How much does video production cost in Des Moines?

Des Moines video production costs typically range from $4,500 for short-form social content to $35,000+ for full commercial productions.

What Des Moines neighborhoods do you serve?

Tone Films Des Moines serves all of Des Moines — Downtown, East Village, Sherman Hill, Drake, Beaverdale, Ingersoll, South of Grand, Highland Park, Western Hills, Capitol East, and River Bend — plus West Des Moines, Urbandale, Ankeny, Clive, Waukee, Johnston, Pleasant Hill, Norwalk, Indianola, Altoona, Grimes, Polk City, and central Iowa (Ames, Newton). No travel fees within 50 miles of Downtown Des Moines.

What types of businesses do you work with in Des Moines?

Des Moines is the U.S. insurance capital. We work with insurance and financial services (Principal Financial Group, Nationwide, EMC Insurance, Athene, Wells Fargo, Bankers Trust), agribusiness (John Deere, Pioneer/Corteva, Kemin Industries, Iowa Soybean Association, Iowa pork producers), healthcare (UnityPoint, MercyOne, Broadlawns), Drake University, the Iowa State Capitol and state agencies, manufacturing, Workiva, and family-owned multigenerational businesses across central Iowa.

Can you handle Des Moines film permits and location logistics?

Yes — we work with the City of Des Moines and Polk County for permits across streets, parks, public buildings, and the Iowa State Capitol grounds. We also know the venue managers across the Iowa Events Center, Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines Civic Center, Drake campus, the Iowa State Fairgrounds, and Principal Park, and can secure private location releases quickly. We can also help productions qualify for the Iowa Film Office's production assistance programs.

Do you offer drone videography in Des Moines?

Yes — in legal flight zones. We're FAA Part 107 licensed and authorized to fly across most of Polk County and central Iowa. Areas near Des Moines International (DSM) and Ankeny Regional (IKV) require LAANC authorization, which we handle in advance. We also fly Downtown Des Moines, the Iowa State Capitol exterior, Gray's Lake, Saylorville Lake, agricultural fields, and the Loess Hills for insurance, agribusiness, real estate, and lifestyle b-roll.

Can you produce video for insurance and agribusiness clients?

Yes. Insurance and agribusiness are anchor verticals for us. We produce executive interviews, earnings-related content, investor relations video, recruitment films, brand campaigns, training content, agribusiness equipment commercials, farm and ranch documentaries, and B2B explainers. Our crew is experienced with regulated insurance industry compliance protocols and agricultural facility access.

How do I choose the best video production company in Des Moines?

Look at four things: (1) a portfolio that matches the style you want, (2) verified Google reviews from real local clients (we have 2 and growing), (3) a clear, written proposal with deliverables, timelines, and itemized costs, and (4) a team you actually enjoy talking to. Tone Films Des Moines has a perfect 5.0 rating across our 2 verified Des Moines Google reviews and a full Des Moines portfolio you can review before signing anything.

What kinds of videos do you produce in Des Moines?

We produce insurance and financial services brand films and executive interviews, agribusiness equipment commercials and farm documentaries, healthcare patient stories for UnityPoint and MercyOne, Drake University recruitment, Iowa State Capitol public-sector communications, Iowa State Fair event coverage, manufacturing safety films, social media content, drone aerials of Saylorville and Iowa farmland, and documentary-style storytelling for Des Moines family businesses.

What sets Tone Films apart from other Des Moines video production companies?

Three things: (1) a cinematic, story-first approach — we direct every shoot like a short film, not a corporate checklist; (2) a team with national-brand experience (Grey Goose, KFC, Tabasco, Hendrick's Gin, Waste Management) brought to Des Moines clients without national-agency overhead; and (3) a perfect 5.0 rating across 2 verified Des Moines Google reviews. We obsess over the finished product and the experience of getting there.

Andrei Tone, Owner and Production Director, Tone Films Boston

A Note From Andrei

I read every inquiry that comes through this page.

Tone Films isn’t a video agency that grew big and lost the obsession that built it. We’re a four-person team in Back Bay, serving Fidelity, State Street, John Hancock, the Kendall Square biotech community, Harvard, MIT, BU, Mass General, Brigham, Dana-Farber, Boston Consulting Group, Bain, the Red Sox and Celtics, and the creative founders shaping the Hub. I direct every project. David shoots and edits every frame. Grace shapes every story. Elias designs every home for the films online.

If you reach out, you’re talking to me — not a sales rep, not an account manager. That’s the deal. It’s why we’ve held 4.9 across 22 Boston reviews, and it’s why every project we deliver looks like our best one yet.

— Andrei Tone, Owner & Production Director

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know about hiring a Boston video production company.

How much does video production cost in Boston?

Boston video production costs typically range from $7,500 for short-form social content to $50,000+ for full commercial productions. Boston crew rates are competitive with NYC due to the financial services and biotech demand — most corporate, biotech, and brand videos for Boston clients fall between $10,000 and $35,000. At Tone Films Boston, we provide a free, custom quote within 24 hours and price transparently with itemized line items.

