Video Production Companies in Salt Lake City: 11 Local Crews for Small and Mid-Size Businesses

These are video production companies with an office in Salt Lake County, checked against each company's own website and its Clutch listing on October 29, 2026. They range from a Millcreek shop that films legal depositions to Salt Lake City studios that shoot national commercials. Nobody paid to be on this list.

By the The Salt Lake Valley team ยท Updated October 29, 2026

Quick answer

For a small or mid-size Salt Lake County business, start with Digital Byte or BW Productions for training videos, testimonials and live event coverage, and Avalanche Studios in Sandy for a TV or web commercial. Beehive Video Productions in Millcreek handles depositions and training videos, Madeby makes animated explainers, and Grit Visual and Traverse Media fit outdoor, fitness and nonprofit stories. Camp4 Collective, Variant Cinema and Riot are built for bigger brand campaigns.

  • All 11 companies list a Salt Lake County office or home base on their own website.
  • Each one also appears in Clutch's Salt Lake City video production directory, checked on October 29, 2026.
  • National firms with a Salt Lake City landing page and Utah County studios in Lehi, Provo and American Fork were left off.
  • None of the 11 publish a price list on their homepage, so plan on asking for a written quote.

Digital Byte

Salt Lake City
Best for: Training videos, nonprofit videos and live streamed events

Digital Byte works out of a suite at 5882 South 900 East, a Salt Lake City mailing address that Clutch files under Murray. Its homepage covers the videos most local businesses actually need: sales and training videos, award presentations for a company banquet, TV and social spots, and multi-camera coverage of a live event with a live stream. It also writes the script and handles editing, motion graphics and audio. The clients on its site include Girls on the Run Utah and Habitat for Humanity of Summit and Wasatch Counties, so it is used to nonprofit budgets. A good first call if you need a fundraiser gala filmed and streamed.

Services: Corporate and training video, Nonprofit video, Commercials, Live event production and streaming, Scriptwriting, Editing and motion graphics

BW Productions

Salt Lake City
Best for: Businesses that want video and photography from the same crew

BW Productions is at 375 West 400 North, just north of downtown. It shoots interview videos, commercials, event recaps and corporate videos, and it also does event photos, headshots and product photos, which saves you hiring a second vendor for the same day. A sister company, BW Events, runs stage AV and live streams, and another, Cinema Forte, makes cinematic commercials. The testimonials on its site come from theater companies, a university policy institute and software firms that needed user conference recordings and training videos. Pick it if you want one crew at your conference shooting the keynote, the recap video and the headshots.

Services: Interview and testimonial video, Commercials, Event recap video, Corporate video, Event, headshot and product photography, Crew and equipment rental

Avalanche Studios

Sandy
Best for: A TV or web commercial, or drone footage, for a south valley business

Avalanche Studios lists its office at 8653 South Sandy Parkway in Sandy. Its menu is commercials, documentaries, branded content, motion graphics, event video, aerial footage, post-production and music videos. The work on its homepage includes projects for UDOT, the Salt Lake Chamber and Salt Lake City International Airport. For a dealership, credit union or clinic in Sandy, Draper or South Jordan that wants a 30-second spot plus aerial shots of the building, this is a good fit.

Services: Commercials, Documentaries, Branded content, Aerial video, Motion graphics, Post-production

Beehive Video Productions

Millcreek
Best for: Law firms that need deposition video, and plain training videos

Beehive Video sits at 740 East 3900 South in Millcreek, and its menu is plainer than anyone else's here. It films legal depositions, training videos and personal or corporate video histories, and it converts old videotape, audio tape and film to digital files. It also shoots weddings. The training example on its site is a hotel front desk video, which is the kind of thing a business needs filmed once and shown to every new hire. If you run a law office downtown or need an onboarding video for a franchise, call here before you pay a commercial studio.

Services: Legal video and depositions, Training and corporate video, Video histories, Tape and film transfer, Wedding video

Lone Peak Productions

Salt Lake City
Best for: Government agencies, schools and real estate

Lone Peak Productions is a Salt Lake City video and photography studio. Its work is sorted into brand films, animation, commercials, social clips, interviews, product videos, real estate, live edits, documentaries and government work. The clients on its homepage include the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Clark Planetarium and Explore Tooele County. That mix makes it a sensible call for a city department, a museum or a school that needs several kinds of video from one vendor, and for a brokerage that wants listing videos shot well. The site lists no street address, so ask where you would meet.

