What It’s Like Filming in Madison
Filming in Madison, Wisconsin offers a unique blend of natural beauty and urban charm. From the vibrant State Street area to the serene shores of Lake Mendota, the city presents a wide variety of cinematic backdrops.
Shooting permits are often required for public locations such as Capitol Square or James Madison Park. We simplify the permitting process through the Wisconsin Film Office and Entertainment office, handling everything from street use permissions to parking arrangements, so your production stays on schedule.
Popular filming locations include the Wisconsin State Capitol, Memorial Union Terrace, and the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Partnering with an experienced Madison videographer ensures your shoot runs smoothly and your visuals stand out.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| Topic | Quick advice |
|---|---|
| Permits | Apply through the City of Madison City Clerk Street Use/Film Permit portal; if you’re closing lanes around Capitol Square, add a traffic-officer request in the same form to keep Metro bus routes moving. |
| Weather hacks | Spring swings can hit 30 °F – 40 °F at dawn, 70 °F by mid-afternoon, so pack layered wardrobe and lens-wipe cloths for morning condensation. |
| Parking | Production vans and box trucks need a Temporary No-Parking Permit from Madison Parking Utility; post “No Parking” signs 48 hours ahead and submit the curb-space request at least five business days early. |
| Sound | Freight horns on the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad corridor echo across downtown; record dialogue before 6 a.m. or after 10 p.m. when traffic drops and horns are infrequent. |

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
FAQS - Hiring a Videographer in Madison
How much does a videographer cost in Madison?
What types of videos do your Madison 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 City of Madison City Clerk Street Use/Film Permit portal 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 Madison boroughs?
What should I budget extra for when filming in Madison?
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?
A polished two-minute piece with union crew, DP, gaffer, audio, plus a day of color and mix, usually runs $8 k – $12 k in Madison. Add drone passes or after-hours street closures and the budget can edge toward $15 k once City of Madison Street Use Permits fees and IATSE Local 476 scale rates kick in.
