Best video production companies in California: find options near you

I’ve been using 800 Kamerman since 2007 and they’ve always been professional, going out of their way to fill last minute requests for crew and equipment, finding specialty gear for exotic shoots, and always accommodating our production budgets.

I have done quite a few projects with them now and they’re amazing! Super professional and their work always looks really good. They use top of the line equipment and are extremely organized. You can’t go wrong with them. Easily one of the top production companies in Southern California!

800 Kamerman has never disapointed me! I love this group of hardworking individuals. They get the project done and they get it done just how you want it. They always communicate if aomething either doesn’t work or goes wrong. These people are so kind hearted and really just outstanding people to work with! I love this company so much! Keep doing what you guys do best!!

I personally love this company! My dad is the hugest fan of Oakley and being that your doing this giveaway probably makes a lot of people stoked to be apart of your fan base keep doing what your doing brotha! I’ve been trying to get sponsored by Oakley in skateboarding!

My favorite crew of all time!! These guys don’t just do their job, although they definitely only deliver the highest quality stuff, they are a joy to work! They love what they do, which shows. They know what their doing and will make you laugh while doing it. Only good things to say about 800kam!

Hands down best production company I’ve worked with! Trent and his staff are great to work with and go above and beyond to produce amazing films. They are honest, get back to you in a timely manner, and met all our deadlines! I’d definitely recommend them!

I love this company! I am a huge fan of Oakley and since your doing a giveaway probably makes a lot of people excited to be a fan of yours. Keep doing what your doing man!

Our nonprofit was referred to Sebaz Video Productions and we couldn’t have been more happy with their services. Great communication, reliable and punctual on the day of the event, and the photos were just fabulous! Good value for the money too! Highly recommend.

Sebastian produced a video for us and it was an absolute to joy to work with him! I am someone who shies away from the camera and spotlight and he made me feel so comfortable and produced it in a way that I actually can’t wait to share it! He did an incredible job with the setup, the filming, and the organization of it all. We are so grateful for his attention to detail, his execution of our vision, and for representing our business in such a beautiful way

We had the absolute best experience with our engagement photographer, Sebastian Sidi! From the very beginning, he was professional, creative, and incredibly easy to work with. He has such a great eye for capturing natural moments and knew exactly how to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera. What really stood out to us was how considerate and thoughtful he was throughout the process. Our shoot day ended up being over 100 degrees, and Sebastian genuinely cared more about our comfort and experience than just pushing through the session. He even offered to reschedule because of the extreme heat, which says so much about the kind of person he is. Despite the weather, he remained positive and full of creative ideas. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and we could not be happier with the results. If you are looking for someone talented, professional, and truly invested in making your experience special, I highly recommend Sebastian Sidi!

We descided to use Sebaz Production for our Daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. We had Sebastian as our Videographer & we used his Photographer Adi. We were very very happy with the services we were provided. They were incredible day of- had great energy and were super helpful. The Video Sebastian made was so wonderful. It made my Daughter & her friends look so cool, it captured so many of the moments and it was super sentimental. You really feel like you were part of the event as you are watching the video. There were so many incredible pictures. Adi has a wonderful eye. It is hard to come up with descriptive words to describe how well Sebaz Productions turned- up and turned-out for our event. Highly recommend using them for any of your Photography or Videography needs. Will use them for our second daughter in a couple years.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such an amazing experience with Sebaz Video Production for my daughter’s quinceañera! From beginning to end, he was incredibly professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. Throughout the entire process, I felt completely comfortable with him—it honestly felt more like working with a friend than a videographer. What really stood out to me was his ability to capture the organic, genuine moments of such a special day. He has an incredible eye for detail and captured so many beautiful moments and emotions that we will now be able to cherish forever. I also loved that he included testimonials from our guests. That was such a thoughtful and personal touch and made the final video even more meaningful to our family. The quality of the finished videos was absolutely perfect, and I was amazed by the turnaround time—he had everything completed in just TWO DAYS! The level of quality and attention to detail in such a short amount of time was truly impressive. Sebaz Video Production’s talent for capturing not just the event, but the emotions and special moments behind it, is what truly sets him apart. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the beautiful memories he created for our family. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable videographer for their special event. Thank you for capturing my daughter’s quinceañera so beautifully! ❤️

We had a wonderful experience working with Sparkhouse Productions on a shoot with our 15-month-old, Baby Mya. The entire team was amazing and extremely professional. Director Zeinab Torabi was absolutely wonderful—so patient, gentle, and understanding while working with a young child. She made the experience smooth and stress-free for Mya. Producer Neel Bakshi was fantastic as well and helped make the shoot comfortable and well-organized. The whole production team was professional, kind, and great to work with. We truly appreciate the care and professionalism Sparkhouse Productions showed. Highly recommended!

