We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Chicago and Omaha.

Producer’s Note:
Navigating the dense Fortune 500 headquarters downtown often requires our local crews to utilize the enclosed Skyway system to transport gear during the extreme Twin Cities winters. When covering massive industry summits at the Minneapolis Convention Center, we utilize advanced directional microphones to perfectly capture your keynotes amidst the echoing halls.
Filming in Minneapolis
What to know before you shoot in Minneapolis
Permits depend on what you are standing on
Minneapolis has no single film permit. The city's own guide sorts permission by location, and it is short enough to check in a minute.
- Streets, sidewalks and alleys: an obstruction permit, with no fee for a one-day permit.
- Parks, lakes and riverfront: a permit from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, whose fees vary.
- City Hall interiors: a signed agreement with the Municipal Building Commission.
Practical planning
The city page gives no standard lead time, so ask each office when you apply, and call 311 or 612-673-3000 if you are unsure which one you need. Allow more time than you think if your shot list includes both a street and a park, because they go through different bodies.
Riverfront shots are a particular trap. Places many visitors assume are simply city land can fall under the Park Board, and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area also runs through downtown, adding federal land to the map.
Drones
Drone rules centre on the Park Board. A published drone-law guide reports that drones cannot take off from, land on or operate over Park Board property without an approved permit, and that the permit must be on site and insurance is part of the application. It lists Minnehaha Falls, the Chain of Lakes, Boom Island, the Stone Arch Bridge approaches and the river parkways as Park Board locations. Treat this as a starting point and confirm with Park Board customer service on 612-230-6400.
The same guide warns that some launch spots may be National Park Service land where drones are prohibited, and notes a separate city council file on takeoffs and landings during special events. FAA Part 107 applies on top, including air traffic control permission in controlled airspace near the airport.
Venues and recurring shows
The Minneapolis Convention Center is the main downtown venue, and its busy winter calendar leans towards consumer shows and sporting events. Its December 2025 announcement described more than 20 major events in the following months, so check for overlapping load-ins if you are filming a meeting in the same building.
For B2B work, Digital Summit Minneapolis ran there on 12-13 August 2026 for digital marketing leaders. Look to the organiser's site for the next edition, and ask for media rules early. Corporate and association meetings at the centre vary widely, so confirm the room, access times and any filming limits with the organiser directly.
Rules change, so confirm them before you shoot. Sources:

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.
- 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 → - 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 → - 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.
Try the review tool →
All three come with every shoot. There is nothing to set up and nothing extra to pay.
