About
Our Story
Founded in 2016, our journey began with a passion for storytelling and a camera in hand. What started as an one man band has evolved to a small team of skilled creatives, dedicated to bringing visions to life through the lens. With a focus on quality and authenticity, we’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clientele, crafting compelling visual narratives that resonate and inspire. Every project is a new opportunity to tell a story that matters, and we’re here to make sure it’s told boldly and with heart.
Our Vision
At East Bay Video, our mission is to craft authentic and compelling videos that amplifies the voices of corporate and non-profit organizations. We are dedicated to transforming your vision into powerful stories that resonate with your audience, drive meaningful engagement, and inspire positive change.

The truth? It depends. Not the answer everyone is looking for, but our pricing really does vary depending on the project’s scope, length, and complexity. We offer customized quotes based on your budget and requirements.
Ah yes, the ol "it depends" again. The timeline usually depends on the project’s complexity, but typically, a standard video takes a couple weeks from pre production to filming, and 2-4 weeks from filming to final delivery. We can also accommodate faster timelines if needed, but there are usually additional costs associated with quicker turnarounds.
Absolutely! We provide full pre-production services, including scriptwriting, storyboarding, and creative consultation to bring your ideas into the world.
Easier than you might imagine! Simply reach out to us with your project idea, and we’ll schedule a consultation to discuss your needs. After that, we’ll provide a proposal and timeline to get started.
We sure do. If you already have footage, we can handle the post-production, including editing, sound design, motion graphics and color correction.
Sometimes. Although we sit more towards the higher budget category, we would still be happy to hear from you. Let us know your constraints, and we'll see about either tailoring our services to maximize the impact within your budget, or connecting you with an awesome up and coming video freelancer from our roster who can work within those limitations. It never hurts to check, right?