As an actor I had the pleasure of working with Sparkhouse Productions on set. They were fantastic to work with! They were organized, communicative, and professional. The shoot was fun with spectacular views of the lake. The whole crew was hospitable and kind. Both Neel and Z were great!!! Look forward to working with them again.

My teen loved working with Sparkhouse! The day went by smoothly, and the crew were so welcoming and easy to work with. Unfortunately payment for her time on set did not go as smoothly, and we are still waiting a month later. We have been assured 3 separate times payment will be received within the week, with no fulfillment. This definitely put a damper on a very enjoyable experience working with the crew otherwise.

What a wonderful team to work with!! I enjoyed the space we shared and how all involved in the shoot were able to have a friendly professionalism. I can’t wait to work again with everyone. Snacks and food options weren’t the healthiest or freshest but otherwise I felt completely comfortable and welcome!

What a great work day working with a great team! I am a mom of a 7yo child actor. Since the beginning, the communication was super clear and I can feel how genuine Zee in her email communication and how much she cared for my daughter’s well-being. They thought if every details and everything even before we got there. In my email communication, Zee included a menu for our lunch on the work day! I am very impressed! The minute my daughter walked into the door, their balanced friendly + professionalism just burst out from every one of them. My daughter felt like she was home instantly, which is very important for a child actor. The producer filmed her with 2 of his camera crew. Their balanced work-fun energy really brought the best out of my daughter. When we got back to their state-of-the-art office/basecamp/home, that’s a whole another positive experience. Everything was the latest and the most up to date. From the equipments to the water filter machine. I LOVE their water filter! 🩷 I work for many corporations. I know instantly that Sparkhouse cares for their employee’s health, comfort and happiness. They have snacks for everybody and doggies (I thought that was super sweet). When we were back from the other location, my daughter was ready to tackle the second part because she had such a great experience already. The director (Zee) was amazing in directing her, explained everything in details and she pretty much set my daughter up for success. It was a long work day. But they had such positive energy, it was so easy for my daughter to act and play her part. My daughter said that she felt like home and she wanted to come back the next day to «work with everyone» again 🥰 I appreciate everyone for Sophie’s amazing experience. As a mom, I am ten times happy when I saw my daughter’s face beaming with happiness. You know Sophie will drop everything in an instant to work with you again. Until next time! 😊

Coldea Production, led by the exceptionally talented Cristian Coldea, is one of the finest photo and video teams in our community. Cristian’s artistic eye, impeccable attention to detail, and ability to capture genuine emotion make every project truly exceptional. A constant presence at top Romanian community events — as well as prestigious American events — Cristian brings professionalism, creativity, and reliability wherever he goes. Whether it’s a cultural celebration, a concert, a gala, or a high-profile corporate event, he knows how to tell a story through his lens with depth and beauty. His dedication, warm personality, and remarkable talent make Coldea Production a top choice for anyone seeking high-quality, elegant, and unforgettable visual memories. Highly recommended.

We recently hired COLDEA Productions for a large convention of Southern California Romanian-Americans and we couldn’t be happier with the work of Cristian and his team. Our assembly included more than 100 participants and the COLDEA team was excellent in dealing with large groups and more importantly they were able to capture the essence and spirit of our annual gathering. The Romanian Consulate and other Government officials attended and they were very impressed with our social media presence. Thanks COLDEA Productions for a great job. You made our event extra special. We are looking forward to working together again in the future. Highly recommend for conventions, workshops and corporate events… 5-stars.

I am incredibly impressed with the photos taken at my fashion show. The photographer captured every detail—from the movement of the fabrics to the energy of the models on the runway. Their professionalism, timing, and artistic eye truly brought my collection to life. The final images were stunning and exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend them for any fashion or runway event.

