Filming with a 3rd Party Vendor - Non University Entity
Film permit requests are submitted via EMS Web App. Film permits are approved by the Film Advisory Committee and granted by Facilities Management. A university sponsor MUST be present during the video production at all times. There are no exceptions to this.
If your film project requires the use of a third party to film, and the end product of the project will ultimately remain the legal property of the vendor - use these documents and processes.
Filming with a Drone on University Property
In accordance with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and to ensure public safety and maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy for the entire campus community, the University of Colorado Denver and the University of Colorado Anschutz have established a policy prohibiting unapproved drone flights over properties owned, operated, and controlled by the campus. If you wish to request an exception to this policy, please click the button below to access the necessary steps.
News Media Requests
We welcome conventional news media outlets to coordinate directly with our University Communications office for any filming or photography needs on campus. Permits are still required, but our office can help facilitate a smooth and expedited process. Failure to do so may result in work stoppage and/or removal from campus facilities.
Students
Students filming on either campus have several steps to follow in addition to filling out the in-person form AND the EMS request. Please click the button below for the most up-to-date forms.