Services: Brand films, Animation, Commercials, Real estate video, Documentary, Photography
6

Madeby

Salt Lake City
Best for: Animated explainer videos and motion graphics

Madeby is an animation studio with its home base in Salt Lake City. Its site also lists Brisbane and New York. Its line is "If it moves on a screen, we do it," and the work covers website promos, animated logos, social ads, explainer videos and animation driven by live data. Clients on its site run from Select Health and Utah Tourism to national brands. Animation makes sense when the thing you sell is hard to film, like software, an insurance plan or a medical procedure. If you need a 60-second explainer for your homepage, start here rather than with a camera crew.

Services: Explainer videos, Motion graphics, Animated social ads, Motion branding, Website promos
7

Grit Visual

Salt Lake City
Best for: Outdoor brands and nonprofits that need a short documentary

Grit Visual calls itself a full-service video production company based in Salt Lake City with an address at 569 West 600 South. Its featured work is mostly documentaries, including nonprofit documentaries, plus product launches and brand stories. The projects on its homepage include Ski Utah, Westminster University and the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute. If you run a gear shop, a ski brand or a nonprofit with a story about the people you help, Grit shoots the kind of film you would play at a donor dinner or put at the top of your website.

Services: Documentaries, Nonprofit films, Brand stories, Product launch video
8

Traverse Media

Salt Lake City
Best for: Gyms, fitness studios and event promoters

Traverse Media lists an address at 2225 South 500 East in Sugar House. Its site says it specializes in health and fitness, outdoor and adventure, and product and event promotion, and the portfolio includes a New Year's promo for a gym and a spec commercial. A Sugar House yoga studio, a CrossFit gym in South Salt Lake or a race organizer who needs a hype video for registration season will get a crew that already knows how to film people moving. Clutch still lists an older South Salt Lake address, so confirm where you would meet.

Services: Fitness video, Outdoor and adventure video, Product video, Event promotion video
9

Variant Cinema Co.

Salt Lake City
Best for: Agencies and brands that want a cinematic commercial

Variant Cinema works out of 630 Stringfellow Court in Salt Lake City. It says it specializes in cinematic commercials and content and works with agencies and businesses, taking a project from the first idea through post-production. The portfolio is commercials, short films and reels rather than training or event video. This is the shop to call when you already have a marketing agency, or a clear idea, and you want the spot to look like a film. A business that just needs a testimonial filmed will be better served by Digital Byte or BW Productions.

Services: Commercials, Branded content, Development, Production, Post-production
10

Camp4 Collective

Salt Lake City
Best for: Established brands planning a full campaign

Camp4 Collective describes itself as a creative content studio and media production company, with an office at 32 West 200 South downtown. Its work is grouped into branding, commercials, campaigns and films, and the projects on its homepage include Porsche, Brooks Running, Ford Bronco with Filson, and the Moab Office of Tourism. A Utah company with a real campaign budget, like a tourism board or an outdoor brand launching a product line, is who Camp4 fits. A single restaurant is not.

Services: Commercials, Brand campaigns, Branded films, Branding
11

Riot

Salt Lake City
Best for: Automotive, firearms and outdoor gear brands

Riot has its Salt Lake City office at 1387 South Redwood Road, with a second office in Philadelphia. It does branding and packaging as well as film, photography and content, and a separate unit, Riot MOTION, runs camera cars and stabilized rigs for filming vehicles at speed. The portfolio leans hard toward firearms and tactical brands like Barrett and SilencerCo, and automotive work for GMC and AutoZone. If you build trucks, sell aftermarket parts or make gear, Riot already knows how to shoot your product. Most other businesses will find a better match higher on this list.

Services: Brand films, Commercial photography, Camera car and vehicle filming, Branding, Packaging design

How we picked these Salt Lake City video companies

Search for video production in Salt Lake City and most of the first page is national companies with a landing page for every city in the country, plus directories. Those companies can send a crew here, but they do not have an office here. We left them off, along with studios in Lehi, Provo and American Fork, because this list is for owners who want a crew they can meet in Salt Lake City, Murray or Sandy.

Each company had to name a Salt Lake County office or home base on its own website, and it had to appear in Clutch's directory of Salt Lake City video production companies. Each site had to load on October 29, 2026. We dropped a few we liked because the website gave no location at all, or because two directories gave two different addresses. The services and example clients in each entry come from that company's own homepage. We did not copy star ratings, review counts, awards or prices from anywhere.

The order is about fit for a local business with one to a few hundred employees. The companies near the top shoot the videos most owners need: a training video, a customer testimonial, a 30-second spot, a live stream of an event. The ones near the bottom are excellent at national brand work, and their budgets usually match.

