Las Vegas Production Guide — 2026
An independent guide to the top production companies in Las Vegas — their specialties, strengths, and who each one is right for.
Las Vegas is one of the most active production markets in the United States. Year-round conventions, a thriving entertainment industry, major sporting events, and constant corporate activations keep the city's production ecosystem working at full capacity. The result is a deep pool of specialized talent — but also a lot of noise when you're trying to find the right partner for a specific project.
This guide was written by the team at Mr. Camera, a Las Vegas production company founded in 1981. We know most of these companies personally. The goal here isn't a sales pitch — it's an honest assessment of who does what well, so you can make a better decision for your project.

Enterprise clients include Netflix, Live Nation, MGM Resorts, Ticketmaster, and Optum. The company operates its own Sony FX9 and FX6 gear fleet and has an established network of contractors across every production discipline. Mr. Camera recently won a Silver Addy Award for a Celine Dion social media segment.
What sets Mr. Camera apart at the enterprise level is the combination of longevity, owned gear, and deep contractor relationships. This is a company that has been navigating the specific logistics of Las Vegas production — the venues, the union rules, the conventions — for over four decades.
Best for
Enterprise clients needing multi-camera live events, corporate video, EPK/VNR, or ENG/EFP crews in Las Vegas. Especially strong for projects requiring broadcast-quality work on tight deadlines.

Best for
Large-scale live events, sports broadcasts, concerts, conventions, and productions requiring OB trucks or REMI infrastructure. Strong choice when you need broadcast-grade switching and a full technical crew.
3. Carafelli Productions
Full-service production — nearly 30 years in Las Vegas
Carafelli Productions is run by Dave Carafelli, who has nearly 30 years of production experience in Las Vegas with over 22 years in live broadcast. His credits span NBA Entertainment (NBA All-Star, WNBA, G League Ignite, USA Basketball), HBO, Showtime, CBS Sports, UFC, FOX, iHeart Radio, and the Latin Grammys — an unusually deep live sports and entertainment broadcast resume for a Las Vegas-based company.
The company offers field production, ENG, live stream, aerial, time-lapse, documentary, commercial, corporate, and VNR services. They also operate a cyclorama studio for controlled shoots. Carafelli Productions positions itself as a high-trust crewing resource — reliable, organized, and with established relationships throughout the local production community.
Best for
Live sports production, field producing, and broadcast crewing for out-of-market networks and production companies. Strong choice when you need a veteran Las Vegas field producer with deep sports broadcast experience.
4. Oogoog Productions
Creative production studio — Las Vegas, since 2002
Oogoog was founded in 2002 by Wes Hirni and Chuck Akin, who met at UNLV film school and built the company around creative storytelling. With over 50 years of combined production experience, Oogoog has grown from commercials and short films into a full-service creative studio handling commercials, music videos, feature films, live display media, social content, and corporate video.
The company handles every stage of production in-house — concept development, pre-production, filming, and post-production including graphics, visual effects, and color. Their creative approach is a differentiator: this is a team that leads with story, not just execution. They are well-suited for projects where the creative concept is as important as the technical delivery.
Best for
Brands and agencies that want a creative partner, not just a crew. Strong for commercials, branded content, music videos, and projects where narrative and visual style are priorities.
5. Frames in Motion
Specialty cinematography — jib, motion control, time-lapse
Frames in Motion is a specialty cinematography company built around dynamic camera movement. Owner and operator Brian has been in the industry since 2003. The company's core gear includes multiple jibs from 5 to 48 feet of reach, a robotic Bolt motion control system, a Dutch head for 360-degree movement, and slider options for time-lapse and video moves. They also operate a full edit suite, live production suite, and a cyclorama studio.
Their distinct value is in cinematography that standard ENG packages can't deliver — the long jib shot over a convention floor, the motion control time-lapse of a product or facility, the crane move that transforms a corporate shoot into something cinematic.
Best for
Productions that need specialty camera movement — jibs, cranes, motion control, or time-lapse. A strong add-on resource for larger productions that need a specific type of shot their primary package can't deliver.
6. Stickman Sound

Fernando has been working in production audio since 2001, specializing in field audio and communications for feature films, scripted and unscripted television, video games, and corporate video.
Production credits include Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Kitchen Nightmares, Next Level Chef, The Ultimate Fighter, Battlebots, and campaigns for Under Armour, Budweiser, and Hilton. They also offer rental gear including Riedel Bolero intercoms and Zaxcom production sound recorders.
Best for

Z Squared is particularly strong for sports broadcast and live signal work requiring fast deployment and technically demanding live transmission infrastructure.
Z Squared Productions is a boutique multimedia production company based in Las Vegas. A smaller operation with a focus on creative video, Z Squared is positioned for clients who want a more personal, hands-on relationship with their production team. Their scale makes them a practical option for projects that don't require a large crew infrastructure.
Best for
Smaller projects and clients who prefer a boutique, personal production experience over a larger company's structure.
Sports broadcast, live event ENG, fiber and TVU live transmission, productions requiring fast-deploy broadcast crews with deep sports network experience.

Sean owns and operates Canon C300 and DSLR packages with L-series and Canon cine prime lenses, along with camera support and lighting. He currently serves as Sr. Director of Cinematography at the UFC.
Gearing Up is best understood as a high-caliber owner-operator resource — an experienced DP who brings cinema-grade glass and direct creative involvement to projects that benefit from skilled, owner-operated camera coverage.
Best for
Productions needing an experienced owner-operator DP with cine-grade packages. Strong for documentary, interview, and single-camera narrative work.

How to Choose
01
Define your format first
Multi-camera live event, single-camera field shoot, studio production, and specialty cinematography require different companies. Know which you need before you start calling.
02
Ask about owned gear
Companies that own their gear deliver more consistent results and better pricing. Ask specifically what they own versus what they rent for each project.
03
Check their crew structure
Most Las Vegas production companies use contractors. That's fine — but know who specifically will be on your shoot, not just the company's highlight reel.
04
Match scale and experience
A company that specializes in large convention broadcasts may not be the right fit for a focused corporate interview series. Match their core competency to your actual project.
