Question 1

How much does a videographer cost in Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

Expect about $1,600–$2,200 for a half-day, single-camera crew and $14,000–$18,000+ for multi-day projects that include specialty gear, a full union crew, and post-production. Rates flex with crew size, permit complexity, union minimums, and turnaround speed, and every line item is quoted à-la-carte so you pay only for what you need.

Question 2

What types of videos do your Philadelphia crews film most often?

Accepted Answer

We’re busiest with corporate communications for the region’s life-sciences and finance sectors, higher-ed pieces in West Philly’s university corridor, nonprofit PSAs, conference livestreams at the Convention Center, and documentary segments around historic districts.

Question 3

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

For weekday shoots, 7–14 days usually secures crew and basic permits. Large public setups, union heavy-ups, or street closures work best with 3–4 weeks lead time. Last-minute calls (under 72 hours) are sometimes possible for small interiors.

Question 4

Can you handle filming permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We pull location and street-closure paperwork through the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, and we handle Parks & Rec media permits and Street Occupancy permits when sidewalks or parking lanes are involved.

Question 5

Do you offer both ground and drone filming?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Our FAA Part 107-certified pilots handle drone ops; note that take-offs/landings on city-owned property require written permission, and Class B airspace near PHL may need a LAANC or waiver from the FAA.
