Kaiser Permanente brand film
HealthcareKaiser needed a brand film that felt like care, not marketing. Filmed inside their facilities with staff and patients, under their privacy and approval process.
Video production by industry
What a hospital needs on camera is not what a fintech, a university or a restaurant group needs. We have filmed for Kaiser Permanente, Abbott, California State University, Databricks, Porsche and L’Oréal, and we work to the approvals, consent rules and pace each sector runs on.
Most projects run $6,000 to $35,000. Ranges by sector are in the table below and on our pricing page. Or build your own estimate in two minutes.

What clients say about working with us
Clients in regulated sectors stay with us because the process is calm, the approvals get handled and the films still look like brand work.
They impressed us with prompt responses, ensuring we met all filming objectives without missing a beat. The quality fully met my expectations.
7 Hills Productions went above and beyond in terms of quality, professionalism, responsiveness, and timeliness. They captured our vision perfectly.
They did an amazing job providing a great product. Very easy to work with, we decided to keep working with them for a year-long campaign.
Built for regulated and complex organizations
Consent and patient privacy
We run consent and release workflows on healthcare shoots and follow each system’s own approval process before anything is published.
Campus and brand approvals
University work means multiple departments signing off. We build the approval rounds into the schedule instead of discovering them late.
Compliance review
Finance and healthcare copy often goes through a review team. We script and edit expecting changes, so review does not blow up the timeline.
Site access and safety
Factories, labs and construction sites have rules. We plan access, badging and safety with your team before the crew shows up.
Filming around real operations
Patients, students, diners and production lines do not stop for a camera. Small crews and tight setups keep the day moving.
One team across sectors
The same crew shoots a hospital on Tuesday and a restaurant on Thursday, so what works in one sector gets carried into the next.
The four formats every industry buys
Sector changes the content and the approvals. These four formats do the work almost everywhere.

Why industry experience matters in video production
Industry video production means knowing the rules of the room before the crew arrives: who can appear on camera, what has to be approved, how long you have, and what the audience in that sector actually responds to.
The camera work is the same everywhere. Filming inside a hospital, on a campus, in a regulated finance team or on a factory floor is not, and that is where projects usually go wrong.
1Who is it for?
Marketing, communications, HR and admissions teams inside healthcare systems, universities, technology, finance, manufacturing, consumer brands and professional firms.
2What changes by sector?
Consent and privacy, approval chains, site access and safety, and the proof each audience needs before they act.
3What does it cost?
From $3,500 for a single testimonial to $35,000 or more for multi-day, multi-location campaigns.

Industry video production FAQ
Do you have experience in my industry?
Most likely. We film regularly in healthcare and biotech, higher education, finance and fintech, technology, manufacturing, beauty and fashion, hospitality and professional services. If your sector is not listed, the process is the same and we will say honestly what we have and have not filmed.
How much does video production cost in my sector?
From $3,500 for a single testimonial to $35,000 or more for multi-day campaigns. The table above gives the range each sector usually lands in, and you can build your own estimate.
Can you film inside a hospital or clinic?
Yes. We work with consent and release workflows, follow each system’s privacy and approval process, and keep crews small enough to work around real patient care. See healthcare video production.
How do you handle approvals with multiple departments?
We map who signs off before the shoot, get the treatment or script approved in writing, and build two review rounds into the edit schedule so compliance or brand teams are never the surprise.
Do you film on factory floors and job sites?
Yes. We plan site access, badging and safety with your team, work around production schedules and can shoot with minimal crew when the space is tight.
What formats work best for B2B sectors?
Brand films for credibility, customer stories for proof, explainers or training for complex products, and recruitment films for hiring. Most clients build all four from two shoot days.
Can one shoot cover several departments?
Usually yes. Marketing, HR and internal comms often need different films from the same location and people, and planning them together is far cheaper than three separate days.
Do you sign NDAs and follow brand guidelines?
Yes to both. We work inside brand systems regularly and sign NDAs before pre-production when the project requires it.
Where do you film?
We are based in Irvine, film across Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego and the Bay Area, and travel nationwide for multi-site work.