What Boston neighborhoods do you serve?

Tone Films Boston serves all of Boston — Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Downtown, Financial District, Seaport District, North End, South End, Fenway-Kenmore, Longwood Medical, Jamaica Plain, Allston-Brighton, Roxbury, Dorchester, South Boston, East Boston, and Charlestown — plus Cambridge (Kendall Square, Harvard Square), Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Waltham, Watertown, Quincy, and Lexington. No travel fees within 50 miles of Back Bay.

What types of businesses do you work with in Boston?

Boston’s industry mix is uniquely powerful. We work with financial services (Fidelity, State Street, John Hancock, Wellington, Putnam, Eastern Bank), biotech and life sciences (Moderna, Vertex, Biogen, Takeda, Sanofi, and Kendall Square startups), healthcare (Mass General, Brigham, Beth Israel Deaconess, Boston Children’s, Dana-Farber, Tufts Medical), higher education (Harvard, MIT, BU, Northeastern, BC, Tufts, Berklee), sports (Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, Patriots), consulting (BCG, Bain, McKinsey Boston), and Seaport tech (HubSpot, Wayfair, DraftKings, Toast, Klaviyo).

Can you handle Boston film permits and location logistics?

Yes — we work with the Boston Mayor’s Office of Tourism, Sports & Entertainment (which handles film permits) and the Massachusetts Film Office for permits across streets, parks, public buildings, the Esplanade, and the Boston Common. We also know the venue managers across Back Bay, the Seaport, Kendall Square, Fenway, TD Garden, Fenway Park, Hynes Convention Center, and Harvard/MIT campuses, and can secure private location releases quickly. We can also help productions qualify for the Massachusetts Film Tax Credit (25% rebate).

How long does it take to produce a commercial video in Boston?

Most Boston commercial video projects take 3 to 5 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. Typical timeline: one week of pre-production, 1–2 shoot days, and 2–3 weeks of editing and revisions. Rush projects can be completed in 5–7 business days when needed — we’ve turned same-week earnings-call B-roll for Fidelity and biotech announcement reactive content for Kendall Square clients.

Do you offer drone videography in Boston?

Yes — in legal flight zones. Boston airspace is highly restricted (most of Downtown, Logan Airport, and Hanscom AFB), but we’re FAA Part 107 licensed and authorized to fly across most of Greater Boston with proper LAANC airspace authorization. We also fly the Charles River corridor, the Esplanade, Boston Harbor, the South Shore, the North Shore (Salem, Marblehead), and approved zones in Cambridge, Brookline, and Newton for biotech, financial, real estate, and lifestyle b-roll.

Can you produce video for financial services and biotech companies?

Yes. Financial services and biotech are anchor verticals for us. We produce executive interviews, earnings-related content, investor relations video, recruitment films, brand campaigns, R&D documentaries, lab tours, IPO content, FDA-conscious product video, and B2B explainers. Our crew is experienced with regulated-industry productions, financial services compliance protocols, and biotech facility access (cleanrooms, BSL-2 labs with proper PPE).

Why hire a Boston video production company instead of a freelancer?

A production company brings a full crew, redundant gear, $2M+ liability insurance (required by most Boston financial firms, biotech facilities, and university campuses), a producer managing permits and logistics, and a colorist and editor working in parallel — all of which a single freelancer can’t offer. For brand-critical content used by Fidelity, State Street, Moderna, Mass General, or Harvard, that translates to fewer reshoots and finished video that holds up at broadcast and national level.

How do I choose the best video production company in Boston?

Look at four things: (1) a portfolio that matches the style you want, (2) verified Google reviews from real local clients (we have 22), (3) a clear, written proposal with deliverables, timelines, and itemized costs (Boston pricing is opaque elsewhere), and (4) a team you actually enjoy talking to — you’ll spend hours together on set. Tone Films Boston has 22 four-and-five-star Google reviews and a full Boston portfolio you can review before signing anything.

What kinds of videos do you produce in Boston?

We produce financial services brand films and executive interviews, biotech R&D documentaries and IPO content, healthcare patient stories for Mass General/Brigham/Dana-Farber, university recruitment and capital campaign films, sports team brand work for the Red Sox and Celtics, consulting firm brand campaigns, Seaport tech product launches, conference cinema, social media content for Instagram and TikTok, drone and aerial videography of Boston Harbor and the Charles, and documentary-style storytelling for Boston founders.

What sets Tone Films apart from other Boston video production companies?

Three things: (1) a cinematic, story-first approach — we direct every shoot like a short film, not a corporate checklist; (2) a team with national-brand experience (Grey Goose, KFC, Tabasco, Hendrick’s Gin, Waste Management) brought to Boston clients without national-agency overhead; and (3) a 4.9 rating across 22 verified Boston Google reviews. We obsess over the finished product and the experience of getting there.