We were truly impressed by the incredible talent and professionalism of our photographer during the event. Every moment was captured with creativity, emotion, and an impeccable eye for detail. The photos beautifully reflect the atmosphere and energy of the day — from candid smiles to elegant portraits, each image tells a story.

Had a wonderful experience with Cristian Coldea. He was the event photography for Grammy producer David Brunt’s concert celebrating the Divine Feminine with Grammy award musicians. Cristian Coldea captured the beauty and precious moment of the performance and audience. Even behind the scenes. Definitely call him for your event!

We had an amazing experience with Day N Night Videos! They covered our engagement, pre-wedding, wedding, and reception beautifully. The quality of photos and videos was excellent, and we received everything within just four weeks. The live telecast was fantastic, and we were pleasantly surprised at our reception with two giant posters and a wonderful photo slideshow. The team arrived early for every ceremony and handled everything professionally. Paramjit went above and beyond by helping arrange our wedding decoration, catering, banquet hall, food, and DJ service. Everything ran smoothly without a single issue. His energy, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stand out. If you want reliable and high-quality photo and video service for your special day, I highly recommend Day N Night Videos!

The staff was amazing and their work came out phenomenal. They were very professional and took a lot of time to make sure we got the best pictures for my brother’s reception. I loved their video work and the photos came out beautiful! We look forward to booking their services again for future events! Highly recommend!

Paramjit Bhaji, I just saw a review on Google today regarding your work, and I 101% do not agree with that person. You have covered countless ceremonies for our family over the last 18 years. From small family events to large celebrations, your work has always been outstanding. You even handled Gary’s son’s birthday party with complete A-to-Z arrangements — everything was flawless and well organized. Last year, you managed my niece’s wedding events, including the party in India and the wedding ceremony at Gurdwara in Cornelia. You took care of the video, photography, and all arrangements for us. Not a single complaint from anyone. Everything was smooth, professional, and perfectly timed. You have always helped us save money because you know exactly what is needed and how to plan properly. Communication-wise and punctuality-wise, you are one of the best. You guide families like your own and make sure everything runs stress-free. We truly appreciate you and your hard work. Don’t worry — sometimes these things happen. Keep up the great work. We fully support you. Love you, brother.

Day N Night are the most professional videographers, using the most up-to-date equipment (my husband works in the film industry and was impressed!) They did my wedding, reception, and jaggo in 2019 as well as my cousins birthday in 2025. Both times, they were very courteous and thoughtful in all of their interactions with everyone in the family. And the final result turned out great!! Thank you DNN!!

Dear Bhaji, Today I was going through your website and Google page, and I saw a review someone posted. Honestly, I felt very upset reading those words about you. You did the weddings for three of my friends, and every single one of them was completely satisfied with your work. You also know my wife is Mexican, and she always talks about your punctuality and professionalism. Even when we invited you to our home inauguration, you arrived exactly at 10:30 — the time we gave you — and immediately started helping us with everything that needed to be done. You even helped arrange the food setups. That meant a lot to us. We truly appreciate your dedication and hard work. Please don’t let one negative review take away from all the happiness you’ve brought to so many families. Get ready for another reception — Joban is coming back next month! With respect and appreciation,

fabulous job done by daynnightvideo team. They made our special day more special. They are so patient, calm and hard working. I will recommend them to every possible person. We loved their editing skills as well.

The coverage was amazing with us . We got great photos and videos and everyone was very satisfied with the results. Paramjeet is a very respectful man and he’s always open to recommendations.

I hired Clifton at CA&C Video Productions to live-stream a memorial service for family members who couldn’t travel, and his communication from start to finish made a real difference. He took time beforehand to understand the order of events, checked what equipment the venue had, and let us know exactly how the stream would work. On the day, everything connected smoothly and the feed stayed stable, which was a huge relief for us. The finished video looked clear and captured the emotion of the day – we now have a recording that friends and family can watch again.

Clifton filmed our daughter’s high school graduation, and I appreciated how well organized the whole day was from his side. He arrived early, scoped out sightlines, and positioned his equipment so that nothing blocked anyone’s view. The final video came back with steady shots and clean audio that captured both the ceremony and speeches clearly. For an event where you can’t redo anything, it was reassuring to see how prepared he was and how well the video turned out.

