Empower your Tulsa video production with an award-winning crew
What makes great corporate video content? Considering the intense competition between brands producing their own videos, the bar for high-quality deliverables is higher than ever. You can clear it by including varied, visually stunning on-location shots in your content. If you need a reliable home base to film intriguing corporate videos, you can find what you’re looking for in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Tulsa’s strength comes from its versatility. The downtown area boasts gleaming skyscrapers and Art Deco buildings alike, and there are multiple picturesque outdoor settings nearby, whether on the rolling plains or in the Turkey Mountain Urban Wilderness Area. The city has recently served as a filming location for the TV series Reservoir Dogs and the Oscar-nominated movie Killers of the Flower Moon, and brand filmmakers can follow in these shoots’ footsteps.
Due to its rising stature as a filming destination, Tulsa is home to soundstages, gear services and studio spaces. Producing your business’s next corporate video in Oklahoma allows you to tap into the combination of impressive outdoor settings and helpful infrastructure. This process works best when you have assistance from professionals based in the area.
Working with an expert crew in Tulsa
Even in a film-friendly location like Tulsa, it pays to work with experts who know how to make the most of the area. These crew members can clarify issues such as permit applications. The permitting rules for Tulsa County differ between each town and city within the jurisdiction. Within Tulsa city limits, there are different approvals for public and private lands, and an extra process to deal with when filming in a park.
A locally-versed crew can also serve as a liaison if you want to expand your filming into other nearby areas, such as the Cherokee Nation. Working with Cherokee authorities to produce content that incorporates accurately portrayed Indigenous cultural elements is an exciting option, but one that must be handled with intention and care.
Crews Control works exclusively with video teams who understand their respective regions. That means when you work with us in Tulsa, you’ll be paired with professionals who are well-versed in the history, geography and logistics of Oklahoma. These experts can become your local guides while also providing both artistic and technical advice, allowing your talent and internal stakeholders to focus on their own roles.

Unique details about filming in Tulsa
No two cities are exactly alike as destinations for corporate filming. Even among Oklahoma destinations, Tulsa has traits that make it stand out and are worth considering as you make your decision about where to film. Some of these specific facts, informed by the on-the-ground experience of director of photography Mark Whaley, include:
- Petroleum history is embedded in the city: Due to Tulsa’s rapid growth during an early 20th-century oil boom, you can find numerous traces of that era in Tulsa. From the Art Deco architecture of downtown buildings to the city’s most distinctive landmark, the giant Golden Driller statue, these traces make exciting B-roll features.
- The weather is generally forgiving, but can be unpredictable: It’s wise to watch out for storms when filming in and around Tulsa, with spring being a particularly unpredictable season. With that said, the city’s subtropical climate means its winters are warmer than in other U.S. cities, with an average seasonal temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit and snowfall of five inches a year.
- Traveling by car or van is easy: The easiest mode of transportation for a film crew in Tulsa is via car, or by van if you’re carrying more equipment. Fortunately for your production schedule, Tulsa is one of the best metropolitan areas for traffic, with far lower levels of congestion than other U.S. cities.
- Museums offer excellent B-roll opportunities: You can capture a fascinating side of Tulsa by filming at its museums and cultural institutions. The Philbrook Museum of Art is a particularly interesting choice, with a renowned Native American collection and grounds that make for a good B-roll subject in their own right.
Once you and your Crews Control team begin exploring Tulsa and the surrounding county, you’ll doubtless find attractions and opportunities that will keep you busy for years to come.

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!
