Your next video project should be an accurate representation of who you are as an organization, but it should also help advance your goals as a fully-integrated part of your marketing and media strategy. Videos have become an increasingly important marketing tool in 2022 and beyond, and the numbers back it up. Watching product videos increases a consumers’ likelihood of buying a product by 85%, CTAs get 380% more clicks in a video, and video content can lead to a 157% growth in website traffic. That’s why it’s so important to work with video production companies in Philadelphia that can help elevate your company brand.
It’s apparent that videos have become a popular and effective marketing strategy, but where should you shoot your next video? Philadelphia is the right choice.
Why Film in Philadelphia?
As shared by Temple University, Philadelphia has ranked among the top cities for independent filmmakers— surpassing even Los Angeles! It’s why many students pursuing film, video, and media production choose to come to Philadelphia to work on their craft. Several reasons make Philadelphia an inviting city for filmmakers. Here are a few.
Tax Incentives -The city of Philadelphia and the state of Pennsylvania both offer incentives to film in the area. Filmmakers can receive up to 25 to 30% tax credit from the state for film productions that spend 60% of their production cost within Pennsylvania. Plus, there is potential for other incentives like no fees for certain locations, assistance with police, and security. Because of this, a range of movies (including the iconic 1976 film Rocky, Signs, Silver Linings Playbook, and National Treasure), TV shows, commercials, and more are filmed locally here in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.
A robust filmmaking community. The Greater Philadelphia Film Office is very supportive of filmmakers, assisting with things like permits and coordination, and providing an overall welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the city offers plenty of studio space. There is an abundance of television stations, sound stages, recording studios, and available locations in the area to film.
Benefits of Working with Video Production Companies in Philadelphia
Interesting locations. Philadelphia is known for its historical charm yet modern vibe. It’s currently a thriving cultural haven for all kinds of arts, including music, dance, theatre, fine arts, and media. It’s the perfect location for dynamic scenery. What’s more, is that many places are willingly eager to share their spaces once they know it’s possible to be featured in a video’s production.
Range of scenery. While Philadelphia offers countless film-ready sites with a more modern, urban feel, you don’t have to travel far for a more bucolic vibe. Just outside of the city, in Bucks County, you’ll find sprawling country vistas. Also, Philadelphia’s central proximity to both New York and Washington D.C. make it an ideal location for organizations that operate in either of those major metropolitan areas.
Seasonal changes. The weather in Philadelphia changes with each season. The backdrop in autumn is of vibrantly colored leaves, you’ll often find snow in the winter, and the city becomes hot and active in the spring and summer. Since it’s further from the Atlantic Coast compared to New York, it’s usually less rainy (with a bit less snow in the winter) and a bit warmer in the summer. These conditions provide better weather for shooting outdoor footage, making Philadelphia a more advantageous city to film than other East Coast cities.