This is a long overdue review for Cliff at CA&C Video. Over 6 years ago, I hired Cliff to record a live presentation that I was doing in San Francisco. Cliff was very thorough, well-prepared, and did an excellent job of capturing my program. I am so pleased with the final product and still use it on my website as a sample video. THANK YOU, Cliff for your awesome work. You rock.

CA&C copied a bunch of VHS videos to a USB drive in MP4 format. Clifton was awesome and had them done pretty quick. It was great to see these old videos of us and kids again!! Highly recommended.

Clifton was great to work with! A client needed their DVDs digitized and unfortunately we didnt have the means to do so. CA&C made the process so easy, and was more affordable than buying a disc drive to do it ourselves. Highly recommend!

Kyler and the whole team at Minivan are unbelievable! When you work with them, you are working with genius level creative talent without the egos. I was blown away by how good they are. They took an idea. I had after 3 cups of coffee on a Saturday morning and turned it into a professional commercial. For a small business owner like myself, they helped me punch way above my weight class. Thank you for everything, Minivan!!

We had an incredible experience working with this production company! The team is made up of amazing people who are professional, kind, and truly talented at what they do. They are fantastic with children, creating a comfortable and fun atmosphere that brings out the best in everyone. Punctuality and professionalism were top-notch—they were always on time and well-prepared. The final product was beyond our expectations. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work and a team that truly cares!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Minivan team on a few productions, and I honestly can’t say enough about how amazing the experience has been. I’ve met not just incredibly talented creatives, but good friends. It’s the perfect mix of skill, passion, and fun.

Couldn’t have been happier with everything the Minivan Productions team did for our brand. From communicating vision, accommodating out of town shoots, and flawlessly editing the finished piece, they are a partner I hope to have a long relationship with!

Minivan Productions creates videos that perfectly capture brands and deliver exceptional results. With a remarkable attention to detail and a commitment to understanding their clients’ vision, Minivan stands out. Their team is incredibly talented and professional. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch production.

Alan and his team were great to work with! We had a large event for a biotech company and Alan did a fantastic job capturing photos and videos of the event, as well as inspiring interviews with key persons. 10/10 highly recommend!

We contacted Alan from Barcelona, Spain. I work for the public broadcasting network and we needed help with a very short but highly specific assignment: a remote interview via video call between Barcelona and Oakland. Alan not only met all the requirements we had to follow as an organization, but also made the entire process incredibly easy for us every step of the way. His professionalism was impeccable, his problem-solving skills impressive and the quality of his work outstanding. The final result was a solid 10/10. We will absolutely be reaching out to him again for future productions. He’s already someone we fully trust as a collaborator, despite the distance between us and the obvious time difference. Alan, we know you’ll read this: thank you again. A big hug from Barcelona.

Our graduation was an event to remember. With COVID taking away so much from our senior class we wanted to make sure their commencement was perfect. Alan and his crew made sure the families and friends at home could view this special occasion. The turn around was quick for the final video and the communication was professional. Thank you for helping us make this day special for the Class of 2021!

Alan is our go to video producer for events outside and in office. He has helped with banquets and even funeral services and we have been extremely happy every time. Not only is the end product is amazing but Alan himself is clear and communicative with the highest level of professionalism. All of this while being affordable and reasonably priced. If you are in the Bay Area and need media production, Alan is the best.

Alan was such a gift to our conference! This was our first hybrid event and having Alan made the live streaming process worry free. Alan is professional, humble and responsive. The quality of his videos are amazing and reflected our desire to present a five-star conference. We were able to reach an unprecedented amount of people on our social media platforms AND we now have a collection of high quality video for future conference marketing. We highly and enthusiastically recommend Alan.

We hired Alan to manage our livestream production for a global brand relaunch. This involved broadcasting live video to our offices and employees around the globe. Alan’s cool and calm professionalism was exactly what we needed. His crew was punctual, responsive, kind, and easy to work with. They led us through what could have been a stressful day and made it fun. The event was flawless.

Alan did an amazing and superior quality livestream and edited recording for my Grandmother’s funeral. We had less than a week to find an anyone to provide the aforementioned services and thankfully Alan was available and willing to work with me and my family during this difficult time. All of my families requests and expectations were met far beyond what we could have ever imagined in this short period of planning. His communication, detailed contract options and overall kindness have led myself and my family forever grateful. We look forward to working with Alan again for future family gatherings in hopefully happier settings. Thank you again!

