Find an expert crew for your Syracuse video production
Where will you film your next corporate video? This is an important question today, as it’s tougher than ever to make content stand out in a crowded field. Well-shot on-location footage and B-roll can make the difference, which means you need a reliable destination to capture this material. Central New York and the city of Syracuse can fulfill this role.
Onondaga County is marked by its combination of rural and urban scenery, allowing your crew to either choose one side of the equation or film a video with both types of landscape. Syracuse, a university town boasting production facilities and ample accommodations for your crew and talent, can serve as the launching point for an ambitious video shoot.
Downtown Syracuse offers city streets that could double for larger metropolises, along with charming streets that can give your video an Anytown, USA feel. Closer to the Finger Lakes, you can see beautiful coastal compounds or simply linger on the impressive natural landscapes. The colleges, Syracuse University and LeMoyne College among them, offer their own sights and sounds worth viewing. With the right video crew on your side, you’ll have no trouble finding locations for your production.
Why choose local experts for your Syracuse video production?
When you’re trying to find Central New York backdrops that perfectly match your creative vision, it pays to work with crew members who are familiar with the area. Crews Control’s teams are made up of professionals based in their respective regions who can offer a local perspective on everything from B-roll angles to efficient driving from one setup to the next.
Local filmmakers offer more than filming tips and navigation advice: They also have experience working with city and county authorities to receive permits. In Onondaga County, every type and size of video shoot requires a permit. Your Crews Control team can work with the Syracuse Film Office to secure the documents you need, with no added stress for your internal stakeholders.
In addition to all their help dealing with local conditions, there is another advantage that comes from hiring Crews Control professionals. Our teams are made up of true masters of their craft who can deliver both artistic and technical expertise. These crew members can elevate the quality of your videos, helping you visually outshine your competitors.

Our video production services in Syracuse
Your Syracuse video can fill a variety of roles for your brand. Some companies are fully committed to external, customer-facing videos while others prefer to aim their content at an internal employee audience. Each variety has its own merits, and in today’s video-friendly media landscape, some brands are naturally targeting both.
External video is a very broad category that encompasses everything from detailed documentaries and in-depth event live streams to quick-hit social media marketing clips and informative product explainers. Internal video types include custom training modules and C-suite messages designed to engage and motivate workers.
When you work with expert video production crews, you can be sure your content’s visual style will match its purpose perfectly. Some clips call for sophisticated, Hollywood-level production values, while others are better handled with a casual, off-the-cuff energy. Each deliverable’s ideal aesthetic comes from a combination of the video’s purpose and your overall brand identity.

What defines Syracuse as a video production destination?
Filming in Central New York means tapping into a specific set of natural landscapes and charming mid-sized urban areas. By studying up on what to expect before you arrive in the region, you can hit the ground running and make great progress on your Syracuse video production. Some facts worth knowing include:
- Syracuse is home to soundstages and studios: Whether you’re stepping in out of the cold winter weather or have shots on your schedule that call for an indoor locale, Syracuse offers production and post-production spaces. Encompassing thousands of square feet of configurable soundstage, these facilities allow you to create fully featured corporate videos entirely in Syracuse.
- There’s plenty of space for meetings and conventions: Holding a large corporate gathering can be an ideal place to unite stakeholders throughout your company — and industry — for easy filming. Syracuse venues such as the 200,000-square-foot Onecenter Convention Complex can accommodate your event, and the local international airport allows you to bring your team in efficiently.
- Outdoor locations encompass land and water: If you want to film rustic, charming sights, Syracuse and Onondaga County are likely destinations. Orchards and farms provide perfect backdrops for calming, low-key videos. You can also venture to the Finger Lakes to capture majestic views of the water.
- Each season brings different views: Due to the crisp weather in Central New York falls and winters, you may be tempted to only film in Syracuse during summers, when the temperatures tend to be warm but not hot. If you’re ready to cope with some chilliness, however, you can capture stunning leaves in autumn or peaceful snow through the winter.
With a Crews Control team on your side, it’s easy to find appealing filming locations around Syracuse. Once you start shooting footage in the area, you’ll want to return time and time again.

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!
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!
