Hire award-winning video crews in St. Louis

Filming high-stakes corporate videos today has a lot in common with launching a major Hollywood film or TV production. It pays to have a reliable place to return to time and again for exterior shots and B-roll, delivering content that will look great on the screen and help you stand out amid tough competition. Centrally located cities with a wide range of locations to shoot are great candidates for filming destinations, which means your company can thrive in St. Louis.

Due to its central position in the U.S., St. Louis is a major transportation hub with ample hotel space, helping you unite talent and stakeholders from throughout North America. Once they arrive in the shadow of the Gateway Arch, your team members will discover both urban and rural shooting locations, along with an array of indoor soundstages and post-production facilities.

In St. Louis and the over 90 towns that make up its surrounding county, you’ll find locations that include historic buildings, eclectic museums, hip small businesses, idyllic covered bridges and much more. The city is also home to multiple professional sports teams, including the Cardinals and Blues, with their own stadiums and arenas to serve as filming sites. With local experts guiding your efforts, you can get the exact footage you need.

Why work with an expert crew in St. Louis?

There’s no substitute for regional experience and knowledge when you’re producing corporate video. Even in a film-friendly city like St. Louis, putting together a shoot itinerary is easier with input from professionals based in the area. With these experts on your side, you can figure out the legal and logistical matters associated with a successful production.

For instance, did you know you need a specific permit to film in the national park that contains the world-famous Gateway Arch? A locally based film production team can help you file the right paperwork to make sure your B-roll and location shots are approved. These insiders can also assist you with planning for the highly variable local weather to ensure your shoot isn’t unduly delayed.

Crews Control’s teams are made up of professionals who know their respective regions. This means every Crews Control St. Louis video production has the benefit of local know-how. In addition to their grasp of their own areas, our video experts are skilled at both the creative and technical aspects of brand filmmaking, meaning your own talent and stakeholders can relax and focus on their roles, knowing the shoot is in good hands.

What should you know about filming in St. Louis?

Every city around the world has its own character and unique traits — taking advantage of these distinctive factors is the key to making corporate videos that truly embody their filming locations. St. Louis is no different, and these facts from Crews Control’s St. Louis-based crews can help you get started:

  • It pays to pack for a variety of weather conditions: Don’t be surprised if the St. Louis weather veers between several extremes over a matter of days. This is both a drawback — taking extra preparation to cope with — and a boon, because it means you can capture a range of outdoor shots in various conditions, all within a short period.

  • You can take advantage of local festivals: There are numerous local celebrations and gatherings that shut down various streets in St. Louis throughout the year. While these could be a hindrance to your production if they take you by surprise, they also provide valuable opportunities to film colorful, memorable crowd shots.

  • All the neighborhoods have their own characters: You can capture many different looks and feels for your corporate video, all without ever leaving St. Louis city limits. You can spend fruitful time scouting out locations in The Loop, Soulard’s Farmer’s Market, The Grove, Central West End, Cherokee Street, Forest Park and more.

  • Transportation is relatively easy: Not only is the airport near the city, but once you’ve landed in St. Louis, you’ll find that traffic isn’t as tough as in other similar-sized cities. As long as you show caution around construction zones, you can make good time traveling between locations in the urban area.

Once you start filming in St. Louis, you’ll surely be inspired with ideas for future videos. Your Crews Control team can help you turn those concepts into real, valuable pieces of collateral.

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!
