7 Hills Productions is a full-service video production company headquartered in Irvine, California, with a studio in Downtown Los Angeles.

-
Nothing is subcontracted
The producer who scopes your project is the one on set and in the edit suite. No agency middle layer, and no brief lost in a handoff — here is how a project actually runs.
-
We own the kit
Cinema cameras, lighting and audio are ours, so there is no rental mark-up buried in your quote. The Downtown LA studio is ours too, and you can book it on its own.
-
Two bases, one crew
Irvine HQ and a Los Angeles studio, with the same team travelling for shoots in San Diego, San Francisco, New York and anywhere else the story is.
-
Numbers before the call
Read the published rate card, or spend two minutes with the budget estimator, and you will have a realistic range before you speak to anyone.
-
Your industry’s rules, built in
Review cycles, compliance and brand governance differ by sector, so we work to them in healthcare, higher education, finance and technology.
-
Stills from the same shoot
Our crew shoots photography alongside video, so one booking covers the headshots, the product stills and the film. The range is in our portfolio.

Why 7 Hills
What you get that most production companies cannot offer
One in-house team owns the whole project, from the first creative call to the final export. Nothing is subcontracted out and nothing gets lost between vendors.
One team, start to finish
Strategy, crew and edit sit under one roof. The people who scoped your project are the people on set and in the edit suite.
We own our kit
Cinema cameras, lighting, audio and a Downtown Los Angeles studio are ours, so rental mark-ups stay out of your quote.
Built for your sector
Hospital floors, campus calendars, compliance reviews and factory safety rules are planned for before the call sheet goes out.
Priced and dated up front
An itemised quote from a published rate card, and a delivery date of three to six weeks that we hold you to.
You own the footage
Every project ships with the raw footage, already colour corrected, at no extra cost. Your team can recut it for social, ads or internal use whenever you like.
One shoot, many assets
Every edit is delivered in 4K and cut to 16:9 and 9:16 as standard, so a single filming day turns into a library rather than one video.
Where we shoot
Based in Southern California, filming across the country
7 Hills Productions films out of three home bases — Irvine, Los Angeles and San Diego — and travels for production anywhere in the United States. Each of the nine cities below has its own page with rates and logistics.
Home base Regular production market
Home bases
Own crew, own equipment, no travel line on the quote.
Regular production markets
Cities we film in often enough to have a page of rates and logistics for each.
Filming somewhere else? We travel nationwide — a producer and director from the core team run the shoot, and the edit is always done in house. Travel beyond 50 miles of Irvine is quoted on top; the rate card shows how.
Industries
Video built around how your industry actually works
HIPAA-aware hospital shoots, campus schedules, compliance reviews in finance, factory-floor safety — the constraints differ by sector, so the production plan does too.
Healthcare & Biotech
Patient stories, provider recruitment and residency films, shot inside live clinical environments.
Higher Education & Schools
Admissions, campus life and program video that works around the academic calendar.
Finance & Fintech
Explainers, thought leadership and podcasts, with compliance review built into the schedule.
Technology & Software
Product demos, customer proof and launch films for companies selling something abstract.
Manufacturing & Industrial
Factory, process and safety video shot to plant rules without stopping the line.
Beauty & Fashion
Campaign, lookbook and social content with the lighting and grade the category expects.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Food, venue and guest-experience films captured around real service hours.
Professional Services
Partner profiles, case studies and recruiting video for firms that sell expertise.
How it works
Three stages, one team, no handoffs
Every project runs through the same three stages — pre-production, production and post — with the same people from kickoff to final delivery. Most videos take three to six weeks end to end.
The blueprint
Creative direction, script, shot list, casting, locations and a call sheet everyone signs off on. Typically one to two weeks, from $500.
The shoot
Owned cinema cameras, lighting and audio, run by a calm crew that keeps non-actors comfortable. Half days from $3,500; full days $6,000–$8,000.
The polish
Edit, colour, sound mix, graphics and social cutdowns, with three rounds of revisions included. Flat $2,000–$4,000 per finished video.
Pricing
Know the number before you book the call
Video production with 7 Hills Productions runs from $3,500 for a single testimonial video to $14,000–$50,000 for a commercial campaign. Every quote is assembled from the same four building blocks, at published rates, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
The rate card
Flat rates, published. No hourly billing and no overage surprises.
| Building block | What it covers | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-production | Creative development, scripting, scheduling, casting and location scouting | from $500 |

Frequently asked questions
What types of videos does 7 Hills Productions produce?
7 Hills Productions produces twelve categories of business video: brand films, testimonials, corporate and internal communications, healthcare, education and training, events, video ads and commercials, product videos, explainer and animation, video podcasts, recruitment videos, and promotional campaigns.
The team has produced more than 200 videos for Kaiser Permanente and more than 150 for Porsche, alongside work for universities, technology companies and consumer brands. Browse every service.
How much does a typical video project cost?
Projects start at $3,500 for a single testimonial video filmed and edited on a half day. A brand film with one shoot day usually lands between $9,000 and $14,000, and a full commercial campaign runs $14,000 to $50,000.
Every quote is built from four line items — pre-production from $500, a half day at $3,500 or a full day at $6,000–$8,000, and editing at a flat $2,000–$4,000 per finished video. Try the budget estimator.
How long does it take to complete a video?
Most video projects are delivered in three to six weeks. That covers planning and scripting (one to two weeks), filming (one day for most projects), and editing with revisions (two to three weeks).
Short-turnaround projects such as event recaps can be delivered in days, and expedited timelines are available when a launch date requires them.
Do you offer fixed packages or custom quotes?
Pricing is custom, assembled from a published rate card rather than fixed packages. Some clients arrive with a finished creative plan and only need crew and edit; others need strategy, scripting, casting, location scouting and full post-production.
Quotes are itemised line by line so it is clear what each stage costs and what happens if scope changes. See the full rate card.
What cities and industries do you serve?
7 Hills Productions is based in Irvine, California, with a studio in Downtown Los Angeles, and films regularly across Orange County, Los Angeles and San Diego. The team also travels for regional and national projects, including New York, Texas, Arizona and Nevada.
Core industries are healthcare and biotech, higher education, finance and fintech, technology and software, manufacturing, beauty and fashion, hospitality and professional services.
Can we be involved in the creative process?
Yes. Clients can review scripts, approve casting, join location scouts and give notes on each edit round, or hand the whole brief over and simply approve the final cut.
Creative support includes scripting, storyboarding, moodboards, interview preparation and concept development, with regular check-ins scheduled around your team's availability.
Do you offer ongoing video packages?
Yes. Monthly and quarterly retainers are available for organisations with continuous content needs — health systems, universities, ecommerce brands and corporate marketing teams.
Retainers typically cover a recurring shoot day plus a set number of finished videos, podcast episodes or social cutdowns per month, at a lower effective rate than one-off projects.
Do you have your own studio and equipment?
Yes. 7 Hills Productions owns its cinema cameras, lighting and audio packages, and operates a photo and video studio in Downtown Los Angeles that is also available to rent.
Owning the gear keeps rental mark-ups out of quotes and means the same crew works with the same kit on every shoot. Studio details and rates.
