Film with an award-winning Brussels video crew
Corporate video can be a central part of your company’s brand-building and communications strategy — but in a media climate with so much video content being produced by so many businesses, you need to focus hard on your strategy to stand out. Picking the right location to film your corporate videos is one way to set yourself up for success.
For businesses in Europe, Brussels is an ideal video production site — it’s so centrally located that the European Parliament is based there. Numerous European films and TV series have chosen to use Brussels as their production location, from animated family entertainment to period dramas and contemporary comedies. The Belgian capital is easily accessible from all points on the continent. Its status as an international meetings hub means there are plenty of places to gather, work and stay.
In addition to its conveniences, Brussels can also serve up eclectic and interesting backdrops for your outdoor shots. Centuries of architecture have left their mark on the city, with notable buildings in styles ranging from baroque and gothic designs through the art deco and modernist periods, leading up to gleaming contemporary structures. With the right video professionals by your side, you can see all the best sides of the city.
The value of an expert Brussels video crew
Crews Control video teams all know their respective regions. This can be especially important when you’re navigating a new city for the first time. In Brussels, your Crews Control experts can give important pointers, including the best ways to navigate downtown. With strict speed and emissions limits, it’s not a simple matter of driving your van directly to your preferred destination.
Whether you’re most interested in iconic sights like the gleaming Atomium sculpture, charming cobbled streets or contemporary buildings that can double for anywhere in the world, an experienced local crew can guide you where you need to go. Having these regional experts on hand can also prove essential when you have to translate into one of Belgium’s three official languages — Flemish, French or German.
In addition to their understanding of the local geography and culture, Crews Control team members bring filmmaking know-how to every video shoot. These professionals give you access to the latest videography techniques and technology, without the expense of adding full-time salaries to your own payroll or paying out of pocket for high-tech gear.

Unique considerations about filming in Brussels
Brussels has plenty of distinctive characteristics: Eco-conscious, extremely international and steeped in history. The city is waiting for your video crew to discover all its various identities. The following are just a few ideas for you and your Crews Control team to keep in mind during production.
- Many Brussels buildings are works of art: The architectural history of Brussels is rich and storied. While some of the most impressive public buildings are gothic or neoclassical, filming the city’s art nouveau structures can be especially rewarding. These include numerous stately homes, as well as the comic strip museum.
- The countryside is nearby: Brussels may be a city, but you can still capture impressive shots of verdant countryside and charming farm animals while shooting there. The well-preserved stone houses, halls and churches in rural areas can give your videos an old-fashioned, lived-in feeling.
- The city has launched an eco-friendly filming initiative: If you’re interested in building your green-business bona fides, Brussels is an ideal location to film. The local film office has a formalized plan that encourages earth-friendly filming through practices such as reducing waste and limiting carbon emissions.
- Planning ahead is important: Since Brussels’ boroughs each have their own regulations, the film office recommends submitting all filming permit applications well in advance — 15 to 50 days out, depending on the area. The commission exists to help you through the process, but hitting that first deadline is essential for a smooth filming process.
There are so many different sights to see in Brussels that you can’t capture them in one corporate video — or a dozen. That’s not a problem, however. With a Crews Control team on your side, you can launch a full-scale video production strategy in the Belgian capital, building an impressive library of content.

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!
