What we film
One week, the whole art world in Miami. Video keeps it working after the fairs close.
Your artists, collectors, press and partners are all in one city for a few days. VIDEO DEPT. turns that week into films and clips you can post during the fair and use for the rest of the year.
Gallery booths
A walk through the booth, the works up close, and the room on opening day, cut into a recap and short clips.
Artist and gallerist interviews
Short, captioned interviews for Instagram, your newsletter and your website, filmed at the booth or nearby.
Brand activations, dinners and parties
Installations, launches, panels and parties: a recap film and clips your team can post the next morning.
Local crew for your agency
Your shot list and brand guidelines, NDAs signed, and the raw files to your editors the same night.

Common questions
How much does it cost to film a gallery booth at Art Basel Miami Beach?
At Video Department (VIDEO DEPT.), a booth day at any Miami Art Week fair is $3,000, fixed: one fair day of up to 8 hours, a 1–2 minute recap film in horizontal and vertical versions, 5 captioned interview reels and all the raw footage, delivered within a week. If you have your own editor, a filming-only camera day is $1,500, with the raw files sent the same night. Brand events are quoted per event, with a fixed quote the same business day.
Can you film inside the fairs, like Art Basel at the Miami Beach Convention Center?
Yes, as part of your booth team. You add us to your exhibitor passes, and because each fair sets its own rules for photo and video, we confirm them with you and the fair before the day. If the fair or venue needs a certificate of insurance (COI), we send it in advance.
Do you film brand activations, dinners and parties during Miami Art Week?
Yes. Installations, launches, panels, dinners and parties across Miami Beach, Wynwood and the Design District: a recap film, short captioned clips, and interviews with artists, hosts and guests. First clips within 48 hours, the rest within a week.
We're an agency from out of town. Can you be our local crew?
Yes. VIDEO DEPT. is based in Fort Lauderdale and works in Miami every week, so there's no crew to fly in and travel within Miami-Dade is included. We work from your shot list and brand guidelines, sign NDAs, and can hand the raw files to your editors the same night.
Can you interview artists and collectors who don't speak English?
Interviews can be in English or Russian. For other languages, bring an interpreter and we'll caption the clips in English.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry general liability insurance and send a certificate of insurance (COI) to the fair, venue or agency before the day.
Who owns the footage?
You do. You own the final videos, and all the raw footage from the day is yours to keep.
