Corporate Video Production in Fort Lauderdale
Video Department (VIDEO DEPT.) is a video production studio based here in Fort Lauderdale. We come to you: offices, venues and job sites across Broward. We shoot here, we edit here, and most of our long-term clients are here too.
Fort Lauderdale is where we work.
Fort Lauderdale has an interesting mix of industries, and we've shot for most of them. The marine and yachting sector is unusually large here — between the mega-yacht brokerages on Federal Highway, suppliers in the marine corridor around 17th Street Causeway, and everything that converges at FLIBS each fall, there's a lot of serious B2B video work in this city that most studios don't know how to approach. We do. MTN, which provides connectivity for vessels at sea, is one of our long-term clients — that work required understanding technical product positioning and shooting in environments that aren't exactly studio-friendly.
Beyond marine, Fort Lauderdale's commercial base runs through Las Olas Boulevard — law firms, financial advisors, boutique agencies — and into Flagler Village, where a younger crop of tech companies and creative businesses has been building out over the past several years. We've done brand films, training videos, founder interviews, and event coverage for companies in both zones. The work tends to be more corporate than the Miami stuff — polished, precise, built to move through a procurement process rather than stop a social feed.
Hospitality is big here too. Fort Lauderdale's hotel corridor along A1A and its growing convention scene mean there's consistent demand for event recap films, venue showcase videos, and conference coverage. We've covered multi-day events and turned around edit-ready footage before the next morning session.
Because VIDEO DEPT. is based in Fort Lauderdale, logistics are simple. No travel fees, no minimum days, no "we need to plan around our drive." If you call on a Tuesday and need something Thursday, we can usually make it happen. And if your project runs across multiple days or locations — downtown, the Port Everglades area, a client site in Davie or Dania — we know the territory.
What we typically produce here
For Fort Lauderdale clients, the most common projects are: corporate brand films for professional services firms and tech companies, conference video and event coverage at the Convention Center and hotel properties, marine and maritime B2B content, and monthly content plans for companies that want to publish consistently. We also do a fair amount of trade-show work around FLIBS and the other industry events that come through Broward County each year.
If you're in Fort Lauderdale and you've been putting off a brand video because you didn't know where to start or weren't sure it would be worth the spend — that's exactly the conversation we're built for. No pitch deck. Just a direct talk about what you need and whether it makes sense. Still comparing options?

Industries we work with in Fort Lauderdale
Marine and yachting
The marine business runs deep here. Fort Lauderdale is the yachting capital of the United States — most of the largest brokerages, refit yards, charter operators, and marine suppliers in the country have a presence within ten miles of downtown. VIDEO DEPT. shoots for marine brands every year: dealer walkthroughs, captain interviews, refit timelapses, FLIBS booth coverage, dealer training, and product demos on the water. We know what counts as good enough on a moving vessel, what the captains will let us do and what they won't, and which marinas are actually workable for a multi-camera shoot. If you've ever tried to film at Bahia Mar in the middle of show prep, you already know why local experience matters.
Exhibiting at FLIBS this year? The VIDEO DEPT. boat show package covers one day at your booth with interviews, and a 1–2 minute film in horizontal and vertical versions within a week, for $2,500.
Hospitality and event venues
Fort Lauderdale's hotel corridor along A1A and the inland convention scene — including the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center as it finishes its current expansion — keep us busy with venue showcase films, conference recap edits, and gala coverage. Properties like The Diplomat in Hollywood, the Ritz-Carlton, the Hilton Marina, and the Conrad routinely host multi-day events where the client wants edit-ready highlights before the closing keynote. We're set up for that turnaround.
Professional services and finance
Las Olas Boulevard is the corporate spine of Fort Lauderdale. Law firms — boutique and large, defense and plaintiff — financial advisors, accounting firms, family offices, and boutique investment shops sit along it and in the surrounding blocks. Their video needs are quiet but consistent: founder and partner profiles for new-business pitches, recruiting videos, internal training, and event coverage from charity galas and continuing-education events. The work demands a calmer, more conservative aesthetic than what plays well on social, and a producer who understands that the client will run a clip past general counsel before it goes anywhere public.
Tech, startups, and creative
Flagler Village and the FAT Village arts district have been steadily building out a smaller but real tech and creative cluster. Companies in software, fintech, marine tech, and consumer brands are based here, often with national customer bases but Fort Lauderdale founders. We do product launch videos, founder interviews, demo-day recordings, and pitch-deck supporting video for that crowd.
Where we shoot in Fort Lauderdale
Most projects happen at the client's office or a venue, but a fair number need a controlled environment — a clean backdrop, real lighting, a quiet room. We have go-to spots for every kind of shoot: studio rooms we trust, exterior locations along the New River and along A1A that work for B-roll, and quiet streetscape corners in Flagler Village and Victoria Park for founder interviews that feel like they were shot in a real place but aren't covered in tourist traffic. For drone work, we know the airspace restrictions around Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International and Fort Lauderdale Executive and plan around them.
How a Fort Lauderdale project usually runs
Most local projects start with a 30-minute call or the two-minute quote form. From there, VIDEO DEPT. sends a written scope and a fixed quote the same business day. If you sign, we lock dates, build a shot list, and confirm locations. Single-day shoots get a first cut in about two weeks. Multi-day shoots and larger events run on whatever timeline the deliverables demand, but we tell you the schedule upfront and stick to it.
Because we're based here, scheduling is flexible. Tuesday-morning call, Thursday-afternoon shoot is normal. Same-day pickup of a missing shot for a client who's already paid for the project? We can usually do that too. No travel fees within Broward County.
Common questions from Fort Lauderdale clients
Do you have a studio space we can shoot in?
We don't run our own studio. Most corporate projects shoot on location at your office, facility, or event. When a project needs a studio, we book a space in Fort Lauderdale that fits the brief and the budget, and bring our own lighting and grip. For monthly content plans, we'll set up a recurring location that fits your brand.
Can you handle a same-week shoot?
Usually, yes. Single-day shoots that don't require permits or specialty gear we can often turn around in two to three days. Multi-day shoots and shoots that need talent scheduling, permits, or specific locations need more lead time.
Do you do drone work?
Yes. Drone shots are flown by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot, with the airspace around Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International and Fort Lauderdale Executive planned in advance. Coastal and beach exteriors, architectural shots, and event b-roll are the most common drone requests.
