Sarasota Video Production Company
AVISUAL is a commercial film and video studio based in Sarasota. We plan, film and edit for businesses here, on location, with a crew sized to the project.
A small city with an unusual mix of business
Sarasota does not have one dominant industry, and that shapes the video work here. Resorts, restaurants and tour operators on Siesta Key, Lido Key and Longboat Key sell to visitors who have not arrived yet. Hospitals and private practices compete for patients and for staff.
Arts and culture organizations, from theaters to museums, depend on audiences and donors. Contractors and trades keep busy across the county, and they compete for skilled people too. Around all of it sits a layer of law, wealth management, accounting and consulting firms.
Each of these buyers needs something different from a film. What they share is a local audience that notices when a place is shown as it really is.

How production works locally
We have no studio facility and do not pretend to. We film where your business is.
- 01
Locations
Your hotel, office, job site or venue comes first. For anything else, we scout and arrange a location during pre-production.
- 02
Light
The Gulf is to the west, so beaches and waterfront exteriors usually look best late in the day. Interiors are scheduled for the hours in between.
- 03
Weather
Summer brings heat and afternoon storms. Outdoor scenes go early or late, with a backup plan agreed in advance.
- 04
Permits
Beaches, parks, public streets and some private communities have their own rules for commercial filming. We check what applies to each location and handle permits case by case.
- 05
Season
Winter and spring are the busy months for most visitor-facing businesses. We film then if a hotel or restaurant should look lively, and in quieter months if you need empty rooms and easy access.
Service area
From Sarasota we cover Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Venice, Siesta Key and Longboat Key. We also travel to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Southwest Florida, and statewide for the right project.
A note on our portfolio: the films we show were produced in several places, including other parts of Florida and abroad. We do not present them as Sarasota work.
