How to hire a cameraman, camera crew or film crew in Fort Lauderdale
Write a short brief. Include the date, call time, address, number of cameras, audio and lighting needs and the deliverables. Mention special gear such as a gimbal, drone or a boat for water shots. If you are shooting near the beach, Las Olas Boulevard or Port Everglades, note load-in and parking plans, and check drone airspace around Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport early. Our production brief guide has a template.
Send it to two or three crews from the lists above. Ask which camera package is included, how overtime and travel are billed, who owns the footage and whether editing is in the price.
Get your permit and insurance in order. Apply through Film Lauderdale’s permit page, which links to its online FilmApp application. County and city offices close on weekends and holidays, and some cities also close Fridays, so apply early in the week. For statewide locations and incentives, see Film in Florida. Read video production insurance before you request the certificate.

Fort Lauderdale camera crew FAQs
Should I book one cameraman or a full camera crew in Fort Lauderdale?
A single cameraman handles interviews, testimonials, short social pieces and simple event coverage. Book a full crew when you need a director of photography, lighting and grip, a sound mixer or several cameras, which is common for commercials, convention coverage and multi-camera sports or stage shows. Canvas Films, Shout Creative, North Beach Media and TBT Productions all list larger productions, so you can start small and scale up.
How much does a camera crew cost in Broward County?
None of the vendors on this page publish rates on their ProductionHelp profiles, so we do not print numbers. Price depends on crew size, hours, the camera and lighting package, travel between Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach, parking and whether editing is included. Send one written brief to two or three crews and compare the quotes line by line.
Do I need a film permit to shoot in Fort Lauderdale or elsewhere in Broward?
Usually, yes. Film Lauderdale, the Broward County film commission, issues permits for all county property and on behalf of most of the county’s 31 municipalities, and many cities also require a permit for filming on private property. Standard requests take at least three business days, and shoots with stunts, road closures or pyrotechnics should allow at least two weeks. Broward charges no permit fees for production, apart from cost recovery for services such as police details, road closures or facility rentals. You will need a certificate of insurance naming Broward County and the city where you shoot, with at least $1,000,000 in general liability coverage.
What parts of South Florida do these crews cover?
Most list Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood or Pembroke Pines as home base. North Beach Media also coordinates crews in Miami, the Palm Beaches, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville. Ray Photography and Video books events across Broward, Miami and Palm Beach, and Open Interpretation says it has teams all over South Florida.
Can I hire a camera operator for a wedding or corporate event?
Yes. Open Interpretation and Ray Photography and Video list weddings and special events. Lensology covers corporate events and also offers livestreams and photo booths. Best Shot Productions shoots photo and HD video, and Visuals by Momo focuses on nonprofit storytelling.
Is there a studio or soundstage I can book nearby?
Canvas Films lists a vehicle-accessible soundstage with a green-screen-capable cyc, plus grip, lighting and a voice-over booth. KeyFootage Studios rents studio space, props and sets, with staff shooters available. TBT Productions runs Global Filmz Studios, which has standing sets including a courtroom and jail cell.
