Austin Videographer Services
An Austin videographer spends more of the day on logistics than on lenses, between I-35 at a crawl, a downtown booked solid for a festival, and heat that climbs past 100 by noon. That groundwork is exactly the part we absorb, so your shoot day stays on schedule. We cover the whole city, including downtown and the Capitol, South Congress, East Austin, and the tech corridors up toward the Domain.
Permitting here is cheaper than most cities and more calendar-sensitive than most. Austin does not require one universal film permit, but city approval may be needed when a production uses the right-of-way, parks, airport property, or other public locations. The Austin Film Commission serves as a production resource for locations, vendors, and local contacts, while City of Austin departments handle the actual permits. We coordinate the right office, file the needed applications, carry the required insurance, and plan around SXSW, ACL, F1 weekend, and other events that can tighten road access fast. Corporate video, event coverage, or a brand spot, we show up ready and deliver on schedule.

Filming in Austin
What It's Like Filming in Austin
Austin gives you the Capitol and Congress Avenue, a downtown skyline mirrored in Lady Bird Lake, the murals of South Congress, the creative blocks of East Austin, and the Hill Country green around the 360 Bridge, all under strong Texas sun. The heat shapes the calendar more than anything. Summers run long and hot, often holding past 100 for days at a time, so exteriors get the early light and the crew gets shade and water.
The permitting reality is straightforward once you know the split. The City requires a right-of-way permit for any street, sidewalk, alley, or parking-lane work, including b-roll, and that permit is free through the Office of Special Events. Filming entirely on private property generally needs no city permit, city parks route through Parks and Recreation, and state property such as the Capitol goes through the Texas Film Commission, so we confirm each one before the first call time.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| TOPIC | QUICK ADVICE |
|---|---|
| Permits | A City of Austin right-of-way film permit through the Office of Special Events is required for any street, sidewalk, alley, or parking-lane work, including b-roll, and it carries no fee. Apply via the AB+C portal at least 3 business days ahead, file the APD Film Safety Application at least 5 days ahead, and add a Traffic Control Plan for closures. City parks permit through Parks and Recreation, and state property such as the Capitol routes through the Texas Film Commission. |
| Weather | Summers are long and very hot, often past 100 for days at a stretch, so exteriors get early call times and the crew gets shade and water. Central Texas is flash-flood country, so watch Hill Country creeks and low-water crossings during spring and fall storms, and keep a contingency for the rare winter ice event. |
| Parking | I-35 through downtown and MoPac (Loop 1) are among the most congested roads in Texas, so pad time for moves between locations. Downtown and South Congress parking is tight, so reserve meters and lock truck and van holds ahead through your permit. |
| Sound | Live music, 6th Street and Rainey Street nightlife, I-35 traffic, and event crowds all carry into a take. Scout interiors with solid glass for dialogue and schedule sensitive recording away from the bars, the highway, and festival days. |

TAG Heuer Store Opening Event Capture - Austin
Beverly Boy Productions had the honor of partnering with premier PR agency BPCM to capture the grand opening of the new TAG Heuer boutique in Austin, Texas. Our professional Austin videographer team was on-site to document the exciting event, which featured a stunning Red Bull Racing F1 car display and exclusive interviews with brand ambassadors. With a two-camera crew and a dedicated sound operator, we captured dynamic b-roll of the luxury store, the engaged crowd at Domain Northside, and the overall vibrant atmosphere.
Our crew focused on delivering high-quality raw footage of the store’s interior, the exquisite TAG Heuer products, and the key event moments, including Q&A sessions with brand representatives. The entire project was completed with a rapid under-24-hour turnaround, with the raw footage delivered directly to the client on-site via hard drive, ready for their social media and digital press needs.

Anastasia Keating
Fantastic professionals that exceeded our expectations. Looking forward to working with them again.
Harman Professional Solutions
I’m a freelance camera operator in Orlando and have worked with Beverly Boy Productions on three projects over the past few years. Each shoot was organized, professional, and ran on time. Call sheets were clear, communication was solid, and the team respected the freelance crew.
Max Lenz
Despite some tight time constraints, Beverly Boy Productions kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. Felice and her team’s time management skills were truly impressive, and they were always able to adapt quickly to any changes that arose.
Terry Cristain
Lana at Beverly Boy has been extremely helpful in finding me videographers in multiple locations across the country, sometimes at extremely short notice. The process has always been smooth, simple, and a huge relief.
Evan Stultz
Hired them for an exterior commercial shoot — not always the easiest conditions. The crew was well crafted, and the lighting techniques they used were truly top-notch. Gordon and his crew were able to create a range of different lighting setups to suit each scene.

Common Questions
FAQs — Hiring a Videographer in Austin
How much does a videographer cost in Austin?
Half-day, single-camera shoots in Austin generally run $1,700 to $2,400, while multi-day projects with a Local 600 DP, Local 484 crew, Inspire-class drone work, and full post land in the $10K to $16K range. Permit and APD needs, festival-week premiums, downtown parking, and rush edits all move the total, so we issue a transparent, line-item bid that lets you adjust scope before you green-light.
What types of videos do your Austin crews film most often?
Most weeks we are shooting tech and enterprise content at the Domain and across the metro, product launches and founder interviews for startups, and corporate, government, and recruiting video downtown. We round it out with music and live-event coverage and conference work at the Austin Convention Center, so the work moves between polished institutional video and creative brand storytelling.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekday shoots, 2 to 3 weeks is usually enough to lock crew and permits. Anything tied to SXSW in March, ACL in October, the F1 weekend, or a busy stretch of the legislative session fills faster, so 4 to 6 weeks or more is the safer window during those peaks to secure your preferred crew and locations.
Can you handle filming permits?
Yes. We manage the full process through the City of Austin Office of Special Events, including the no-fee right-of-way film permit, the APD Film Safety Application, a Traffic Control Plan for closures, and the required insurance. City parks route through Parks and Recreation and state property through the Texas Film Commission, and we handle whichever a shoot calls for. The Austin Film Commission serves as the location and resource liaison.
Do you offer both ground and drone filming?
Yes. Our ground crews run Sony FX9/FX6, RED V-RAPTOR X, and ARRI ALEXA Mini LF systems. For aerial, we fly DJI Inspire 3 drones with FAA Part 107 certified pilots and file the LAANC and airspace authorizations required in the Class C airspace around Austin-Bergstrom International (AUS), with extra care over downtown and the Capitol.
What should I budget extra for when filming in Austin?
Beyond the base crew and gear, plan for a few Austin-specific line items. APD officer details beyond the two the City provides at no charge, a Traffic Control Plan and barricade company for closures, and parks permits are common. Downtown parking, summer early-call premiums and Hill Country weather contingency days, airspace authorizations, festival-week rates, and rush edits also shift the number, so we list each one separately to keep the bid clear.
How much should a 3-minute video cost?
A polished 3-minute video typically falls within our Tier 2 ($2,500 to $4,500) to Tier 3 ($4,500 to $7,500) pricing range, depending on complexity, number of shoot locations, crew size, and post-production needs. Simple interview-style videos land on the lower end, while multi-location pieces with graphics and licensed music fall on the higher end.
