Video Production Company Sao Paulo
Video Production Background Sao Paulo
Filma is a cloud based video production company that produces videos in multiple locations, with connections to top production houses in São Paulo. São Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, is a bustling and vibrant place with a population of 22 million in its metropolitan region making it the second most populated city of the Southern Hemisphere. The city is also a producer’s dream, boasting a diverse range of architecture, environments, ethnicities, cutting-edge filming equipment, and some of the best talent in the business. In this article, we’ll support why São Paulo is an incredible video production location and how Filma covers all your production needs there. Moreover, we’ll sharpen and vitalize your vision through the most powerful marketing medium – video, emboldening your brand for years to come.
Over the last three years, São Paulo has averaged 1,000 productions per year, and the number of foreign productions has tripled in the past three years. Also, it has become a favourite for Netflix Original productions, as seen in the Wachowskis’ Sense8, Brazil’s 3% and the “Striking Viper” episode from Black Mirror’s season 5. All three airports in São Paulo, two of which are international, also serve as domestic hubs for the hundreds of regional Brazilian airports. This conveniently provides easy access to the rest of Brazil should a shoot involve multiple locations. The production industry is separated into film and video, which are completely different in terms of markets. Video production companies focus more on small to medium businesses that require video content for purposes such as either corporate training or advertising. These days, video production has taken over as the best means for a successful marketing strategy.
85% of internet users watch online video content monthly, and with that said, it’s no surprise that 626 million was spent on digital video advertisements last year resulting in a 14 percent increase from the previous year.

Sao Paulo’s Skyline
São Paulo’s juxtaposing architecture showcases the city’s diversity. Made up of 96 districts, the city’s crowded streets, packed avenues and delicious restaurants reveal a city difficult to classify, with multiple, and often paradoxical facets. In São Paulo, you’ll find a blend of modernist architecture, mirrored high-rise buildings and horizontal housing. Within the city’s metropolitan area, there are over 1200 buildings taller than 100 meters and 40 -55 thousand skyscrapers. At one point in time, the city boasted the tallest building in Latin America – the Martinelli Building. The Martinelli opened in 1929 at a height of 130 meters, whilst now, the Mirante do Vale is the largest building in the city standing at 170 meters in height. São Paulo is a city of low buildings, which rarely reach higher than 120 meters and are mostly residential in nature.

Avenida Paulista
Paulista Avenue was previously a residential street filled with large, baroque mansions belonging to coffee barons with many of these torn down in the 1950’s. They’ve since been replaced with multi-story buildings making it a center of luxury and business. Sao Paulo’s major banks have headquarters here and the avenue is home to a native park, many museums and cultural centers. It is also one of the main thoroughfares for city parades, road races, and other pride events.

Theatro Municipal
São Paulo’s Municipal Theatre was first constructed in 1903 and is a truly postcard-perfect place. Since being built, the Municipal Theatre has gone through several restorations in order to make it more modern while still maintaining its glamour. The theatre hosts performances by local schools for both music and dance.

Beco do Batman
Beco do Batman is a name created in the 1980s when a group of art students found graffiti of the famous comic book hero Batman on one of the walls in a narrow alleyway in Vila Madalena. The students decided to expand on the idea and shortly the entire alleyway was covered with multicoloured street art. Additionally, The Beco do Batman was one of the first open air museums dedicated to graffiti that sprung up in Latin America’s largest city.
