example, short, attention-grabbing videos can become the centerpiece of your social media marketing efforts. Mid-length clips can serve as explainer videos or help you spread brand recognition. Longer clips, such as live streams and full-length documentaries allow you to add greater depth to your messaging.
In addition to external marketing videos, you can also create content aimed at internal audiences, from bespoke training modules to quarterly messages from management. Depending on your intended viewership, overall brand aesthetic and the type of video you’re creating, your chosen visual style can vary widely. Sometimes, Hollywood-level production values are appropriate, while in other cases, it’s better to choose a casual, off-the-cuff look. In either case, an expert video crew can help you get optimal results.

What should you know about filming in Hamburg?
What makes Hamburg a unique spot for filmmaking and corporate video production? The area’s history has contributed to its unique character, with its status as a busy port giving it a bustling, connected identity. Working within the city limits and in the nearby countryside, you’ll quickly discover facts such as:
- Small shoots may not require permits: The authorities in Schleswig-Holstein in general, and Hamburg in particular, highlight the fact that it is relatively easy to film in the state. Smaller productions that don’t impede motor or foot traffic may not call for a permit at all — this includes shoots that take place with handheld cameras, without freestanding lighting equipment.
- Hamburg is home to historic amusements: Three times a year, Hamburg plays host to the Hamburger Dom, a fair that has been held for decades. The ferris wheel and fireworks make great B-roll subjects. The city also hosts Grosse Freiheit and the Reeperbahn, infamous, neon-lit streets where the young Beatles got their start in the early 1960s.
- The Elbe provides impressive views: When you’re looking out at the harbor or the Elbe River, you’ll find endless locations to film outdoor footage or capture B-roll. From spots like the Altonaer Balkon park, you can take in the water and add some nautical flair to your videos.
- Hamburg is a short drive from historic castles: In the state of Schleswig-Holstein, you’ll find numerous historic homes and public buildings, including Schloss Plön and Schloss Glücksburg, a pair of castles built in the 17th and 16th centuries, respectively.
The bustle of Hamburg and the majestic views of the countryside offer plenty of options for ambitious video crews. When you get started making content in these areas, you’ll quickly think of numerous new ideas, enough to bring you back for years to come.

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!
