A few months ago, we decided to build an in-house video studio in our office. The STMNT team consulted with us on how to properly outfit the space and has since shot and edited three video projects. They’ve been involved throughout the entire creative process, forming strong partnerships and consistently pushing creative boundaries while staying true to our vision. I’ll definitely continue working with STMNT - they’ve been an incredible partner, and I can’t recommend them enough.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

San Francisco video production costs depend on scope and ambition. Interviews run in the $3K to $15K range, brand films typically run $15K to $50K+, commercial productions $25K to $150K+, and corporate or campaign content $8K to $30K. What those numbers buy you at STMNT is a full crew, in-house studio access (if needed) at 888 O'Farrell, and a team that works directly inside your brand system without a layer of account management in between. We scope every project after a 15-minute discovery call and turn around a detailed estimate within 24-48 hours.

We are built to function as the production arm your internal team does not have. Most of our clients at companies like Plaid or Rippling have strong brand direction and creative leadership already in place. They do not need another agency telling them who they are. They need a San Francisco video production partner who can take a brief, execute it at a high level, and deliver content that holds up against anything produced at a much higher cost. We slot into your existing workflow, respect your review cycles, and operate without the overhead of a full-time production hire.

STMNT Studios is a San Francisco video production company specializing in interviews, brand films, commercial production, product marketing videos, corporate and executive content, interview series, and social content. We handle strategy through final delivery for tech, fintech, CPG, healthcare, and retail brands across the Bay Area and beyond. Every project is produced in-house by our core team, with no handoffs.

Our studio at 888 O'Farrell in San Francisco is a full production environment, not just a rentable room. It includes a professional lighting, cyc wall, green screen, client lounge, and onsite technical support. When you shoot here, you have the infrastructure of a production house without booking out a commercial stage. Studio rental clients get the space alone or with full crew support. It is one of the most-booked independent video studios in the Bay Area, with over 200 five-star reviews, and it is available for brand shoots, founder content production, product photography, interviews, podcast production, and campaign content.

Smaller interview and talking-head productions can move from brief to final cut in as little as a few days to two weeks. For larger productions, a typical San Francisco video production runs four to eight weeks from kickoff to delivery — one to two weeks for pre-production and creative development, one to three days of principal photography, and two to four weeks of post-production with revision rounds. For marketing teams working against campaign deadlines, we can compress timelines with additional resources. We are used to moving at the pace of a fast-moving tech or CPG team.

Most production companies are either a freelancer with good gear or a large agency with significant overhead baked into every invoice. STMNT sits in a different position: the execution layer your creative in-house team actually needs. A full-service San Francisco video production studio with a dedicated space, a consistent core team, and a track record with enterprise and growth-stage brands that have real production standards. You get the in-house team without the overhead — senior-level execution, no account management markup, no subcontracted crew you have never met. That is the model we have built since opening our doors in 2018.

Yes. Our home base is San Francisco and we produce regularly across the Bay Area including Oakland, San Jose, Marin, and Palo Alto. We also travel for productions nationally and internationally for brands that want our production team on location. If your campaign shoots in New York, Los Angeles, or overseas, we travel with it.

Book a 15-minute discovery call at stmntstudios.com. We will talk through your goals, timeline, and budget, then send a scoped production plan within 48 hours. No commitment, no pitch deck. Just a direct conversation about whether STMNT is the right production partner for what you are building.

Yes. If your team has an editor or post house already in place, we can deliver organized raw footage, camera reports, and any on-set audio directly to your workflow. A lot of in-house teams have post covered — they just need a production partner who can execute the shoot at a high level and hand off clean, well-organized files. We are comfortable working either way.
