Find an expert video crew for your Memphis production
Corporate video has become a highly competitive space. To stand out amid a plethora of high-quality productions, it pays to film your content in a location with character. Memphis, a warm-weather city with a wonderfully rich cultural heritage, is an exciting choice for your brand. This Tennessee metropolis’s legacy extends from civil rights battles to Sun Records, and it can lend your videos a sense of style.
Memphis’s location on the banks of the Mississippi River means you’ll never run out of interesting subjects for B-roll footage. The city is also home to distinct neighborhoods that originate in various eras, which means you can capture a historic feel or evoke a small-town feeling without traveling far from the city.
Memphis is accessible by direct flight from either coast, making it a promising place to unite stakeholders from around the country. Furthermore, the area has served as a base for film production, including major Hollywood movies like Walk the Line, Cast Away and Hustle & Flow. The same infrastructure that supports TV and film can help you make the best possible corporate content.
Why team up with video experts in Memphis?
Even in a supportive environment for video production, it pays to work with video experts who know the area. This is why Crews Control’s teams are made up of professionals based in specific regions and well-versed in the ins and outs of those places. In Memphis, you’ll be paired with locals who can help you avoid the crowds in hotspots like Beale Street while also pointing out hidden-gem B-roll spots.
Another advantage of allying yourself with local production experts is gaining an instant understanding of permitting rules and regulations. In Memphis and the surrounding Shelby County, permits are issued case by case. Some activities — for instance, drone filming, shooting on Beale Street and working on public property — may require special attention. An expert crew will be familiar with the proper processes to follow.
In addition to their local know-how, Crews Control team members bring deep experience in both the creative and technical sides of filmmaking. This means they can produce high-quality videos that suit your brand’s exact requirements, providing a level of polish that would be expensive to replicate with an in-house team.

What makes Memphis a unique filming destination?
Tennessee in general is part of Crews Control’s list of top 10 U.S. filming destinations, with special consideration for the “trifecta of natural, architectural and historic wonders” in Memphis. But when you actually go there with your team, what will you find? The following are some pertinent Memphis facts, offered by director of photography Richard Copley:
- Music is king in Memphis: Beale Street, the “Official Home of the Blues,” is an eternal hotspot filled with crowds out to hear music and have a good time. The city is also home to the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, the old Sun Records office and Elvis Presley’s preserved mansion Graceland.
- Transport is simple: Getting around Memphis is not hard compared to other major cities. Downtown parking can be very forgiving and, if your team is traveling light enough, you can hop aboard an affordable trolley shuttle.
- Memphis has a civil rights legacy: If you want to give a socially meaningful message to your video, there are landmarks in Memphis that can support your mission. The Lorraine Motel, site of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, is now home to the National Civil Rights Museum, a place with important lessons to teach about the struggle for equality and justice.
- The weather is varied but forgiving: While Memphis doesn’t experience frigid winters, it does have seasons, with the natural scenery shifting through the months. There are a few times in the calendar when you should be ready to reschedule around harsh, sudden weather changes — March-May and November.
When you’re filming in Memphis, you’ll constantly find interesting new sights to include in your videos. It’s enough to keep you and your crew coming back year after year.

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!
