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. Most Des Moines corporate, insurance, healthcare, and agribusiness videos fall between $6,500 and $20,000. At Tone Films Des Moines, we provide a free, custom quote within 24 hours.

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.

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

Most Des Moines commercial video projects take 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. Typical timeline: one week of pre-production, 1–2 shoot days, and 1–2 weeks of editing and revisions. Rush projects can be completed in 5–7 business days when needed.

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.

Why hire a Des Moines video production company instead of a freelancer?

A production company brings a full crew, redundant gear, $2M+ liability insurance, 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 Principal, Nationwide, John Deere, UnityPoint, or the Iowa State Capitol, 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 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 East Dallas

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 based on Greenville Avenue, serving East Dallas restaurants, music labels, creative founders, and the wider DFW scene. 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 a perfect 5.0 across 76 East Dallas 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 an East Dallas video production company.

How much does video production cost in East Dallas?

East Dallas video production costs typically range from $5,500 for short-form social content to $25,000+ for full commercial productions. Restaurant videos, hospitality brand films, and music videos for Lower Greenville and Knox-Henderson businesses usually fall in the $5,000–$15,000 range. At Tone Films East Dallas, we provide a free, custom estimate within 24 hours.

What East Dallas neighborhoods do you serve?

Tone Films East Dallas serves Lower Greenville, Knox-Henderson, Lakewood, the M Streets, Bishop Arts, Deep Ellum, Trinity Groves, Oak Cliff, the Dallas Design District, Highland Park, and University Park. We’re based on Greenville Avenue and travel anywhere across the DFW Metroplex without travel fees within 50 miles.

Do you produce video for restaurants and hospitality brands in East Dallas?

Yes. East Dallas is one of the strongest restaurant and hospitality markets in Texas, and we’ve produced brand films, social content, and commercials for restaurants and bars across Lower Greenville, Knox-Henderson, and Bishop Arts. Packages include kitchen/bar cinematography, ambient atmosphere footage, chef/staff features, and short-form social cutdowns for Instagram and TikTok.

Do you produce music videos in East Dallas?

Yes. We produce music videos for emerging and established artists across the East Dallas creative scene — Deep Ellum, Lower Greenville, the Dallas Design District. Our team handles location scouting, crew, lighting, multi-camera production, color grading, and final delivery in 4K.

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

Most East Dallas commercial video projects take 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to final delivery: roughly one week of pre-production (concept, script, scheduling), 1–2 shoot days, and 1–2 weeks of editing and revisions. Rush projects can be completed in as little as 5–7 business days when needed.

Do you offer drone videography in East Dallas?

Yes. Tone Films East Dallas provides FAA Part 107 licensed drone videography across East Dallas and the wider DFW Metroplex. We’ve flown aerial cinematography for restaurant exteriors on Greenville Avenue, brand films across Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts, and aerial coverage of M Streets and Lakewood neighborhood storytelling. All flights are insured and shot in 4K.

What types of businesses do you work with in East Dallas?

East Dallas is a different market than the corporate corridor of North Dallas — it skews creative, cultural, and hospitality-forward. We work with restaurants, bars, boutique hotels, design studios, music labels, ad agencies, nonprofits, creative founders, and Deep Ellum-based brands.

Can you film at Lower Greenville venues, restaurants, and events?

Yes — we regularly film at Lower Greenville restaurants, bars, and live music venues. Our crew is small enough to work around dinner service and busy nights, and we handle all permitting, gear, lighting, and audio so the venue can keep operating during the shoot. Multi-cam coverage available for events and live performances.

Why hire an East Dallas video production company over a national agency?

A local East Dallas team knows the Greenville Avenue corridor, knows the Lakewood and Bishop Arts venues, knows the creative community, and can show up on a few hours’ notice. National agencies bill out at 3–5x our rates and don’t have the local relationships. For East Dallas brands, hiring local means faster turnaround, better creative alignment with the East Dallas vibe, and a real team that lives a few blocks from your business.

What kinds of videos do you produce in East Dallas?

We produce restaurant brand films, hospitality commercials, music videos, brand films, product videos, event coverage at Lower Greenville and Deep Ellum venues, recruitment and culture videos, training content, social media content for Instagram and TikTok, drone and aerial videography, and documentary-style storytelling for East Dallas creative founders.

What sets Tone Films apart from other East Dallas 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 local East Dallas restaurants, bars, and creative brands without national-agency overhead; and (3) a perfect 5.0 rating across 76 verified East Dallas Google reviews. We obsess over the finished product and the experience of getting there.
