Video production in San Francisco

Corporate & commercial video for Bay Area tech. Built for fast turnarounds, broadcast-grade craft, and measurable lift.

San Francisco

Your local crew in San Francisco.

We started LV Productions in San Francisco in 2018, and this is still home base. Our ten-person crew shoots in SoMa offices, Presidio exteriors, the Financial District, and across the Bay. We file SF Film Commission permits regularly, know which blocks get good morning light before the fog lifts, and speak the visual language Bay Area tech brands expect. That local knowledge saves you time on every shoot.

Pricing & FAQ

SF Production

How much does commercial and corporate video production cost in San Francisco?

In San Francisco, professional video typically runs $5,000–$100,000+ depending on scope. Ballpark figures from our recent work: ~$6,000 for a straightforward corporate edit, ~$15,000 for a testimonial package, ~$30,000 for 3D animation, $80,000+ for a TV spot or major launch. Your number depends on shoot days, crew, and deliverables — use the contact form and we'll send a line-item quote.

What is the typical turnaround time?

Most projects get a first cut within one week from wrap. Rush delivery (48–72 hours from wrap) is available for an additional fee. A single spot — kickoff to final master — is usually 2–4 weeks. Bigger campaigns and 3D jobs take longer. We've shipped broadcast-grade work within one week from filming.

Do you work outside San Francisco?

Yes. We run crews in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Austin, and Las Vegas, with animators and editors distributed for post. San Francisco is HQ; we work nationally.

What's included in 'full-service' production?

Pre-production: concept, script, storyboard, casting, locations. Production: direction, crew, gear, on-set producing. Post: edit, color, sound, motion graphics, and masters sized for the channels you're running.

How do we get started?

Use the contact form or call +1 (415) 300-0491. We reply within one business day and schedule a short intake call — no commitment. Most quotes go out within 48 hours after that call.

Filming in San Francisco

Permits

Permits in San Francisco are issued by the San Francisco Film Commission. SF Film Commission issues location permits for most public exterior filming. Response time is typically 3–5 business days for standard permits. Presidio and GGNRA require separate NPS permits. Golden Gate Bridge photography/filming is controlled by the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District.

Best filming locations

SoMa has the office-backdrop look most startup brands want. Ferry Building and Embarcadero read instantly as San Francisco on camera. Presidio exteriors look cinematic without the downtown permit stack.

Weather & scheduling

Summer mornings often start in fog and clear by 11AM. For weather-dependent exteriors, September through November usually gives you the most reliable skies.
