Madison Videographer Services
A Madison videographer earns the fee before the camera ever rolls: the isthmus tightens travel between two lakes, downtown parking fills quickly, and winter daylight disappears early. Madison puts government buildings, university settings, lakefront views, research facilities, offices, and historic neighborhoods within a compact but busy city.
Our team works throughout Madison and the surrounding Dane County area. We plan around isthmus traffic, building access, event schedules, and seasonal weather so the shoot day stays simple.

Filming in Madison
What It Is Like Filming in Madison
Madison gives you a distinctive range of settings within a short distance. The Capitol dome anchors the downtown skyline, State Street links the square to the university, Lake Monona reflects the city along John Nolen Drive, and the Beltline area adds modern laboratories, offices, and corporate interiors.
The isthmus keeps locations close but leaves limited room for parking and loading. Badger games, Capitol Square events, the farmers’ market, and downtown festivals can slow moves through the center. Winter brings cold, snow, and short days, while summer adds humidity and thunderstorms.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| Topic | Quick Advice |
| Permits | Commercial filming in a City of Madison park requires a Commercial Shoot Park permit. Applications should be submitted at least 14 days ahead. Street closures or reserved parking may require additional city coordination, with longer deadlines for larger requests. |
| Campus Access | UW-Madison generally restricts commercial and professional filming on university property. Submit requests early and obtain written approval before listing a campus location on the call sheet. |
| Property Access | Government buildings, laboratories, offices, venues, gardens, and private properties may require advance approval, insurance documents, or scheduled loading access. |
| Weather | Winters are cold and snowy, with shorter daylight hours that affect exterior schedules. Summers are warmer and more humid, with thunderstorms capable of interrupting outdoor work. |
| Parking and Traffic | Downtown garages and meters fill quickly during Badger games, Capitol Square events, and the Saturday farmers’ market. Allow extra time around the Beltline, John Nolen Drive, and the university during rush hour. |
| Sound | Downtown events, traffic, construction, and aircraft activity near Dane County Regional Airport and Truax Field can interrupt dialogue. Check the location during the same time of day planned for filming. |
| Drones | Aerial requirements depend on the launch site, property rules, and surrounding airspace. UW-Madison, Dane County parks, and state-managed properties carry separate restrictions, while controlled airspace may require FAA authorization. |
| Film Incentives | Larger eligible projects may qualify for Wisconsin’s film tax-credit program. Film Wisconsin reviews applications, spending requirements, and final project certification. |

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.

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.

How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks is generally enough for a straightforward weekday shoot. Projects involving campus locations, city parks, street restrictions, major events, or multiple properties may require four to six weeks.
Can you handle permits and location coordination?
Yes. We identify the requirements connected to the location and help coordinate park permits, street or parking requests, campus inquiries, and private-property access.
Do you offer standard and drone filming?
Yes. Standard filming and approved aerial footage can be included based on the project. Drone operations depend on the exact location, property approval, weather, and surrounding airspace.
What additional costs should I consider?
Possible additions include location fees, insurance requirements, parking reservations, after-hours access, permits, aerial authorization, weather contingency days, and expedited editing.
How much should a finished 3-minute video cost?
A polished 3-minute piece generally ranges from $2,500 to $7,500 depending on the number of locations, filming requirements, project complexity, graphics, licensed music, and editing needs.
