What We Do
Honolulu Videographer for Hospitality, Real Estate, Healthcare, Events, and Corporate Brands
A beautiful shot and a video that supports a clear business goal are not always the same thing. At Beverly Boy Productions, our Honolulu-based videographers start with the result the piece needs to deliver, then shape the shoot around the audience, platform, and final use.
Hospitality brands often need resort features, guest experience content, and scenic lifestyle footage. Real estate and development clients may need property walkthroughs, neighborhood visuals, or investor-facing content, while healthcare, corporate, education, and event clients often need interviews, conference coverage, recruiting pieces, or brand stories that feel polished and local.

Filming in Honolulu
What It's Like Filming in Honolulu
Honolulu offers an impressive mix of filming environments within a relatively small area. Productions can capture beachfront resort scenes in Waikiki, colorful murals and contemporary architecture in Kakaako, historic landmarks and corporate settings in Downtown Honolulu, and dramatic mountain and coastline views throughout the island’s ridgelines and lookouts.
Production planning in Honolulu should account for seasonal weather patterns, including trade-wind showers, winter surf conditions, and periods of strong sun and wind. Scheduling also benefits from careful consideration of H-1 traffic, limited parking in busy districts, location access requirements, and travel times between urban and coastal filming areas.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| Topic | Quick Advice |
| Permits | Oahu permitting depends on jurisdiction. The Honolulu Film Office handles city and county property, while the Hawaii Film Office handles state-administered locations such as many beaches, parks, highways, harbors, and coastline areas. |
| Lead Times | Standard state permits should be planned ahead, with extra time for harbors, airports, roadways, large setups, or locations that require agency review. Simple private-property shoots may move faster if the owner approval is already secured. |
| Parking and Traffic | H-1 traffic, Waikiki congestion, downtown parking, hotel loading zones, and limited staging space can affect company moves. Build travel time into the schedule and confirm load-in details before the shoot. |
| Weather | Trade-wind showers are often brief, but covers and flexible timing still matter. Winter surf, windward rain, strong sun, and hurricane-season systems can affect exterior filming. |
| Sound | Surf, wind, resort crowds, aircraft, traffic, and public walkways can reach the mic quickly. For interviews, quieter interiors or protected outdoor locations usually work better than exposed beachfront spaces. |
| Drones | Drone filming requires FAA-compliant pilots and careful planning around Honolulu airspace, military zones, airports, people, and location rules. Hawaii State Parks prohibit launching or landing drones, so aerial routes need to be planned around approved areas. |

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 Honolulu
How much does a videographer cost in Honolulu?
Half-day, single-camera shoots in Honolulu generally run $1,800 to $2,800. Multi-day projects with expanded professionals, aerial filming, layered permits, and full post-production can range from $13K to $22K depending on scope.
What types of videos do your Honolulu crews film most often?
How far in advance should I book?
For a standard weekday shoot, 2 to 3 weeks is usually enough to secure availability and basic planning. State locations, harbors, airports, large public setups, drone filming, or monitor requirements are safer to plan 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
Can you handle filming permits?
Yes. We help coordinate the correct permit path for city, county, state, beach, park, roadway, and public-property locations, along with required insurance documents and any special location conditions.
Do you offer both ground and drone filming?
Yes. Ground filming can be paired with FAA Part 107 drone pilots when the location, airspace, and property rules allow it.
What should I budget extra for when filming in Honolulu?
Common extra costs include permits, certificates of insurance, parking, hotel or location fees, state monitors, police support, drone approvals, gear shipping, weather holds, and rush edits.
How much should a 3-minute video cost?
A polished 3-minute video often falls within a Tier 2 range of $2,500 to $4,500 or a Tier 3 range of $4,500 to $7,500. The final cost depends on locations, crew size, filming days, graphics, music, revisions, and post-production needs.
