We build corporate video for Downtown financial firms, Ankeny and West Des Moines agribusiness, the UnityPoint medical campus hospitals, and Drake and DMACC campuses — organizations where a talking-head interview has to pass legal, brand, and sometimes FINRA or IRB review before it ships. The result is footage that is beautiful, on-message, and approved the first time.
Our Des Moines crew is based at 500 Locust Street and works across Downtown, the East Village, Sherman Hill, West Des Moines, Ankeny, the UnityPoint medical campus, and Greater Des Moines with no travel fees inside 50 miles. Same-week turnarounds are available for earnings-season B-roll, reactive announcement content, and executive messages that cannot wait. That responsiveness is why Des Moines corporate video production clients come back for their second and third projects.
Multi-camera, teleprompter-ready interviews for leadership updates, town halls, and investor communications. Lit and framed so a 45-minute session yields 20 usable minutes.
Culture films that show candidates what it is actually like to work at your Des Moines office or facility — used by HR teams competing with Principal and Nationwide for talent.
Onboarding, policy rollouts, safety and compliance training, and all-hands recaps that employees will watch to the end because they were made to be watched.
Roadshow video, earnings-call B-roll, and founder stories for Des Moines insurance, agribusiness, and fintech companies at Series B through public listing.
On-location interviews with your clients, cut into a 90-second proof piece for sales and a long-form version for the website.
Multi-cam capture and same-day social cutdowns for Iowa Events Center, Hy-Vee Hall, Wells Fargo Arena, and campus symposia. Live streaming available. See event video.
Des Moines corporate video production is a different job in each of these sectors. The crew, the release forms, and the review process change with the client; the standard of the footage does not.
Des Moines is friendlier on permits than most cities, but public property still has rules. Exterior shoots on public property go through the City of Des Moines Parks and Recreation permit office, Sports & Entertainment, and larger productions can qualify for the state incentive administered by the Iowa Film Office. Airspace is controlled near DSM and across much of the south side, so drone shots require FAA Part 107 licensing and LAANC authorization for the specific block you are on.
A local crew knows which lobbies need a certificate of insurance on file a week ahead, which hospital campuses require badge escorts, and which East Village rooftops have wind you cannot fly in after 2 PM. That knowledge is part of what you are buying with Des Moines corporate video production from a company with a Downtown office rather than a crew flown in for the day.
One call to define the audience, the message, and the approval chain. We draft the script or interview outline and a shot list; you approve before we roll.
Location scouting, talent scheduling, permits where needed, and gear prep. For regulated shoots we coordinate facility access and release forms in advance.
One to two shoot days with Sony cinema cameras, cinema lighting, lavalier and boom audio, and a director on set. FAA Part 107 drone where airspace allows.
Editing, color grading, sound design, captions, and motion graphics. Two revision rounds included. Masters delivered for web, social, internal platforms, and broadcast.
Des Moines crew rates run well below NYC and Chicago, which is why national brands increasingly shoot their Midwest content here. Most corporate projects for Des Moines clients fall between $6,500 and $20,000. Every quote is itemized and fixed-fee — no day-rate surprises.
Half-day, one location, one executive, two cameras. One 2–3 minute edit plus social cutdown.
One to two shoot days, multiple interviews, B-roll, drone, and a 3–5 minute hero film with three short versions.
Employee interviews across departments, office and facility B-roll, and a campaign of cutdowns for LinkedIn and careers pages.
Typical Des Moines corporate video production projects run three to five weeks: one week of pre-production, one or two shoot days, and two to three weeks of editing and revisions. Rush delivery in five to seven business days is available for executive messages and earnings-season content.
Yes. Our Des Moines crew is experienced with agricultural facility access, biosecurity protocols, and financial-firm security requirements. We carry $2M general liability insurance and provide certificates of insurance, crew lists, and release forms ahead of the shoot.
Every executive shoot includes a teleprompter and an on-set director who coaches delivery. We can write the script from a bullet-point brief or polish one your communications team has drafted.
All of Des Moines plus West Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, Clive, Ankeny, Altoona, and Norwalk — anywhere within 50 miles of Downtown.
You do. Raw footage and project files are available on request, and every deliverable is licensed for unlimited use across your own channels.
That is the default. We plan the shoot so one day yields the hero film, three to five vertical social cutdowns, and an internal version with any external-facing claims removed.
