In-Studio and On-Location Video Production in San Diego
Our studio includes a 20-by-30-foot white cyclorama wall with enough space for multi-person productions. Use it for a clean, pared-down visual style or transform it with full set design to match your project’s look.
We also shoot on location throughout San Diego for commercial productions, interviews, events, product work, and branded content.
Our production capabilities include a multi-camera cinema kit, wireless lavaliers, boom and shotgun microphones, hidden microphones, a full lighting package, and multicam livestreaming equipment. Drone footage is also available with an FAA Part 107-certified pilot and insured drone operations, subject to location and airspace requirements.
Whether the project takes place in our studio or at your office, venue, event space, or another San Diego location, we build the production setup around what the finished video needs to accomplish.
Planning a studio or on-location shoot? Share the setting and type of content you need, and we can recommend the crew, cameras, lighting, audio, and production setup.
Our Commercial Video Production Process
Our structured process gives clients one team to handle the creative, technical, and logistical details from initial planning through final delivery. This makes the production easier to coordinate and keeps the finished video aligned with your goals.
Discovery and Creative Direction
We start with a phone call to talk through your creative vision, what you need the video to accomplish, the deliverables you have in mind, and your budget.
Since every commercial project is different, we build the quote around your scope. If you don’t have a set budget, we can recommend a production approach based on your vision, including crew size, cameras, specialized gear, locations, and other production needs.
Scripting and Pre-Production
You can provide your own script, or we can work through the scriptwriting process with you. Some clients want full creative control. Others prefer to share their goals and feedback while our creative team develops the structure.
Before shoot day, we confirm final requests, collect brand assets such as logos and company colors, and review reference videos to align on the visual direction, editing style, and deliverables. We can handle these details through email, phone, or Zoom depending on what works best for your team.
Shoot Day
For studio shoots, we set up and test the cameras, lighting, audio, and other production equipment before you arrive. For on-location productions around San Diego, we arrive early to set up and prepare the space before filming begins.
That preparation keeps the day focused on capturing the content you came to create instead of spending your scheduled filming time assembling gear.
Editing and First Draft
After filming, our editing team starts on your first cut. The typical turnaround for a first draft of a highlight video is five to ten business days, depending on the project scope.
If you request RAW footage and don’t provide your own SSD or hard drive at the shoot, Bauman Photographers can typically deliver the files within 48 hours.
Revisions and Final Delivery
Once you receive the first draft, you can submit changes for one revision round before final delivery. We typically return that first revision within five business days. However, additional revision rounds are quoted separately.
Already have a concept, script, or launch date? Share what you have so far, and our team can map out the scripting, shoot requirements, deliverables, and production schedule around it.
Commercial Video Production Pricing
We custom-quote commercial video projects based on scope, crew, production requirements, and final deliverables.
Final pricing depends on the production scope, number of shoot days, crew requirements, locations, equipment, editing needs, deliverables, and other creative elements. We review those details early so your quote reflects the production you are planning, not a one-size-fits-all package.
If you already have a budget range, we can discuss how to structure the production around it. If you don’t, tell us what you want to create, and we can recommend an approach based on the scope.
Share your intended video, number of deliverables, timeline, and budget range, and we can build a custom production quote around the scope.
Why Work With Bauman Photographers?
Bauman Photographers has served commercial photography clients since 2002, and our current Mission Valley studio has been home to the team since 2019. Our video team brings more than a decade of corporate production experience to each project.
Clients have a single point of contact across scripting, production, editing, revisions, and delivery, keeping feedback and production details with the same team from the first call through final files. That continuity helps keep feedback, creative decisions, and logistics organized from the first conversation through the final files.
We prioritize careful preparation, responsive communication, and detailed project management, which helps when your production involves executives, venues, schedules, or multiple stakeholders. When you're coordinating multiple deliverables, having a team that responds quickly can make a meaningful difference.
Our ability to provide photography and video together also gives San Diego businesses the option to create both types of visual assets during the same production, with one team keeping the look consistent across the project.
Commercial Video Case Studies
Our commercial work spans events, brand launches, product-focused videos, and corporate content for clients across several industries.
Ram’s Gate Winery
Bauman Photographers produced event and brand launch video content for Ram’s Gate Winery, a Sonoma winery known for its estate, hospitality experiences, and wine-focused events.
The final video combines footage of the property, guests, event details, and branded moments to convey the launch atmosphere through the experience itself. By covering both the setting and the people within it, we created a more complete visual story that represented the event while reinforcing the character of the Ram’s Gate Winery brand.
For businesses planning a launch or experiential event, this shows our video production team can structure coverage around more than documentation. We can capture the environment, interactions, details, and key moments so the final edit feels like a cohesive branded video rather than a simple event recap.
Working on a similar launch, event, corporate, or product project? Tell our team where the video will be used, and we can shape the production and deliverables around that purpose.
