How to hire a cameraman, camera crew or film crew in Fort Worth
Put the shoot on one page. List the date, call time, each location, how many cameras you need, audio and lighting, and the deliverables. Flag special locations early: Sundance Square, the Stockyards National Historic District, West 7th, Panther Island, Clearfork, TCU and DFW Airport all have their own requirements on top of the City’s. Start from our video production brief template.
Collect two or three quotes. Send that brief to crews from the lists above and ask what gear is included, how overtime and travel are billed, who keeps the raw footage and whether editing is part of the price.
Clear the location and insurance. Talk to Film Fort Worth before you apply. Send its application at least two business days out for a commercial or documentary, and allow 72 hours for a City permit if you will close part of a street or sidewalk. Plan on a certificate of insurance with at least $1,000,000 in general liability. For state incentives, see the Texas Film Commission, and read our guide to video production insurance.

Fort Worth camera crew and film crew FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a camera crew in Fort Worth?
None of the Fort Worth vendors on this page publishes a day rate, so a quote is the only number you can trust. Send one brief to two or three crews and compare what each includes: camera package, audio, lighting, travel, editing and overtime. Our guide to what a camera operator costs explains how most quotes are built.
Do I need a film permit to shoot in Fort Worth?
Contact the Fort Worth Film Commission first. Its filming guidelines ask for the commission application at least two business days ahead for commercials, documentaries and episodic TV, and five for features, with no application fee. Closing a street or sidewalk takes a separate City permit, filed 72 hours ahead for closures under three days, at $250 plus a $700 deposit, and a certificate of insurance with $1,000,000 general liability.
Can I fly a drone at the Fort Worth Stockyards?
Only with care. Film Fort Worth says drone operators must be FAA certified, the Stockyards have restrictions because of nearby airports, and drones are not allowed during the twice-daily cattle drive without prior approval.
