Find an award-winning crew for your Omaha video production
Finding a distinctive destination to film B-roll and on-location shots isn’t just for Hollywood filmmakers and TV producers. Companies hoping to compete with increasingly ambitious corporate video releases can use this same strategy. On the banks of the Missouri River, at the point where Nebraska meets Iowa, Omaha can step into this role, becoming the perfect backdrop for your brand’s next video.
While Nebraska is known for its endless rolling plains, Omaha is the best place in the state to experience a bustling downtown scene, under a photogenic skyline. Clustered around Omaha are other, smaller cities, including Gretna, Bellevue, Papillon, Bennington, Waterloo and La Vista. Together, they make up the state’s Metro Area. There are plenty of interesting places around the city to add character to your corporate videos, including Charles Schwab Field, the stadium where baseball teams compete in the finals of the College World Series.
Omaha also boasts cultural attractions that can deepen the meaning of your corporate videos, such as the Great Plains Black History Museum. The city’s diverse cultural influences can be felt in festivals like Cinco de Mayo Omaha — the Mexican community in Omaha has held major celebrations for over 100 years. With a knowledgeable video team on your side, you can quickly discover many exciting sides to Omaha.
Why find a locally based Omaha video crew?
Crews Control works exclusively with professionals who understand their respective regions. This means when you hire us in Omaha, your assigned crew will grasp all the ins and outs of the city, ready to make recommendations like the best times to film skyline footage from the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge or the ideal times to travel around the city to avoid traffic on I-80.
Your Crews Control team can assist you with the legal necessities around shooting footage in Omaha. These professionals can ensure your production has all the required legal documents, in collaboration with the Nebraska Film Office. Permitting in Nebraska varies by jurisdiction — small shoots may not need specific permission, but it’s important to be certain. If you want to venture out of the city limits and shoot footage in state or national parks, that process will call for extra applications.
In addition to their local knowledge and legal know-how, Crews Control teams come to every job with expertise in both the artistic and technical sides of filmmaking. This allows them to elevate the visual quality of your content while also reducing the workload on your internal stakeholders and talent.

What’s it like shooting video in Omaha?
No city has just one identity. As a metropolitan oasis in a state filled with wide-open spaces, Omaha brings a distinctive mix of cultural, architectural and geographical factors. When it’s time to film a corporate video in Omaha, you can benefit from learning more about the city before you arrive, including these facts compiled with input from director of photography Mele Mason.
- The bridge views are iconic: The Missouri River serves as a boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. When you and your crew are crossing the river via the 3,000-foot-long Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, you have an ideal opportunity to capture the city skyline at its best.
- The city is dotted with good people-watching spots: Useful B-roll locations are never far away in Omaha. Likely spots to film include the cobbled Old Market District, Saint Cecilia Cathedral and Memorial Park, which is a great place to mingle with the crowds at open-air concerts and other events.
- Omaha is a driving city: When you need to move around Omaha quickly, it’s probably best to rent a car or van, depending on the size of your production. Metered parking is relatively easy to find downtown, helping you get where you need to be for your next shot — though there is rush hour traffic to watch out for. I-80 can become especially congested.
- Precipitation should inform your plans: How much extra time should you build into your production schedule to account for weather delays? In Omaha, there should be at least some leeway, because the area receives frequent thunderstorms. If you choose to shoot in the winter, be ready for snow. While it may make outdoor filming of interviews impossible, snowfall can add a dreamy look to your B-roll.
With a Crews Control team on your side, you’ll find plenty of exciting filming opportunities in and around Omaha — enough to keep you coming back for one video shoot after another.
