What It’s Like Filming in Durham
Filming in Durham, North Carolina offers a blend of historic charm and modern energy. Locations like the American Tobacco Campus, Duke Gardens, and Downtown Durham’s Brightleaf Square bring unique character and vibrant visuals to any production.
If you’re filming in public spaces, permits may be required, especially in areas like Durham Central Park or near Duke University. We help streamline the process by working with the Durham Film Office to coordinate permits, road closures, parking, and city support, keeping your production on schedule.
Popular locations for shoots include rooftops in the Durham Innovation District, scenic spots along the Eno River, and historic venues like the Carolina Theatre. Working with a skilled Durham videographer ensures your shoot is not only visually stunning but also runs efficiently from pre-production through final edits.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| Topic | Quick advice |
|---|---|
| Permits | File shoot details with the Discover Durham Film Office; street closures need a City Special-Events film permit. Budget for off-duty police if you’re working curb lanes along Blackwell Street near the ballpark. |
| Weather hacks | Spring highs climb from 58 °F to 82 °F, 25 °F swings are normal, so keep light layers and pop-up shade tents on the truck. |
| Parking | Downtown curb spaces demand a Temporary On-Street Parking Permit from ParkDurham ($27.50 per space/day); lock spots for box trucks at least three business days ahead. |
| Sound | Freight horns on the Norfolk Southern line at the Gregson Street Overpass cut through downtown; record interviews before 6 a.m. or after 9 p.m. to dodge peak rail traffic. |

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
FAQS - Hiring a Videographer in Durham
How much does a videographer cost in Durham?
What types of videos do your Durham crews film most often?
How far in advance should I book?
For weekday shoots, 2–3 weeks’ notice usually secures crew and permits. Prime dates, large crews, or public locations may require 4–6 weeks. Last-minute shoots (under 72 hours) are sometimes possible, depending on availability—especially for small crews or interior locations.
Can you handle filming permits?
Yes. We coordinate permits through Discover Durham Film Office and manage insurance certificates, location approvals, and required city services when filming in public spaces, parks, or high-traffic areas.
Do you offer both ground and drone filming
Simple social-media edits can be delivered in 48 hours. Most corporate and branded projects are completed within 7–10 business days, depending on scope and revisions. Rush edits are available if timing is critical.
Do you work in all Durham boroughs?
What should I budget extra for when filming in Durham?
Common add-ons include parking holds, location fees, security or PAs for sidewalk control, early-morning access, and sound mitigation in busy areas. We flag these early so there are no surprises.
How much does a professional 2 minute video cost?
In Durham, a polished two-minute video usually lands between $4 K and $12 K for a single-day, two-camera shoot with basic post, but can top $22 K once you layer in drone ops, motion graphics, and full Local 491 crew scale. City film-office fees, ParkDurham curb-space holds, and weekend overtime are the variables that swing it up or down.
