What It’s Like Filming in Oakland
Filming in Oakland, California gives you access to a rich blend of urban charm and scenic beauty. Iconic spots like Jack London Square, Lake Merritt, and Downtown Oakland’s historic Fox Theater provide dynamic backdrops full of character. Each neighborhood—from the colorful murals of the Temescal District to the industrial chic of the Port—offers unique visuals.
Permits are typically required for public filming, especially in high-traffic zones like Uptown Oakland or near landmarks. We make it easy by coordinating with the Oakland Film Office, taking care of logistics like street closures, parking, and any necessary police detail to keep your production running on time.
☀️ Pro Tip: The Oakland East Bay enjoys relatively mild weather, but sudden fog or coastal winds can impact outdoor shoots—especially in the evening. We build in flexibility and plan around Bay Area traffic patterns to ensure everything stays on track.
Popular filming locations include Oakland Museum of California, the sweeping cityscape views from the Redwood Regional Park Overlook, and the vibrant waterfront at Jack London Square. Working with an experienced Oakland videographer ensures your production is smooth, professional, and visually compelling.

FAQS - Hiring a Videographer in Oakland
How much does a videographer cost in Oakland?
Rates start around $1,800 for a half-day, single-camera shoot and range up to $15-20 K for multi-day productions with crew, drones, and full post-production. We build estimates line-by-line so you only pay for the crew, gear, and edit time you need.
What types of videos do your Oakland crews shoot most often?
Corporate explainers, executive interviews, social-media highlights, industrial B-roll in the Flats, and event recaps at venues. We also handle product spots and documentary segments.
How far in advance should I book?
For weekday shoots, 2–3 weeks’ notice secures crew and permits; prime weekends and large events can fill 4–6 weeks out. Last-minute requests (< 72 h) are possible if gear and crew are free—call us to confirm availability.
Can you arrange filming permits for public locations in Oakland?
Yes. We coordinate with the Film Commission and city services to secure street, park, or drone permits, including insurance certificates and road-closure notices when required.
Do you offer both ground and aerial coverage in the same shoot?
Absolutely. Our Part 107-licensed pilots fly drones alongside our ground camera team, delivering seamless edits that blend sweeping aerials with dynamic on-the-ground storytelling.
What’s the typical turnaround time for edited videos?
A social-media cut can be delivered within 48 hours; standard corporate packages average 7–10 business days. Need it faster? Ask about our rush-edit option.
