We worked with Jemma to capture content for a number of events in Los Angeles surrounding a new product launch. Our crew member Angelou and his assistant covered all events, capturing compelling video and epic photos to ensure the impact of the campaign lasts long past the end of the event. The result? Epic content for an epic business.

Where We Film in Los Angeles

Filming in Los Angeles

Our LA-based video crew serves the entire metro area, from the studios in Hollywood to the business hubs in DTLA and events at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Because our team is local, we handle all FilmLA permits and logistics for you, saving you the cost of flying in a crew. We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Long Beach and San Diego.

Venues We Film At in Los Angeles

We film at LA's most dynamic event venues, from the sprawling Los Angeles Convention Center to iconic historic ballrooms and luxury hotels. Our Los Angeles crews specialize in high-profile product launches, entertainment industry events, and major conferences with creative production values.

  • Los Angeles Convention Center

    Downtown Los Angeles convention centre with 720,000 sq ft of exhibit space across its halls, including the South and West Halls.

Producer’s Note:

Operating across the sprawling LA basin—from Silicon Beach tech campuses to downtown financial high-rises—requires deep expertise in navigating strict FilmLA permitting and union regulations. Our crews always pack comprehensive lighting control kits to seamlessly manage the intense Pacific sunlight during outdoor corporate shoots.

Filming in Los Angeles

What to know before you shoot in Los Angeles

Filming permits and public-space rules

The main thing to understand about Los Angeles is that it is not one place for permit purposes. FilmLA handles permits across Greater Los Angeles, but the requirements are set by each jurisdiction it serves, and processing times, deadlines, fees and neighbourhood conditions all vary. A shoot that crosses a city line can change the paperwork even when it feels like the same neighbourhood.

FilmLA says that, generally speaking, non-commercial filming for personal use does not require a film permit. Business event content is not personal use, so do not rely on that line. Ask FilmLA about your specific locations, and do it before you sign a location agreement or make promises to a venue. That is the order FilmLA itself recommends, because the minimum processing time has to be met first.

Two paperwork points catch small crews out. FilmLA needs proof of liability insurance before it can release a permit, and it suggests speaking to its insurance specialist before you buy a policy. Workers' compensation is also required under California law, and FilmLA says it cannot waive this, even for a single employee or for 1099 workers.

Interiors and private property have their own permission from the owner, so an event inside a hotel ballroom is mainly a conversation with the hotel and the organiser. It is the arrivals shot on the pavement, the street interview and the rooftop drone that bring public agencies into it.

Drone rules

FilmLA treats commercial drone use as a permitted filming activity, and that includes scouts, camera tests and b-roll. A quick aerial grabbed during a recce is still drone use.

Stadiums are the restriction specific to this region. Aerial activity is prohibited within three miles of Dodger Stadium, the LA Coliseum, SoFi Stadium and the Rose Bowl during MLB, NFL and NCAA games, from one hour before the scheduled start until one hour after the actual end. Other temporary restrictions can arise from dignitary visits, civil unrest or brush fires, and FilmLA says it will contact affected productions.

Fire or police personnel may also be required, depending on the jurisdiction and activity, and FilmLA charges an administrative fee for each location where a drone is permitted. FilmLA also notes that non-commercial photography, with real estate and special events given as examples, does not become permit-eligible just by using a drone, so raise event aerials with them early.

  • Drone paperwork must reach FilmLA by noon on the date the permit application is due. Incomplete paperwork is rejected and the drone comes off the permit.
  • The package includes a questionnaire, the pilot's licence and knowledge test, commercial registration, a written plan of activity with maps and any airspace authorisations.
  • Insurance means a $2 million aviation certificate naming FilmLA and its entities, and a $2 million certificate naming the jurisdiction.
  • In the City of Los Angeles, both the production company and the drone company sign a Hold Harmless.
  • Night flying needs anti-collision lighting visible for at least three statute miles.

The business event calendar and districts

Business events here split between downtown and the Westside, and a crew's day looks quite different in each.

Downtown is built around the Los Angeles Convention Center, which hosts OFC, the optical networking and communications conference. In 2027 its technical conference runs 7 to 11 March, with the exhibition on 9 to 11 March.

The Westside is a hotel world. The Milken Institute Global Conference has long used The Beverly Hilton, and its 2026 edition ran at The Beverly Hilton and the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. The 2027 conference is set for 2 to 5 May, with details still to come at the time of writing. If your speaker or client is there, plan around hotel access and the organiser's media rules rather than a show floor.

Check who issues permits before filming outside either type of venue, since the location decides the authority.

Practical logistics

The Convention Center is one of the easier venues in the region to reach without a car. Pico Station on the A and E Lines is about an eight-minute walk, and 7th St/Metro Center is about 10 to 15 minutes. There are three garages: West Hall, South Hall and Venice. Pick the one nearest your hall before the day, not on arrival.

Road works matter at the moment. The venue says Pico Boulevard between Figueroa Street and LA Live Way is closed around the clock through 31 March 2028, and it lists further lane reductions on Figueroa and Washington. Check its traffic alerts on the morning of a shoot and build in a margin, particularly with equipment to unload.

Treat the exhibitor manual for your show as the authority. Ask the organiser or official contractor who may operate cameras and bring in kit, and ask this before you confirm the crew.

Permit rules, restrictions and road closures all change, so confirm them with FilmLA, the FAA and the venue before a shoot.

Three tools your last videographer didn't have.

Most crews hand over a drive and a link. Every Fame Crew shoot runs on our own software, so you can see what is happening before the shoot, find any clip after it, and approve edits without a single email thread.

  1. 01

    Footage Log

    Every clip from the shoot, organised and labelled, with the whole log searchable - and every clip transcribed, so you can find the moment someone said the thing by typing what they said. No scrubbing through hours of rushes.

    Open a sample footage log →
  2. 02

    Shoot Status

    One page per shoot showing exactly where things stand: crew confirmed, brief signed off, kit list, call time, payment status. You never have to email to ask what is happening.

    See a live example →
  3. 03

    Asset Review Tool

    Review every edit in the browser and leave comments pinned to the exact second. No download, no version confusion, no thread of timecodes pasted into email.

All three come with every shoot. There is nothing to set up and nothing extra to pay.
