Video Production in Salt Lake City
Local Crew, Real Locations
Salt Lake City video production from Eagle Wing Productions: we film across the Wasatch Front, from downtown offices and studios to canyon and mountain locations most out-of-town crews never reach. Based right here at 159 W Broadway, we bring shorter travel days, faster scheduling, and a crew that already knows the permits, parking, and light at every location we shoot.
Where We Film
Where We Film Across the Salt Lake City Area
Our home base is downtown Salt Lake City, but most projects pull us across the valley and up into the mountains. Because we are local, a shoot in Sandy, a shoot in Lehi, and a shoot in Park City are all a normal drive, not a travel-day surcharge. We regularly produce video in and around Salt Lake City proper: downtown, The Gateway, Sugar House, the Granary District, the University of Utah, and the Salt Palace and other convention venues for event and conference coverage.
The wider Wasatch Front pulls us in just as often: Sandy, Draper, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, West Valley City, Lehi and the Silicon Slopes tech corridor, Ogden to the north, and Provo to the south. Park City and the Cottonwood canyons are close enough for a same-day mountain or resort shoot. Service area, defined: the geographic radius a production team will travel to film without out-of-market travel fees. Ours covers the Salt Lake City metro and most of the Wasatch Front, and keeping a shoot inside that radius is the single easiest way to protect a video budget, since travel, lodging, and per-diem for an out-of-state crew often cost more than the filming itself.
Filming Locations & Permits
Filming Locations and Permits in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City gives you an unusually wide range of looks inside a single metro. You can shoot a polished corporate interview downtown in the morning and a wide, cinematic mountain sequence in the Cottonwood canyons the same afternoon, a genuine advantage for business video, not just feature films. Filming permit: the written permission a city or land manager requires before you film in a public space such as a street, park, or plaza. Requirements differ by jurisdiction across the valley, and a shoot that crosses from Salt Lake City into a neighboring city or onto state or federal land can need more than one.
For public-property shoots we handle the permit step for you. Salt Lake City requires a film permit for productions on city property, and outdoor locations in the canyons or on public land often sit under the U.S. Forest Service or state land managers, each with its own process. Aerial and drone work adds FAA rules on top of local permits, and we scope this during pre-production so nothing stalls the shoot day. The Utah Film Commission is the state resource that helps productions scout locations and identify the right permitting office, and we use it the way local crews do: a starting point, then we handle the specific approvals your shoot needs.

Production Logistics Unique to Salt Lake City
Light and altitude: Salt Lake City sits above 4,200 feet with clean, high-altitude light that photographs beautifully but changes fast near the mountains, where peaks can cut a shooting day short in late afternoon. We schedule exterior work around that, not against it.
Seasons: winter opens up ski and resort footage in the Cottonwoods and Park City but complicates canyon access and road time, while summer and early fall give the longest, most dependable outdoor days. Distances and traffic: the Wasatch Front is a long, narrow valley, so a downtown-to-Lehi move in rush hour eats real time. We sequence locations geographically to keep the crew filming instead of driving, and because we live here, we already know the parking, load-in, and permit quirks of the common venues.
Why Eagle Wing
Why Choose a Salt Lake City-Based Video Team
Eagle Wing Productions is owned and run by Andrew Eckhoff, who started shooting at 15 and built the company right here in Salt Lake City. That local ownership matters on a shoot day: you are working with the people accountable for the result, not a coordinator routing a crew in from out of state.
Clients Include
Microsoft · IHOP · Firehouse Subs · Altria · R.S. Hughes · Myriad Genetics
A 5.0 Rating, Hands-On Ownership
We hold a 5.0 rating across 35+ Google reviews, and our owner Andrew Eckhoff personally leads every project. See our recent work.
A Realistic, Honest Timeline
Most local corporate projects run two to six weeks from strategy call to final delivery, with a full commercial at the longer end. Being local shortens the scheduling and revision loops, but good video still takes planning.
A Portfolio That Scales
We have produced work for clients including Microsoft, IHOP, Firehouse Subs, and Altria, and traveled internationally for a large event production in Scotland, so the same crew scales from one local interview to a multi-camera shoot.
Utah Film Incentives
Utah Film Incentives and What They Mean for You
Utah actively courts productions, and it is worth understanding the incentive landscape even if your project is a business video rather than a feature film. Utah Motion Picture Incentive Program (MPIP): a state program that returns 20% to 25% of a production's in-state spend as a cash rebate or a refundable tax credit, paid after the work is verified. Source: Utah Film Commission.
The honest caveat: these incentives are built for larger productions that meet minimum-spend and Utah-hire thresholds, so a typical corporate or commercial video will not qualify on its own. Where it can matter is a large, multi-day campaign, or a production choosing between Utah and another state. For everyday business video, the real local saving is simpler: no out-of-state crew travel, lodging, or per-diem on your invoice.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a permit to film in Salt Lake City? +
Yes, filming on public property in Salt Lake City generally requires a film permit, and canyon or public-land locations can require additional approvals from state or federal land managers. Private property, offices, and studios usually do not. We handle the permit step for public-space shoots as part of pre-production so the shoot day is not delayed.
What are the best locations for a video shoot in Salt Lake City? +
The best location depends on the look you want: downtown and The Gateway for modern corporate settings, the University of Utah and the Granary District for character, and the Cottonwood canyons or Park City for cinematic outdoor and mountain footage. Salt Lake City is unusual in letting you capture a polished interior and a dramatic exterior on the same day.
What cities near Salt Lake City do you serve? +
We serve the full Wasatch Front, including Sandy, Draper, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, West Valley City, Lehi and the Silicon Slopes corridor, Ogden, Provo, and Park City. Because we are based downtown, these are standard drives with no out-of-market travel fee.
Can you film outdoor or mountain shoots near Salt Lake City? +
Yes, outdoor and mountain shoots are a regular part of our work, including canyon, resort, and trail locations in and around the Cottonwoods and Park City. Outdoor public-land shoots may need permits and are weather- and season-dependent, so we scout and schedule these carefully during pre-production.
Does hiring a local Salt Lake City crew save money? +
Usually, yes. Hiring a local crew removes the travel, lodging, and per-diem costs that an out-of-state team bills, which on many projects add up to more than the filming itself. A local team also knows the venues and permits, which keeps the shoot day efficient and reduces costly reshoots.
Do Utah film incentives apply to my business video? +
Most standard business videos do not qualify, because Utah's Motion Picture Incentive Program is designed for larger productions that hit minimum in-state spend and Utah-hire thresholds. If your project is a large, multi-day campaign, it may be worth exploring, and we will flag that during planning and point you to the Utah Film Commission.
