Video Production in Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix is the fifth-largest city in America and its brands compete like it. Influence Studios produces commercials, brand films, music videos and social campaigns for Phoenix companies out of a nearly 10,000 sq ft stage fifteen minutes up I-17 from downtown. It is the same crew that has shot for Lamborghini, Nike and Super Bowl LVII activations.
Why Phoenix
Local knowledge. National-grade craft.
Every Phoenix production runs the full in-house pipeline: concept and scripting, filming downtown or anywhere else in the metro, then edit, color, sound and CGI finished in the same building rather than farmed out.
Downtown and midtown frames
Rooftop and high-rise work above Central Avenue, brick and loading docks in the Warehouse District, mural walls on Roosevelt Row, and the Melrose Curve on 7th Ave when a spot wants neon instead of glass.
Four venues inside one walk
Chase Field, Footprint Center, the Arizona Financial Theatre and the convention center sit inside a walkable core, so one downtown day can cover an activation, a sponsor set and athlete interviews without the truck ever moving.
When Phoenix will not cooperate
July on Central Avenue, a jet on approach to Sky Harbor every few minutes, a light-rail bell through the middle of a take. The LED volume wall and the cyclorama are a straight run up I-17, so a shot that keeps dying outdoors gets finished indoors the same afternoon.

Photography in Phoenix
Headshot days and brand libraries for Phoenix towers
Central Ave, the Camelback Corridor and the Warehouse District are full of firms that need forty people photographed in one afternoon looking like they work at the same company. The five-set portrait studio runs those days on a motorized six-color seamless, so legal, finance and healthcare teams get matched crops and matched backgrounds, with the Victorian book wall reserved for partner and executive portraits. On location we build the rest of the library in the same week as the video shoot: office interiors, Roosevelt Row mural walls, rooftop skyline frames, one art direction carried across every asset.
Shoot on location here, or bring it to the Glendale portrait studio: five standing sets including a motorised six-colour seamless wall, a Victorian book wall and a 150 sq ft grass wall, from $49/hr.

The studio anchors it
The stage behind every Phoenix shoot.
When the location won’t cooperate (heat, light, noise), production moves to our 10,000 sq ft Glendale facility: a 30 ft LED volume wall, a 2,000+ sq ft cyclorama stage, a podcast suite, and standing sets. Every space books by the hour, online.
Good to know
Phoenix questions, answered.
We do, and it starts long before the shoot day. Filming in the public right of way goes through the City of Phoenix film office, and the moment a shot takes a lane or a sidewalk it also pulls in street transportation and officers for traffic control, which is booked in weeks rather than days. Light rail down Central and the one-way pairs on Washington and Jefferson decide a lot of it for you. The Roosevelt Row murals are on privately owned walls, so those need the building owner separately. We scout it, file it, staff it, and we always design a version of the shot that survives a closure being denied.
Production is quoted, not listed, because a two-person founder interview and a downtown spot with a closure, a crane and talent are not the same animal. You get a written scope: crew size, shoot days, deliverables and revisions, with any permit, traffic-control or travel line shown as its own number instead of buried in a total. Studio time is the part with a published price, and current hourly rates sit on the booking page.
Build it on the stage. Fifteen minutes separates downtown from the volume wall, close enough that talent driving in from Arcadia or Ahwatukee still makes a 7am call, and once you are inside there is no permit, no closure, no heat and no siren ruining take nine. The LED wall puts a Phoenix street, a canyon road or an office tower behind the subject, the cyclorama handles product and vehicles, and the standing sci-fi lab, motel and bar sets cover narrative work outright.
