Nothing beats L.A. (and OC). Especially when it comes to shooting videos, there’s no better weather and no lack of interesting places. All the infrastructure and support systems to shoot any type of video is here.
Picturelab was born and grew in the San Francisco Bay Area – to be specific, Mountain View in the heart of Silicon Valley. After flourishing in the Bay Area primarily servicing tech companies, in 2022 we opened a second office in Irvine, CA, which has become Silicon Valley south. In fact, our Irvine office is located on Technology Drive.

From our presence in Irvine, we have been providing video production services to all different parts of Southern California, including all of Orange County and Los Angeles counties.
Now that we’ve had a few years under our belt working down here, here are some highlights from various projects.
Infrastructure is Amazing
Yes, it’s Hollywood and everything you need is here. When we needed costumes, we had access to thousands of different outfits from CBS’s own wardrobe warehouse.
Need a dolly or any other equipment? There are many different places to choose from.
All the best talent are down here as well from actors to crew.
Location Options
We’ve shot all over the SoCal area including Pasadena, DTLA, West L.A., Newport Beach and Santa Ana. There are so many people here and so many companies, there’s a significant amount of opportunities here.
You have everything from beaches, mountains, cities, to deserts. Amazing options.
One thing to always remember is traffic. Even in the middle of the day, on holidays and weekends, there’s always traffic. So if a call time is 8 AM, need to factor in additional time for travel.
Weather is Top Notch
The Bay Area isn’t bad, but definitely nothing beats Los Angeles and Orange County. This weather has also allowed us to use our drone more. We’re having too much fun and getting great b-roll footage of this beautiful landscape from the air.
Overall, our move to Southern California has been very successful. It’s surprising since there’s so much competition here, but we’re making it work. We’ve shot a wide range of different types of videos from commercials, customer testimonials to corporate promotions. We’re making a mark and having fun doing it.
