Find an award-winning crew for your Hartford video production

Corporate video is a competitive field. Working on a strategy to keep your brand competitive can feel like running a Hollywood production studio, as you search for varied and eye-pleasing locations to film material. Just like one of those film and TV studios, you can be tactical about your choice of shooting destination, picking a place that’s easily accessible, not too busy and has a variety of scenery to film — a place like Hartford, the capital of Connecticut.

Connecticut is a consistently rewarding place to film corporate content, with the state making our top 10 list of destinations in the U.S. Due to its proximity to New York City, Hartford is easy to get to, no matter how far away your stakeholders and talent are coming from. It may be even better than the Big Apple in terms of convenience, without the crowds and complexities of filming in such a busy city.

You can shoot dignified office buildings and classic American Main Street scenes in Hartford’s neighborhoods or capture picturesque academic scenes at Trinity College, UCONN Hartford or the University of Hartford. The variety of architecture in town — from Georgian and Victorian mansions to 20th-century designs — allows you to pick the exact feeling you want for your video. An expert crew can help you match your mission with the right backdrops for you.

Why find local experts for your Hartford video production?

Crews Control’s video crews are made up of people who know their respective regions inside and out. This means when you film with us in Hartford, you’ll be paired with seasoned locals who can tell you important facts, including the best spots in town to film various types of scenes and the most convenient times to avoid traffic, whether you’re coming from New York or simply moving from Point A to Point B within the city limits.

Locally versed crew members can also assist with an essential part of any video shoot: permit applications. In Hartford, there are two relevant processes to go through. The first is the State Film Permit overseen by the Department of Film, Television & Digital Media. The second is a Special Events Permit issued by the Hartford municipal government. It’s important to know if you’ll need the latter early in the planning stages of your shoot because the timeline to receive approval is 60 days.

Expert video professionals can do more than provide physical guidance and administrative input: they can also elevate the overall quality of your production. Crews Control’s teams are made up of individuals who are well-versed in both the technical and artistic sides of filmmaking, making them ideal advisors for every stage of your shoot.
