Find an award-winning Vancouver video crew
As corporate video productions become ever more complex and in-depth, it’s important to treat each shoot with a high degree of seriousness and professionalism. This may involve finding a reliable filming location to return to over time, somewhere with strong infrastructure, interesting backdrops and welcoming authorities. If your company is located in the western U.S. or Canada, Vancouver may be your perfect choice.
This Pacific Northwestern metropolis is a popular place for Hollywood productions to film. The city sports a gleaming, modern downtown that can either show off its own character or double for dozens of other locations around the world. In addition to skyscrapers, stadiums and modernist museums, you can also find charming restaurants, bustling port scenes and leafy suburbs.
The city’s desire to support and attract these movie and TV crews can have positive effects on your corporate shoot — permitting rules are designed to be adaptable and simple, and the metro area contains soundstages and studios to capture interior and effects shots.
Beyond the city center, you can capture the majesty of the local forests, mountains and coastline, giving your videos a fresh and distinctive identity. All of this natural wonder is at your fingertips — it’s easy to fly into Vancouver and start exploring British Columbia. Once you’re on site, to maximize your effectiveness, you should team up with an expert video crew.
Why work with video professionals in Vancouver?
Even in the most film-friendly cities, it pays to work with knowledgeable video personnel. When you pair your own creative professionals and talent with local experts, you can focus on strategic matters while the video crew handles logistics. Permit applications, B-roll location scouting, parking and more become simpler with these partners by your side.
All Crews Control video teams have extensive experience working in their chosen regions. From navigating local weather patterns to choosing the best spots for lunch, these professionals know their regions. For U.S. companies filming in Vancouver, it could be especially important to attain visa approval and work with the local government to receive filming permission — Crews Control experts can help.
In addition to their local know-how, Crews Control experts come to each job with a wealth of technical and artistic knowledge about filming corporate video. This mixture of specific insights and general best practices can ensure your next Vancouver video production runs like clockwork and produces high-quality content.

What makes Vancouver a unique filming location?
Why choose Vancouver for your filming needs? Many Hollywood productions already take place in this Canadian city, and the same adaptable charm and strong infrastructure that attracted the filmmakers can help your corporate production thrive. When you and your Crews Control team start shooting in Vancouver, you’ll discover distinctive local details, such as:
- Nearby communities offer extra filming spots: The towns and natural areas of Greater Vancouver are great places to capture footage with a more rural or natural feel. From the Sunshine Coast to the resort of Harrison Hot Springs, these spots are worth discovering when you need a video to feel fresh and different.
- Permitting is streamlined: The permit application process in Vancouver is designed to be easy to navigate. With that said, you do need to plan ahead — permits must be lodged at least 10 days in advance. For filming outside the city, you can work with the province-wide network, Creative BC.
- Major convention infrastructure is in place: Industry gatherings represent great opportunities to capture footage, whether you’re recording panel discussions, interviewing attendees, shooting behind-the-scenes guides or anything in between. Venues such as the Vancouver Convention Centre are perfect spots for such events.
- The climate is surprisingly mild: Canada is known for long, cold winters, but you may find the outdoor filming season is longer in Vancouver than in other major northern cities. Due to Vancouver’s location on the ocean, it has a mild climate. Furthermore, it’s only the ninth-rainiest spot in Canada, breaking the stereotype that the Pacific Northwest is No. 1 for precipitation.
Once you’ve started to film in Vancouver, you’ll surely find exciting new locations to shoot. These, in turn, may spark plenty of inspired new ideas, ensuring you’ll enjoy working in Vancouver for years to come. With a Crews Control team by your side, it’s easy for your video strategy to thrive.
