Video Production in New York

NYC video production for tech brands and agencies.

New York

Your local crew in New York.

New York is our second-busiest market. Senior producers in SF run the project; trusted NYC camera operators and production support handle the ground game. You get the same creative bar as our Bay Area work, with crew who know MOME permits, Manhattan parking, and the real cost difference between a Brooklyn loft and a Midtown high-rise.

Why us

Why New York teams work with us

SF creative direction, NYC local crew

SF senior producers lead the project. Local camera and production support handle NYC locations, pace, and logistics.

Mayor's Office permit expertise

We file with the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment regularly and know which locations need which permits and how to sequence applications so your shoot date holds.

No markup over SF rates

We do not add a NYC surcharge on top of our rate card. The quote reflects scope. NYC crew runs slightly higher than SF; we show that as a line item.

Tech brand track record

We shoot for Bay Area tech companies with NYC offices and for agency partners who run campaigns in both markets. We know how the two cities compare on cost and logistics.

Filming in New York

Permits

Permits in New York are issued by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. NYC film permits are issued by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME). Standard permits typically take 3–7 business days. NYC requires a permit for most exterior filming on public property, including sidewalks. Indoor filming at private businesses doesn't typically require a city permit but may require building management approval.

Best filming locations

Brooklyn (DUMBO, Williamsburg) gives you industrial backdrops with less permit friction than Manhattan. SoHo and Tribeca work for consumer lifestyle. Midtown corporate shoots are heavy on logistics (parking, loading docks, building security) but run smoothly once access is locked.

Weather & scheduling

NYC weather changes fast. Always book an interior backup for exteriors. October–November and April–May are the most reliable windows for temperature and sky.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does video production cost in New York?

Corporate video in NYC: $10,000–$25,000. TV commercial: $40,000–$100,000+. Animated explainer: $8,000–$25,000 (same as SF; animation does not change by city). Live-action NYC runs about 15–25% above SF because of crew rates, gear rental, and logistics in a denser city.

Do you have a local NYC crew or do you fly from SF?

Most NYC shoots use a local crew: camera, grip, and PA our SF producers have worked with before. A director or producer may fly in on larger jobs. Your quote states which model we are using.

How do you handle permits in New York?

We manage permits through the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment. Standard permits take 3–7 business days; rush permits are available for a fee. Central Park and other sites need separate applications, which we file.

Can you shoot in Brooklyn as well as Manhattan?

Yes. DUMBO, Williamsburg, and Greenpoint are common for tech brand work: easier permits than much of Manhattan, more parking options, and industrial looks you cannot replicate in Midtown at the same budget.
