Find an award-winning crew for your Indianapolis video production

Today, corporate video production is an intensive process — across industries and at companies of all sizes, the pressure is on to create impressive-looking content. One way to step up your brand filmmaking efforts is to choose a reliable city where you can base your productions, returning frequently to capture footage.

Indianapolis, capital of Indiana, is a promising choice for these purposes. The Indianapolis Film Commission describes the city’s numerous advantages: Indiana’s central location means personnel can meet there from around North America, taking advantage of the large, well-maintained airport. The surrounding region is filled with a variety of locations, allowing you to pick your aesthetic — and the numerous sports stadiums and arenas let you incorporate large crowds into your videos.

Indianapolis combines an urban downtown and distinctive landmarks such as the central Monument Circle with lush green fields — just 15 minutes away by car. Whether you’re filming an industry conference, shooting outdoor B-roll, arranging man-on-the-street interviews or executing any other corporate video concept, Indianapolis can accommodate your needs, especially if you have experienced professionals on your side.

Why work with video production experts in Indianapolis?

Even in a film-friendly location like Indianapolis, it pays to team up with expert crew members who understand the region and can get you up to speed in a hurry. Everything from setting a realistic travel schedule to finding studio spaces or gear rental businesses is simpler when your chosen crew is based in the city and able to speak from experience.

One major reason to connect with local professionals is to navigate the filming permit application process. In Indianapolis, there are no private-property exceptions: Every production needs to fill out an application, with additional paperwork needed to shut down streets. There are also insurance requirements, as well as special rules around drones — no drone flights above Monument Circle, for instance.

Crews Control only works with video crews made up of regional experts. This means when you choose Crews Control as your video production partner in Indianapolis, you’ll be paired with professionals who know the city inside and out and who can guide you painlessly through all steps of the process, from location selection to post-production. These video experts aren’t just locally versed, they’re also top performers in the technical and artistic aspects of videography, ready to help you deliver high-quality content.

Our video production services in Indianapolis

What are you hoping to accomplish with corporate video? There are a wide variety of potential answers — video is one of the most versatile content types today.

You can launch an internal video strategy based around custom training modules or C-suite messages that will boost engagement and loyalty among your employees. Alternatively, an external video marketing approach can help you reach a wide audience with explainer videos, social media clips, TV commercials and more. With advanced video production capabilities, you can create both types of content simultaneously.

Just as video content can serve many purposes, there are numerous visual aesthetics available to fit the tone and intention of your productions. Short behind-the-scenes clips can benefit from a casual, off-the-cuff style, while more heavily produced releases like commercials and documentaries can approach Hollywood levels of polish. An expert video crew will help you select the right look and feel for your content needs.

What’s unique about shooting video in Indianapolis?

Every city has its own distinctive traits as a video destination, and Indianapolis is no different. Crews Control directors of photography have opinions and advice about how to make the most of this midwestern metropolis. Their tips include:

  • The best skyline view comes from the zoo: The Indianapolis skyline will make a great addition to your B-roll, and the best place to glimpse the skyscrapers is from the White River area, right near the zoo. When you shoot from the banks, you can capture both the river and the city in the same frame.

  • The convention center is a major destination: Making the most of its central location, Indianapolis houses one of the nation’s biggest convention centers. This could be a great place to host an industry gathering and bring your stakeholders together to appear on camera.

  • Winter is harsh, but the skywalk is warm: The convention center and other downtown Indiana locations are connected by enclosed walkways. These can be a boon to your crew in the winter, when temperatures fluctuate and precipitation is extremely common.

  • Major sports venues abound: Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, is one of the large-scale venues in the city. To find massive sporting crowds, you can also visit Indianapolis Motor Speedway or Gainbridge Fieldhouse, which houses both the NBA’s Pacers and the WNBA’s Fever.

With the right crew by your side, you’ll quickly discover countless interesting sights and destinations in and around Indianapolis — it’s the kind of location you can return to for years to come in search of new footage.

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!

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!
