6Your own office or a rented studio
For interviews, testimonials and training videos, your own space is often the best location. It shows the real company, and you control the light, the sound and the schedule.
Corporate video ideas: Executive interviews, customer testimonials, training and onboarding videos
Filming notes
- Permit
- Filming entirely on private property usually does not need a city permit. You do need the owner’s or building manager’s OK.
- When the city gets involved
- If you use the sidewalk, street parking or meters, block a path, or bring drones, generators or special effects, more permits may apply.
- Tip
- Ask building management about freight elevator times, loading zones and quiet hours before the shoot day.

Do I need a permit at Denver corporate video locations?
Only for some shoots. On public property, Denver requires a Film Operational Permit when you have 25 or more people in a park or 10 or more on a sidewalk, use gear beyond handheld equipment or a single tripod, affect traffic or parking, or need a rule exemption. Filming entirely on private property usually does not need one, but you need the owner’s OK.
Does the Denver film permit cost money?
The city does not charge for the Film Operational Permit. Other city agencies, police staffing and venues can still charge.
How far ahead should we apply?
At least 5 business days for simple shoots and 10 for complex ones. Each location needs its own application. The Denver Art Museum wants 15 business days for corporate shoots.
Can we film a corporate video at Denver Botanic Gardens?
No. The Gardens do not allow commercial photography or video, including promotional content.
