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.

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 Franklin

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 on Creekstone Boulevard in Franklin, serving HCA Healthcare and the Cool Springs corporate corridor (Mars Petcare, Cracker Barrel, Nissan North America), Williamson Medical Center, Williamson County Schools, Historic Downtown Franklin small businesses, luxury communities in Westhaven and Berry Farms, wedding venues, and the family businesses shaping the wealthiest county in Tennessee. 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 5.0 across our Franklin reviews, and it’s why every project we deliver looks like our best one yet.

— Andrei Tone, Owner & Production Director
