Fort Worth Video Production
TV commercials, company videos and brand stories for Fort Worth businesses, filmed at your place by a crew that knows the whole metroplex.
Fort Worth videographers
A Dallas crew that shows up in Fort Worth
Straight talk first: Tribal Video is based in East Dallas, on I-30. We don’t have a Fort Worth office and we’re not going to rent a mailbox to look like we do. What we do have is a crew that drives west on that same interstate whenever a Fort Worth business needs a video, with everything it takes to make one.
That’s how it should work anyway. The best place to film your business is your business: your office, your shop floor, your people. You don’t come to a studio. We come to you, set up, and walk everyone through it. All you have to do is show up.
Cameron started his first production company in 2011 and moved to Dallas in 2014. Since then we’ve filmed for brands like Coca-Cola, Kroger and Toyota, and for Fort Worth companies like Al Boenker Insurance, whose TV spots you can watch below.

Making a local TV spot
Your ad airs to the whole metroplex
Here’s something that surprises a lot of Fort Worth business owners. Dallas and Fort Worth share one TV market. NBC 5 and CBS 11 are both licensed to Fort Worth, and they broadcast to Plano and Mesquite just as much as to Tarrant County. Buy a spot on local TV and the whole metroplex sees it.
That changes how you make the commercial. You’re paying for a big audience, and most of it has never heard of you. So the spot has to say who you are and what you do in the first few seconds, look sharp next to the national brands in the same ad break, and still feel like a real local business, because it is one.
The way we usually get there is simple: film your actual place with real people in it, write a script that gets to the point, and light it so it holds up on a big TV. The Al Boenker Insurance spots below were shot right in the agency’s office with a spokeswoman talking straight to camera. No stock skyline, no fake set.
Production and airtime are separate costs. We make the commercial; what it costs to air depends on the station, the time slot and how often it runs. We can also cut shorter versions for streaming and social from the same shoot, so one shoot day works harder for you.

How a Fort Worth shoot works
We handle the drive. You handle the coffee.
Before. We start with a call about what the video needs to do, who it’s for, and when you need it. Then we lock in the date, the location and the script or interview questions. Read more about our process.
Shoot day. We plan our call time around the drive from Dallas and the hour it takes to set up lights, cameras and audio, so we’re ready before your people are. Then we walk everyone through it and keep it relaxed. Nobody should feel like they’re on trial.
After. We edit back in Dallas: music, titles, graphics and a couple of rounds of revisions with you until it’s right.
Cost. Same rates in Fort Worth as in Dallas: $2,000 for a full day, $1,500 for a half day, $1,000 for an assistant and $150 an hour for editing. A 2-minute video typically takes about 6 hours of editing, so a simple half-day company video lands around $2,400. See the full pricing breakdown →

Fort Worth video FAQs
Do you have an office in Fort Worth?
No, and we won’t pretend otherwise. Our studio is in East Dallas on I-30, at 8035 E R.L. Thornton Fwy. Fort Worth is a straight shot west on the same interstate, and almost every shoot happens at your place anyway, so you don’t need to come to us. We bring the gear to you.
Do you charge extra to shoot in Fort Worth?
Fort Worth is part of the Dallas–Fort Worth area we shoot in all the time, and our day rates are the same: $2,000 for a full day, $1,500 for a half day. If a project needs anything beyond that, like extra travel days or several locations, it will be spelled out in the quote before anything gets booked.
How much does a TV commercial cost for a Fort Worth business?
Production runs on our published rates. A full shoot day ($2,000) with an assistant ($1,000) and around 10 hours of editing ($1,500) comes to about $4,500. A simpler spot shot in a half day costs less. Actors, licensed music or heavy graphics add to it. Buying the airtime is separate from making the commercial. See video production pricing for worked examples.
Can you film at our office, store or job site?
Yes, that’s how most of our shoots work. We roll in with cameras, lights and audio, set up (that takes roughly an hour), and walk your people through it. Al Boenker Insurance’s TV spots were filmed right in the agency’s office.
Have you worked with Fort Worth companies before?
Yes. We’ve produced two TV commercials for Al Boenker Insurance, a Fort Worth insurance agency. You can watch both on this page and in our portfolio.
Do you shoot in the rest of Tarrant County?
Yes. We work across Tarrant County and the whole Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, and we travel outside Texas when a project calls for it.
