Orange County video production company, headquartered in Irvine

A team based in Irvine understands local venues, permitting requirements, traffic patterns and scheduling realities across Orange County, which makes planning easier and more cost-efficient. It also removes Los Angeles travel charges from the budget and makes in-person collaboration far easier, from the pre-production meeting to the review round.

Cost depends on scope: filming days, crew size, locations, talent and post-production. Most corporate and MedTech projects begin around $6,000 to $15,000, while multi-day campaigns and commercials run higher. A single customer testimonial filmed in a half day starts at $3,500.

Every quote is built from the same three parts: pre-production from $500, a production day at $6,000 to $8,000, and editing at $2,000 to $4,000 per finished video. The budget estimator returns the same range in about two minutes.

Sometimes. Commercial shoots in public spaces, parks, beaches and certain private properties such as Irvine Company sites usually do require one, and the requirement depends on the location and the size of the production. Irvine issues permits through the City of Irvine film permit office, and Newport Beach through FilmLA. Interior shoots in your own offices generally do not. We determine what is needed and manage the process when it applies.

Yes, and they are most of what we do. Our Orange County work covers healthcare and medical technology, finance and fintech, higher education, technology and corporate communications, all sectors that need clear messaging, brand trust and a polished look. We work with your internal teams so messaging aligns with your regulatory or compliance requirements, including patient privacy considerations on healthcare shoots.

Our office and studio are at 5151 California Avenue, Suite 100, in University Research Park, Irvine, CA 92617. Being based in central Irvine puts us within about 30 minutes of Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Anaheim, Santa Ana and most of the county. Call (949) 877-8377 or use the contact page.

Most take about three to four weeks from kickoff to final delivery, depending on scope, review rounds and the number of deliverables. Our average across all projects is 28 days. Simpler projects move faster, larger campaigns take six to eight weeks, and expedited timelines are possible for urgent content or event coverage. If you have a hard deadline, say so on the first call and we plan the shoot date backwards from it.

Often yes, but it depends on the exact location and the controlled airspace around SNA. Our licensed FAA Part 107 operators review each site individually and secure all applicable flight authorizations before filming. Where a flight cannot be authorized we plan an alternative, such as a high-vantage ground shot or a nearby location outside the restriction.

Yes. We film trade shows, medical conferences, brand events, executive presentations and corporate gatherings across the county, including at the Anaheim Convention Center. Event coverage includes multi-camera capture, executive and attendee interviews, highlight reels and fast-turnaround social edits, often delivered the same week.

Yes. Beyond filming and editing, our in-house team handles creative concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding and talent casting. For executive and testimonial videos we use a guided interview approach rather than a script, so the answers stay natural, and we do not put anyone on a teleprompter unless the content genuinely needs one.

Yes, and we do it regularly. Our crews are insured, badge-ready and used to minimal-footprint lighting, which lets us capture high-quality footage in active hospitals, biotech labs, university classrooms and secure corporate headquarters without disrupting the work going on around us.

No. Travel anywhere inside Orange County is included in the quote, and so is travel across Los Angeles and San Diego. This is the main practical difference between hiring us and hiring a Los Angeles crew, where travel time and mileage are usually billed on top of the shoot day.
