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 Downtown Austin, serving Tesla GigaTexas, Apple Austin, Dell, AMD, the Texas Capitol and state agencies, breweries, BBQ joints, hospitality groups, and the creative founders shaping the Live Music Capital. 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 84 Austin 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 Austin video production company.

How much does video production cost in Austin?
Austin video production costs typically range from $7,500 for short-form social content to $50,000+ for full commercial productions. Austin crew rates are competitive with major markets due to the Silicon Hills tech demand and SXSW production load — most corporate, tech, and brand videos for Austin clients fall between $10,000 and $30,000. At Tone Films Austin, we provide a free, custom quote within 24 hours and price transparently.
What Austin neighborhoods do you serve?
Tone Films Austin serves all of Greater Austin — Downtown, East Austin, South Congress, Rainey Street, The Domain, Mueller, Zilker, Barton Springs, South Lamar, Westlake Hills, UT campus — plus suburbs (Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Leander) and the Hill Country (Lakeway, Dripping Springs, Bee Cave). No travel fees within 50 miles of Downtown Austin.
What types of businesses do you work with in Austin?
Austin's industry mix is uniquely powerful. We work with Silicon Hills tech (Tesla GigaTexas, Apple Austin, Dell, AMD, IBM, Indeed, Meta, Google), Texas state agencies and Capitol-area organizations, healthcare (Dell Medical, Ascension Seton, St. David's), hospitality and food groups (Rainey, East Austin, South Congress), breweries and BBQ pitmasters, Austin FC and UT athletics, the Austin Film Society community, and the creative founders shaping the Live Music Capital.
Can you produce video for tech companies and state agencies?
Yes. Silicon Hills tech and Texas state agencies are anchor verticals for us. We produce product launches, founder stories, customer testimonials, executive interviews, B2B explainers, agency briefings, recruitment films, training video, and advocacy campaigns. Our crew is comfortable on tech campuses, agency offices, and Capitol-adjacent productions.
Do you offer drone videography in Austin?
Yes — in legal flight zones. We're FAA Part 107 licensed and authorized to fly across most of Central Texas. Areas near Austin-Bergstrom (AUS), Camp Mabry, and downtown require LAANC airspace authorization, which we handle in advance. We also fly Lake Travis, Hamilton Pool, Hill Country, the Greenbelt, and Circuit of The Americas with proper permits for real estate, lifestyle, and event b-roll.
How long does it take to produce a commercial video in Austin?
Most Austin 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 tech product launches and SXSW reactive content for Austin clients.
Can you handle Austin film permits and SXSW logistics?
Yes — we work with the Austin Film Office and the Texas Film Commission for permits across streets, parks, Lady Bird Lake, public buildings, and the State Capitol grounds. We also know the venue managers across Rainey, East Austin, South Congress, the Domain, ACL Live, the Moody Center, Stubb's, and Circuit of The Americas, and can secure private location releases quickly. We can also help productions qualify for the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP) rebate.
Why hire an Austin video production company over a national agency?
A local Austin team knows the tech campuses, knows the Capitol grounds, knows the venues, 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 Austin brands, hiring local means faster turnaround, better creative alignment with the Austin vibe, and a real team that lives a few miles from your business.
What kinds of videos do you produce in Austin?
We produce tech product launches, founder stories, executive interviews, brand films, state agency recruitment films, advocacy campaigns, healthcare patient stories, BBQ pitmaster and brewery cinema, hospitality reels, Austin FC team content, event coverage at ACL Live and Circuit of The Americas, social media content for Instagram and TikTok, drone and aerial videography, and documentary-style storytelling for Austin creative founders.
What sets Tone Films apart from other Austin 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 Austin tech, state agencies, healthcare, hospitality, and creative brands without national-agency overhead; and (3) a perfect 5.0 rating across 84 verified Austin Google reviews. We obsess over the finished product and the experience of getting there.
