5 Reasons to Consider New York City Commercial Production Companies

If you’re a business owner interested in creating compelling video content for your website, social media, or various other marketing campaigns, you’ve probably scoured the web in search of the right production company for the job. In fact, you may have even found some allure toward hiring a freelancer, especially if you’re interested in saving money (and aren’t most businesses trying to cut costs right now?)! But, New York City commercial production companies like Beverly Boy Productions can provide substantially higher quality videos for your business often at a lower overall cost than what you would pay for a freelancer.

Not that we’re dissing freelance videographers! That’s not what we’re here to do by any means! But, video production in New York City requires a LOT of logistics in order to succeed.

There’s expensive equipment, scheduling, and the mere knowledge of the city and networking required to ensure a production can come together despite all of the various underlying factors which could easily get in the way of a successful production project.

These are just a few of the reasons we believe you should consider New York City commercial production companies, over freelancers, or what may initially appear as lower-cost solutions to your video production needs.

1. Extensive Industry Knowledge from a Team of Experts

Hiring New York City commercial production companies like Team Beverly Boy will provide you with a team of experts that bring extensive industry knowledge to your video project.

Instead of working with a freelancer which may (or may not) have a lot of knowledge in filmmaking, or of NYC, a commercial production crew guarantees multiple inputs for your project and like the old saying goes, two heads are better than one!

2. Logistics that Lead to Logical Solutions & Success

That’s right, as simple as it may seem, logistically speaking, commercial production companies provide your business with the important logical solutions required for filmmaking in NYC that will lead to a successfully completed project.

Filming in New York City requires a firm understanding of permitting, insurance requirements (did you know you need insurance to film almost anywhere in public in NYC and for many private locations too?), and many other elements required for a production to take place without interruption.

Sure, you could hire a freelancer, but if they wind up shooting your film Guerilla style there’s a chance you could face HUGE penalties later on, and your footage may not even be useful to you. Is it really worth the risk?

3. Professional Project Management

Hiring New York City commercial production companies like Beverly Boy Productions places your film project in the hands of professionals that are prepared to professionally manage your project.

In fact, one of the key factors we tend to tell clients to look for when hiring a professional filmmaker is a management style that aligns well with their own corporate style.

A professional production crew will make sure that your project is handled in a way that ensures proper progression without potential hiccups or snags in the production process.

4. A Timeline that You Can Count On

This is not to say that a freelancer cannot be counted on, because many of them are extremely dependable.

However, when you consider New York City commercial production companies as your go to for handing the video projects on your to-do list you can rest assured that the timeline that is scheduled in advance of your project is the same timeline that you can expect the project to progress along.

This is especially important when you’re producing time-sensitive video content.

5. Local Knowledge & Connections

Hiring New York City commercial production companies puts your video project in the hands of professionals that will have quality equipment, local knowledge and connections with nearby New York City businesses and rental companies that can provide access to additional equipment or various other needs that may come up when shooting.

Hiring local means you’ll have someone that knows where to shoot, when to shoot, and who to call should some unforeseen need come up at the last minute. This can make a huge impact on your video production.
