How to hire a film crew in Jacksonville in three steps
Put the shoot on one page. List the date, call time, locations, how many cameras you want, audio and lighting needs and what you need delivered. Jacksonville is spread out, so note whether you are shooting Downtown along the St. Johns River, at the Beaches or down in St. Augustine, since travel time affects the quote. If you want drone shots, ask the crew to check FAA airspace early. Use our video production brief guide as a starting point.
Ask two or three crews to quote it. Choose from the lists above and ask what camera package comes with the day, how overtime and travel are billed, who keeps the footage and whether editing is included.
Line up the permit and insurance. For public property, apply through the FilmJax permits page at least ten business days out, and get your insurance certificate written with the City’s required wording. FilmJax also runs a local production guide and location search. For statewide information, visit Film in Florida, and read our video production insurance guide before you call your broker.

Jacksonville camera crew FAQs
How much does it cost to hire a camera crew in Jacksonville?
We can’t give you a number from this page, because none of these Jacksonville vendors post prices on ProductionHelp. Quotes usually move with the number of crew members, the length of the day, the camera, lighting and audio package, drive time between Downtown, the Beaches and St. Augustine, and whether editing is included. Write one brief, send it to two or three crews, and compare what each quote covers.
Do I need a film permit to shoot in Jacksonville?
Yes, if you film on public property. The City of Jacksonville’s Film and Television Office (FilmJax) issues the permit for free, but the application must arrive at least ten business days before the shoot. Productions on public property need at least $1 million in liability insurance and $100,000 in workers’ compensation, with a certificate of insurance naming the City on file. Companies with fewer than four employees can send a signed workers’ comp exemption letter instead. Any shoot that interrupts traffic also needs a road closure permit, and the office advises notifying neighborhood associations before filming in residential areas.
Is a single cameraman enough, or do I need a full film crew?
One cameraman, or camera operator, is usually enough for interviews, testimonials, seminars and short social clips. A film crew adds people such as a director of photography, a sound mixer, a gaffer and a producer, which commercials, documentaries and multi-camera events tend to need. Spectrum Films, Crop Creative Media, Flying Ostrich Media and Kennetic Productions list full production or documentary services, while Mitch Kaufman Atlantic Video and Ketterman Photography suit smaller shoots.
Who shoots wedding videos in Jacksonville and St. Augustine?
Lee Photo + Video, Two Fly Guys Media, Ricker Films, Joseph Hardin and Austin Brothers all list Jacksonville wedding work. Wayfarer Film Co. is based in St. Augustine and covers Jacksonville, and Legacy Movies offers wedding photo and video work alongside corporate video.
Can I hire drone or aerial video in Jacksonville?
Yes. Taylorvisions is built around FAA Part 107 certified drone pilots and lists thermal and LiDAR imaging. Ketterman Photography is run by an FAA-licensed drone pilot, and Spectrum Films and Flying Ostrich Media also list aerial or drone work.
Where can I rent a studio or cyc wall in Jacksonville?
WJCT Studios rents Studio A, which has a 125-foot three-wall cyc, dressing rooms and vehicle access downtown. Crop Creative Media lists an on-site production studio, and Mitch Kaufman Atlantic Video has run a studio on Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville Beach since 1992.