What kind of video does your business actually need?

Most requests fall into four groups, and each one points to a different kind of shop. A training or onboarding video is filmed once and watched by every new hire, so it needs clear audio and a simple shoot, not a cinematographer. Digital Byte, BW Productions and Beehive Video all do this work.

A testimonial or interview video is one or two customers sitting in front of a camera talking about what you did for them. It needs one short shoot, and the finished clip works on your homepage, your Google Business Profile and in Facebook ads. Any of the first five companies above can shoot it in a morning.

A commercial is a scripted 15 to 60 second spot for TV, YouTube or social ads, and it costs more because it needs a script, actors or customers, locations and editing. Avalanche Studios and Variant Cinema are built for this. If what you sell is software or a service people cannot see, an animated explainer from a studio like Madeby is often easier than filming.

Event video is the fourth group: covering a conference, a gala or a grand opening, sometimes with a live stream. Ask whether the company brings its own sound and streaming gear, and who edits the recap afterward.

Questions to ask before you book a shoot

  • What is in the quote? Ask for the number of shoot hours, crew size, edits and revision rounds in writing. A half day and a full day are usually priced very differently.
  • Who writes the script? Some companies write it and some expect you to bring one. Know which before you compare prices.
  • Do I own the footage? Ask for the raw files as well as the finished video, so you can cut new ads from the same shoot later.
  • What formats will I get? One shoot can give you a 60-second website video, a 15-second vertical cut for Instagram and TikTok, and still frames. Ask for all of them up front.
  • Is music licensed? The song in your video needs a license that covers ads, or your Facebook or YouTube ad can be muted or pulled.
  • Who needs to be on set? Plan which employees or customers appear, and get signed releases from each one.

What video production costs in Salt Lake City

None of the 11 companies on this list publish a price list on their homepage, and the price sheets that rank on Google come from national firms. So the honest answer is that you will price your video by quote. What moves the number most is the number of shoot days, how many people are on the crew, whether actors are paid, and how many finished cuts you need.

To compare quotes fairly, send three companies the same one-page brief: what the video is for, where it will run, how long it should be, where you would film, and your deadline. Ask each one to break the quote into pre-production, shoot days and editing. If one quote is half the others, check whether it leaves out the script or the edits.

If your budget is small, shoot one longer customer interview and ask the editor to cut it into several short clips. You can also learn to cut your own vertical clips for social media. Our free AI 101 class for local business owners covers writing scripts and captions with AI tools.

Video production company or marketing agency?

A video production company makes the video. It usually does not plan where the video runs or manage the ad budget behind it. A marketing agency does that work and may hire a production company for the shoot. If you need someone to run your Facebook and YouTube ads as well, look at our list of Salt Lake City marketing agencies. If you want a full TV and billboard campaign, the firms on our list of Salt Lake City advertising agencies handle the creative and the media buying together.

Other ways to get your business in front of locals

A good video gives people a reason to call, but it still has to reach them. Our guide to where to advertise in Salt Lake City walks through billboards, radio, print and newsletters. The Salt Lake Valley newsletter, which publishes this page, goes to about 2,400 Salt Lake County readers every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and we sell ads in it. We are not a production company, so we left ourselves off the list above. Current ad options and prices are on our advertise page, and you can list your business in our Local Directory for $49 a month.

Common questions

What are the best video production companies in Salt Lake City for small businesses?
For training videos, testimonials and event coverage, Digital Byte and BW Productions in Salt Lake City are good first calls. Avalanche Studios in Sandy shoots commercials and aerial footage, Beehive Video Productions in Millcreek handles depositions and training videos, and Madeby makes animated explainers.
How much does a video cost in Salt Lake City?
The companies on this list price by quote and do not publish rates on their homepages. Cost depends on shoot days, crew size, script, actors and the number of edits. Send three companies the same short brief and ask each one to split the quote into pre-production, shooting and editing.
Should I hire a local video company or a national one?
A local company can scout your location, meet you in person and come back for a reshoot without travel fees. Many companies that rank for Salt Lake City searches are national firms with a city page, so check the address on the contact page before you book.
Do I need a script before I hire a video production company?
No. Many companies, including Digital Byte, list scriptwriting as a service. Ask up front whether the script is included in the quote, because some crews expect you to bring one.
Who films legal depositions in Salt Lake County?
Beehive Video Productions in Millcreek lists legal video and depositions among its services, along with training videos and tape and film transfer.
