What We Do
St. Paul Videographer for Government, Finance, Healthcare, Higher Education & Corporate Brands
Pointing a camera is the simple part. At Beverly Boy Productions, our St. Paul-based videographers start with the job the video needs to do, then build the shoot around that goal so the finished piece supports a campaign, pitch, hiring effort, internal message, or public-facing story.
St. Paul productions often serve government agencies near the Capitol, finance and corporate offices downtown, healthcare organizations, colleges, nonprofit groups, civic institutions, and regional brands. We shape the coverage around the audience, whether the final content is used for recruiting, training, fundraising, marketing, executive communication, or event promotion.

Filming in St. Paul
What It's Like Filming in St. Paul
St. Paul offers a wide visual range, from the Victorian homes and tree-lined streets of Summit Avenue and Cathedral Hill to the civic architecture of the State Capitol, Landmark Center, and Rice Park. Downtown and Lowertown provide a mix of office towers, historic warehouses, Union Depot’s grand interiors, and creative spaces, while the Mississippi Riverfront and Harriet Island add skyline views, open green areas, and water-based backdrops within a compact area.
Production planning in St. Paul requires attention to seasonal conditions and logistics. Winters bring snow, cold temperatures, and limited daylight, while summer introduces humidity, storms, and increased event activity. Traffic patterns around I-94, I-35E, and downtown corridors can affect timing, and parking or access near civic sites and parks may require coordination. Careful scheduling around weather, traffic, and location access helps keep shoots efficient and on track.
Local Filming Tips (Save Your Crew Time)
| Topic | Quick Advice |
| Permit Requirements | Most commercial filming on public property requires a permit and a certificate of insurance naming the City of Saint Paul. Public Works Right-of-Way typically handles streets and sidewalks, while Parks & Recreation manages locations like Como Park, Harriet Island, and Upper Landing. Private property requires owner approval. |
| Lead Times | Standard permits are often processed within 5–10 business days, but shoots involving traffic control, large crews, or public safety coordination may require 2–3 weeks or more. Plan additional time during major events or peak seasons. |
| Fees | Permit fees vary based on location, duration, and impact. Expect additional costs for police officers, traffic control, parking reservations, or park usage. Always confirm current fee schedules with the appropriate city department before budgeting. |
| Parking | Downtown ramps near Rice Park and Lowertown work well for small crews. Larger productions may need reserved curb space or permitted vehicle holds. Winter snow-emergency rules can restrict parking with little notice, so monitor city alerts closely. |
| Traffic | I-94 and I-35E experience heavy congestion during rush hours. Downtown streets, Capitol areas, and event zones can slow load-ins and crew movement. Schedule arrivals outside peak traffic times when possible and allow buffer time for setup. |
| Weather | Winters bring snow, ice, sub-zero temperatures, and limited daylight, requiring cold-weather gear and flexible scheduling. Summers can include humidity, thunderstorms, and event-related congestion. Always build weather contingencies into exterior shoot plans. |
| Sound | Traffic near the Capitol, rail activity around Union Depot, and aircraft from Holman Field can interfere with audio. Choose controlled interior spaces when possible and schedule dialogue-heavy scenes during quieter periods. |
| Drones | FAA Part 107 certification is required for commercial drone use. Downtown St. Paul falls within controlled airspace near Holman Field, so LAANC authorization or additional approvals may be necessary. Always verify airspace restrictions and local launch conditions before flying. |
