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 in the Empire State Building, serving NYC Wall Street, Madison Avenue, SoHo fashion, Broadway, Silicon Alley, and Brooklyn creative brands. 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 114 NYC 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 NYC video production company.

How much does video production cost in NYC?
NYC video production costs typically range from $7,500 for short-form social content to $50,000+ for full commercial productions. Manhattan rates are higher than other markets due to crew rates, permits, and location costs — most corporate videos for NYC brands fall between $10,000 and $30,000. At Tone Films NYC, we provide a free, custom quote within 24 hours and price transparently.
What NYC neighborhoods and boroughs do you serve?
Tone Films NYC serves all of Manhattan — Midtown, Financial District, Wall Street, SoHo, Tribeca, Chelsea, Meatpacking, Greenwich Village, Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem — plus Brooklyn (DUMBO, Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Bushwick), Queens (Long Island City, Astoria), the Bronx, and Staten Island. We also travel for tri-state shoots (NJ, CT, Long Island).
What types of businesses do you work with in NYC?
NYC’s industry mix is uniquely powerful. We work with Wall Street financial firms and hedge funds, Madison Avenue advertising agencies, SoHo fashion brands, Broadway producers, Silicon Alley tech founders, Manhattan corporate communications teams, Brooklyn creative studios, restaurant groups, art galleries, real estate developers, healthcare systems, and emerging brands across all 5 boroughs.
Can you handle NYC film permits and location logistics?
Yes — we’re registered with the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) and handle all permitting for shoots on streets, sidewalks, parks, public transit, and city buildings. We also know the venue managers across Midtown, the Garment District, Times Square, Wall Street, and Brooklyn, and can secure private location releases quickly.
How long does it take to produce a commercial video in NYC?
Most NYC commercial video projects take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to final delivery, slightly longer than other markets due to permit timing, talent unions, and location coordination. 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 7–10 business days when needed.
Do you offer drone videography in NYC?
Yes — in legal flight zones. NYC airspace is heavily restricted (most of Manhattan is no-fly), but we’re FAA Part 107 licensed and authorized to fly in approved zones including parts of Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and select waterfront areas with proper FAA waivers. For Manhattan exterior shots we use rooftop, helicopter, and approved ground angles.
Can you film for fashion brands and NY Fashion Week?
Yes. SoHo and the Meatpacking District are core markets for us. We produce fashion films, lookbooks, runway coverage, behind-the-scenes documentaries, and brand campaigns for emerging and established fashion brands. We’ve covered NY Fashion Week events at venues including Spring Studios, Pier 59, and Skylight Modern.
Why hire an NYC video production company instead of a freelancer?
A production company brings a full crew, redundant gear, $2M insurance (required by most NYC venues), 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 Wall Street firms, Madison Avenue agencies, or Manhattan fashion brands, that translates to fewer reshoots and finished video that holds up at national-tier level. Tone Films NYC operates as a full team while staying responsive.
How do I choose the best video production company in NYC?
Look at four things: (1) a portfolio that matches the style you want, (2) verified Google reviews from real local clients (we have 114), (3) a clear, written proposal with deliverables, timelines, and itemized costs (NYC pricing is opaque elsewhere), and (4) a team you actually enjoy talking to — you’ll spend hours together on set. Tone Films NYC has 114 five-star Google reviews and a full Manhattan-and-Brooklyn portfolio you can review before signing anything.
What kinds of videos do you produce in NYC?
We produce corporate commercials, executive interviews, brand films, fashion films and lookbooks, product videos, event coverage at venues like Madison Square Garden and Spring Studios, recruitment films, financial services video, B2B explainers, social content for Instagram and TikTok, and documentary-style storytelling for NYC creative founders.
What sets Tone Films apart from other NYC 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 NYC clients without national-agency overhead; and (3) a perfect 5.0 rating across 114 verified NYC Google reviews. We obsess over the finished product and the experience of getting there.
