Filming in Boston
Planning a Shoot in Boston
Boston gives you history and innovation side by side: the brick and gas lamps of Beacon Hill, the brownstones of Back Bay, the harbor and the Freedom Trail, and the glass towers of the Seaport. The seasons and the streets shape the plan. Winters bring cold, snow, and nor’easters off the harbor, summers run warm and humid, fall brings the foliage crews travel for, and the narrow colonial layout makes staging tight.
Permitting runs through several departments, with the Mayor’s Office of Tourism, Sports, and Entertainment as the front door. After a plan review, you carry a certificate of insurance naming the City and a security bond against property damage, then pull the specific permits from Transportation, Public Works, and the public safety agencies. The Esplanade and other state land run through the Massachusetts Film Office and DCR, so we map each location before the first call time.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| TOPIC | QUICK ADVICE |
|---|---|
| Permits | Boston permits recommend applying at least 10 days before filming. Productions need at least $1 million in insurance coverage and a security bond of at least $5,000. Public-area, street-occupancy, police, and Fire Department requirements depend on the activity. State properties such as the Charles River Esplanade require a separate DCR permit. |
| Weather | New England works a full four seasons, so winters bring cold, snow, and nor’easters that can shut down exteriors, summers are warm and humid, and fall delivers the foliage. Build weather days into the winter schedule, chase the short winter daylight early, and keep rain and snow covers on hand outside of summer. |
| Parking | Boston traffic, the narrow one-way colonial streets, and tight, expensive parking are the real constraints, and production trucks cannot use Storrow Drive because of its low bridges. Lock truck and van holds early through your permit and plan staging carefully in the older neighborhoods. |
| Sound | Harbor wind, traffic, the T, and crowds along the Freedom Trail all carry into a take. Scout interiors with solid glass for dialogue and schedule sensitive recording away from rush hour and tourist corridors. |

Amy Freinberg-Trufas
I’m a freelance camera operator 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 About Hiring a Videographer in Boston
How much does a videographer cost in Boston?
Boston videography pricing depends on crew size, filming hours, equipment, location access, and editing. A focused half-day shoot may begin around $1,600 to $2,300, while multi-site or multi-day assignments can reach $9,000 to $15,000 or more. We provide a line-item estimate after reviewing the complete scope.
What types of videos do your Boston crews film most often?
Most weeks our cameras are on biotech and life-sciences content in the Seaport and Kendall, healthcare and hospital video in the Longwood area, and higher-education shoots across the campuses. We add finance and corporate work downtown and brand and social content in Back Bay and the North End, so the slate spans buttoned-up institutional video and looser brand storytelling.
How far in advance should I book?
Can you coordinate Boston filming permits?
Yes. We coordinate the City film application, insurance and bond documents, parking requests, police details, and other location requirements when needed. State properties such as the Charles River Esplanade require a separate Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation permit.
Do you offer both ground and drone filming?
Yes. On the ground we run Sony FX9/FX6, RED V-RAPTOR X, and ARRI ALEXA Mini LF bodies. In the air we fly DJI Inspire 3 drones with FAA Part 107 certified pilots, filing the authorizations the Class B airspace around Boston Logan requires, which is significant since Logan sits right on the harbor next to downtown.
What additional costs should I include in my Boston filming budget?
Possible additional costs include public-area permits, street occupancy, reserved parking, police or Fire Department details, venue fees, security requirements, state-property permits, drone coordination, licensed music, talent, rush editing, and weather contingencies. These items are listed separately in the estimate when they apply.
How much should a 3-minute video cost?
Finished length alone does not determine the budget. A three-minute video may come from a short interview at one location or several days of filming across offices, campuses, medical settings, and exterior locations. Crew size, schedule, equipment, graphics, music, and editing shape the final estimate, so we quote the complete scope rather than charging by finished minute.