We couldn’t recommend working with Mike from LocalEyes more highly! Mike has the ability to take big ideas and turn them into seemless, high impact productions. From concept to finish he leads with clarity, calmness, and command of the details. What really sets Mike and LocalEyes apart is how they make their client feel heard and support throughout the whole project.

I had a great experience working with Mike Farnham of LocalEyes for our video production project. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in understanding our vision. They took the time to learn about our brand and translated that into a video that felt authentic and engaging. The production process was smooth and well organized. Their crew was punctual, creative, and easy to work with on set, which made the whole experience stress-free. They also provided helpful direction and ideas that elevated the final result beyond what we initially imagined. The final video quality was excellent—clear visuals, great editing, and a polished look that perfectly captured our message. We’ve received great feedback from clients and team members alike. Overall, I would highly recommend LocalEyes to any business looking for a reliable, high-quality video production partner. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail really set them apart.

I had a great experience working with LocalEyes in Los Angeles to create a promotional video for an independent school. The team was incredibly thoughtful, responsible and organized from start to finish. I always felt like we were in great hands. The two videographers who came to campus were excellent and we were thrilled with the final edits. I will definitely be working with them again.

Mike at LocalEyes has been a trusted partner who truly operates at the top of his craft. His attention to detail and commitment to white-glove service show up in every interaction. Working with someone who cares this much about the experience and the outcome is rare.

LocalEyes is by the far the best and easiest production company I have worked with. I was recommended to have a consultation with them by a friend whose been a client a client of theirs for a year or two. im so glad I took his advice as they were a perfect match for me. Everyone I speak with takes pride in their work and want to make sure I am happy with what they produce. It’s nice to be working with a team whose love for their work makes me feel like I am apart of the team, not just a customer!

I highly recommend working with Mike and Local Eyes for all of your video needs. Mike is strategic, detail-oriented, and an expert at what he does. He was able to elevate our ideas and help execute a top-tier video that was even better than I envisioned. He is a thorough listener, creative, and thoughtful in the way he approaches video and it is always a pleasure interacting with him!

I absolutely love working with Mike. He consistently delivers thoughtful, strategic video recommendations that elevate every project. Any company partnering with LocalEyes would greatly benefit from Mike’s expertise and insight.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the OpenLight team on several projects over the past two years as a production designer, and every experience has been such a great one! Their creativity, attention to detail, and commitment to producing beautiful work really shows in every project. The entire team is incredibly collaborative, organized, and thoughtful throughout the whole production process. They create an environment where everyone feels valued and trusted in their role, which makes it that much more rewarding to bring each project to life together. OpenLight is truly a talented and genuine group of people, and I’m always excited for the opportunity to work with them. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Openlight is an absolutely stellar team of people who are talented at what they do and know how to get the job done. Our event planning company works with plenty of clients who have very strong brand identities and it’s always important to pick a videography/photography team that can enhance any brand’s voice. We love working with Openlight because they always ask the right questions in pre-production and they show up on-site feeling sharp and ready to execute the vision. Their entire team is professional, polite and consistently bring great energy to every event. Thank you Openlight for all of the amazing work we’ve done together so far and cheers to many more projects in future!!

We partnered with OpenLight Films to create a short documentary highlighting Sport Court’s work with Eat.Learn.Play. The OpenLight team was fantastic to work with, and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. They did an excellent job capturing the story we wanted to tell while showcasing the impact of our work within the community. Throughout the project, the team was responsive, professional, and communicative, making the entire process seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend OpenLight Films and would gladly work with them again on future projects.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with OpenLight Films for the past 3 years, during which they created 4 exceptional videos for Safehub. The quality of their work is amazing, and the professionalism they bring to every project is truly impressive. Their process is incredibly organized and thorough, ensuring that every detail is addressed. Kyle and his team consistently go above and beyond to ensure the final product aligns perfectly with our expectations and goals. If you’re looking for a team that delivers high-quality videos, we can’t recommend Open Light Films enough. We’re excited to work with Kyle and his team again on future projects!

We’ve worked with many videographers over the years, but Openlight stands out for their rare combination of technical precision, aesthetic intuition, and calm under pressure. Their team integrates seamlessly with ours – professional, unobtrusive, and always capturing the moments we didn’t even know we needed. Highly recommended for anyone who values storytelling over spectacle.
