Silicon Valley & San Francisco Bay Area Video Production
I provide video production, videography, and editing services for corporate, non-profit/education, and creative projects in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.
Scroll down for more information and rates, but first, here are some samples of my work.

Rates & Info
I aim to offer reasonable, transparent rates. The base rate for any project is $750, plus $75/hr of on-location, consulting, and editing time. Every project is unique - I would be happy to openly discuss with you how much time I think your project will require, and in many cases I can adjust to your budget while keeping expectations realistic.
There are many options for video production, from big production companies who do it all to individuals who specialize in particular aspects of production such as editors and videographers.
I fall somewhere in-between - the value proposition I provide is that I handle everything, like a big production company would, but at an individual price - and with the personal attention and ease of collaboration that comes with working with just me on your project.
I specialize in talking-head interview and similar videos, and instructional course videos (for e.g. Coursera style online courses). I am equipped to do almost anything you may require, but I will let you know if the resources that a big production company can bring are more appropriate for your project.
Accessibility is very important to me, and I film and record the audio with that in mind as much as is possible, and I provide text captioning as standard.
I can provide many types of animation and other design work, such as the logo animations in the sample videos. I do GIF animation as well, e.g. for marketing e-mails.

I do produce wedding films, but only with my partner, photographer Micaela Go. I work very closely integrated with her at the wedding to provide a cinematic add-on to her phenomenal still photography work. We also do marketing photography, events, creative and corporate headshots, product photography, etc.
