Find the best crew for your Louisville video shoot
In an era of ambitious video production, your choice of filming location can take your corporate content to the next level in terms of quality and overall appeal. Ideal destinations offer a variety of interesting backdrops, along with transportation accessibility and forgiving weather. Louisville, the biggest city in Kentucky, delivers this combination of factors.
Louisville is connected to the rest of the country by a bustling airport, allowing you to unite stakeholders and talent from various offices. You can take advantage of iconic locations like Churchill Downs or the Lousiville Slugger factory, or have the downtown skyline stand in for a generic, bustling American city. If you’d rather give your video a pastoral, small-town look, the Kentucky countryside can act as your ideal shooting spot.
Louisville is no stranger to hosting film and TV productions. The resources available to producers can also help your commercial video shoot thrive. These include soundstage facilities and services to connect your internal team and production crew with the gear they need to succeed.
The value of a local Louisville corporate video crew
You’re best positioned to take advantage of Louisville as a filming location when you work closely with crew members based in the area. These experts know the ins and outs of the city, from the ideal spots to film the skyline to the times to avoid rush hour downtown.
Crews Control works exclusively with locally-versed teams, so when you hire us in Louisville, you’ll be paired with professionals who can make you feel at home, right from day one.
One of the many roles an expert film crew can assist with is permit applications. With that said, this process is never very difficult in Louisville. The primary kind of document required to film in Louisville is a $40 Special Events Permit. More complex requirements, such as shutting down streets to film, are part of the same process, handled in collaboration with the Louisville Film Commission.
Managing your Louisville video production means more than just dealing with logistics. There are also artistic and technical considerations — and Crews Control’s experts are skilled in both areas. With these professionals guiding your shoot, you can elevate the quality of your video content without putting undue pressure on your internal team.

Unique corporate video considerations in Louisville
Finding the unique essence of any city is the key to making compelling corporate video content there. In Louisville, you can fixate on the city’s history in terms of equestrianism, bourbon, baseball or a variety of other specialties, or blend them all. Some important Louisville facts to consider, with input from local director of photography Mark Crowner, include:
- Louisville is a driving-friendly city: While downtown Louisville experiences rush hours like any other major hub, there are also many positives for drivers. For example, there are ample parking spaces and garages available for your crew van, most parts of the city are reachable in 20 minutes and the drive from the airport is just 15 minutes.
- The best skyline shots come from Indiana: When you’re aiming to capture a great view of the Louisville skyline, it pays to cross the Ohio River. This will put you in Clarksville, Indiana, a vantage point where you can capture the buildings and the river in one impressive shot.
- Interesting landmarks abound: When you’re capturing B-roll and want to leave no doubt about where you filmed your video, you can shoot the massive bat at Louisville Slugger headquarters, the fountain outside St. James Court or the downtown statue of Louis XVI of France.
- Churchill Downs is an iconic destination: One day a year, Louisville is the center of attention for the Kentucky Derby. The grounds around the track contain many photogenic features, including the Twin Spires. It should be noted, though, that crews need special permission from Churchill Downs management to actually enter the track.
Filming in Louisville is an exciting way to build your content library. Teaming up with a Crews Control team in this easy-to-navigate city can deliver impressive results and keep you coming back time and again.

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!
