Filming in McAllen
What It's Like Filming in McAllen
McAllen offers a wide South Texas visual range, from the 17th Street Entertainment District’s restaurant rows to the McAllen Convention Center and Performing Arts Center’s modern architecture, Quinta Mazatlan’s historic adobe setting, and the green spaces around Firemen’s Park and Archer Park. The city’s warm climate, border-region economy, and compact commercial districts give productions several distinct looks within a manageable footprint.
Production planning depends on heat, traffic, events, and location type. Downtown and entertainment areas require timing around nightlife and restaurant activity, convention district shoots need attention to event schedules and parking, and airport-adjacent locations can bring aircraft noise. Border proximity and drone work may also require added review before filming is locked.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| Topic | Quick Advice |
| Permit Requirements | There is no statewide permit in Texas. Filming on public streets, parks, or city-owned property in McAllen should be coordinated with city departments or Visit McAllen in advance to confirm requirements and approvals. |
| Lead Times | Simple shoots on private property can often be arranged within a few days. Projects involving public spaces, traffic control, or drone operations should allow 1–3 weeks for coordination and approvals. |
| Fees | Permit fees vary depending on location, scope, and city involvement. Costs may include location fees, insurance requirements, parking arrangements, or city services such as police or traffic control if needed. |
| Parking | Parking can be limited in Downtown, the 17th Street district, and near the convention center during events. Plan crew parking ahead of time and coordinate with property owners or city contacts when reserving spaces for production vehicles. |
| Traffic | Major roads like 10th Street and Nolana Avenue can experience steady traffic, especially during peak hours. Schedule exterior shoots during off-peak times when possible to reduce delays and noise interruptions. |
| Weather | McAllen’s climate is hot and humid for much of the year. Summer temperatures can be intense, and hurricane season (June–November) may bring sudden storms. Early call times, shade, hydration, and weather backup plans are recommended. |
| Sound | Traffic, nightlife activity, and aircraft from McAllen International Airport can impact audio quality. For dialogue-heavy scenes, consider controlled indoor environments or quieter exterior locations. |
| Drones | Drone operations require an FAA Part 107 certified pilot. Airspace near McAllen International Airport and border-region considerations may require advance FAA authorization and additional planning before flight operations. |

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 — Hiring a Videographer in McAllen
How much does a videographer cost in McAllen?
A half-day, single-camera shoot in McAllen generally runs $1,100 to $1,700. Multi-day projects with added professionals, drone coverage, and full post-production can land in the $6,000 to $10,000 range depending on scope, location count, permit needs, travel, and turnaround.
What types of videos do your McAllen crews film most often?
Common projects include healthcare recruitment videos, retail brand content, corporate interviews, trade-focused pieces, event coverage, tourism visuals, nonprofit stories, training videos, and internal communications.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks is a good starting point for most standard weekday shoots. Projects involving public property, city coordination, drone work, event-heavy areas, border-adjacent locations, or multiple Rio Grande Valley locations should be planned earlier.
Can you handle filming permits?
Yes. We can help coordinate City of McAllen contacts, Visit McAllen support, Texas Film Commission resources, location agreements, insurance requirements, and any added review needed for public access, streets, parks, or city facilities.
Do you offer both ground and drone filming?
Yes. Ground coverage can include cinema cameras, lighting, audio, and support gear, while aerial work is handled by FAA Part 107 certified drone pilots when the location, airspace, and approvals allow it.
What should I budget extra for when filming in McAllen?
Common added costs include permit or location fees, production parking, insurance requirements, drone authorization need, public-space coordination, weather contingency time, Rio Grande Valley travel, and rush editing.
How much should a 3-minute video cost?
A polished 3-minute video often falls in the $2,500 to $7,500 range depending on location count, shoot length, production support, editing, graphics, licensed music, and delivery needs. A single-location interview usually costs less than a multi-location piece with a more detailed post-production plan.
