Find an award-winning Wilmington, Delaware, video crew.

In the high-stakes world of corporate video production, there’s a need for novelty. With so many companies producing so much content, being unique can help you stand out. This could mean filming your videos on location, amid the interesting backdrops and varied landscapes of a welcoming city. Companies in the Mid-Atlantic may not realize that such a city is close by: Wilmington, Delaware.

Wilmington is located in the bucolic Brandywine Valley, and within the city limits, you’ll find 3,00 acres of gardens. All this green space sits side-by-side with historic landmarks dating back centuries, like the Old Swedes Church, as well as a full complement of modern museums that can become fascinating B-roll subjects for your corporate video.

If you need a place to stage a performance or capture crowd footage, Wilmington delivers a lineup of venues led by the Grand Opera House, which dates back to 1871. In addition to its historical treasures, Wilmington is home to a modern restaurant and brewery scene, so you can pick up footage of bustling, contemporary crowds — and keep your talent well-fed while on location. With the right crew, you can easily turn Wilmington into your ideal video destination.

Why rely on local experts for your Wilmington video shoot?

When you hire Crews Control as your video partner, you gain access to in-depth local knowledge. Our crews are made up of professionals who are experienced at shooting in their respective cities, so you’ll never feel like a stranger. For example, a Mid-Atlantic crew can advise you on the best way to get to Wilmington from your location. That could mean flying into Wilmington-New Castle Airport, Philadelphia International Airport or Baltimore-Washington International, or even taking a train if you’re traveling light.

In addition to offering up local insights, a Crews Control team can help you ensure you have the right permits for your intended production. Working with local production bodies is an important part of this process.  In Delaware, the state film commission is largely inactive, with a nonprofit called Film Delaware taking on some of the liaison duties.

Crews Control’s professionals aren’t just helpful because they know local details and legal procedures. Our experts have also mastered the technical and artistic aspects of brand filmmaking. This means they can elevate the quality of your brand’s finished deliverables, all while ensuring your internal stakeholders and talent have a positive, stress-free experience filming on location.

Our video production services in Wilmington

There are numerous reasons to launch a corporate video shoot, because video can achieve so many goals for your business. You could choose to focus on internal video, producing training clips or C-suite messages aimed at your own employees. Using video for these purposes can boost engagement and loyalty among your team.

Alternatively, you could produce external videos pointed at a large potential audience. This type of content can stretch from hours-long live streams and documentaries to brief but effective social media marketing clips and TV commercials. About-us videos, product explainers and other highly focused external videos can deliver specific information in an easy-to-digest format.

Whether you pick internal content, external content or both, you should work with your crew to ensure every deliverable has the correct visual style. This means collaborating to create an aesthetic that suits both your overall branding and the type of video in question.

What’s it like to film a corporate video in Wilmington?

Even among the close-packed cities of the Mid-Atlantic, there is significant variation from one location to another. Filming in Dover isn’t quite like shooting in Wilmington, for example. A few useful facts to know as you plan a Wilmington video production include:

  • There are no fewer than six public gardens: The many outdoor destinations in and around Wilmington include six large-scale gardens, many of which are part of the estates formerly owned by the du Pont family. These well-preserved and varied green spaces make perfect B-roll subjects.
  • Wilmington is an arts destination: Between the Delaware Art Museum, the Brandywine Museum of Art and several smaller galleries, you can always find an interesting art collection in Wilmington. The museums themselves can be works of art — the Brandywine is a reclaimed 19th-century mill alongside the Brandywine River.
  • There’s plenty of room to host a convention: A companywide meeting or industry gathering is a great opportunity to capture footage of multiple stakeholders in one place. Wilmington can be the location for your next meeting, whether it’s at the Chase Center, one of the local museums, the University of Delaware campus or elsewhere.

Once you start filming footage in Wilmington, you’ll quickly realize just how much there is to see. That, in turn, can fuel future videos and drive your strategy for years to come.

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!
