Argus HD produces broadcast quality commercials, streaming ad campaigns, and product films for San Francisco brands. From strategy through final delivery, we build spots that hold attention on television, connected TV, YouTube, and every social feed your audience lives on.
— Local SF Impact
Built for the Bay Area Market
San Francisco moves fast. Product cycles are tight, buyers are sharp, and brand attention is scarce. Argus HD partners with local advertisers, direct to consumer companies, and enterprise marketing teams to deliver commercial video that punches through the noise on television, streaming platforms, and social feeds where the Bay Area actually watches.
We combine broadcast standard camera work with clear positioning and sales driven messaging, so every commercial we deliver serves a defined result. That means more qualified leads, stronger brand recall, higher click through on paid social, and a creative asset library your team can rework across every channel.

Why Choose Argus HD
Commercial Video That Actually Moves the Metrics
Broadcast Standard Craft
Every commercial we ship is finished to true broadcast specifications. Color, audio, and delivery formats meet the specs demanded by television networks, streaming platforms, and premium publishers, so your spot runs anywhere without a scramble.
Strategy Before Cameras
We start with your positioning, media plan, and target buyer before we ever prep a shot list. That means the creative is aimed at a real outcome such as lead volume, brand recall, retail sell through, or app installs from day one.
One Team, One Timeline
From script through final master, one senior producer owns the schedule. Nothing gets handed off to outside vendors, so the deadline you agree to on day one is the deadline the finished commercial lands on.

Studio and On Location Flexibility
Whether we bring full multi-camera packages, broadcast lighting grids, and pro sound rigs to your brand headquarters, retail location, or a working set anywhere in the Bay Area, or shoot inside our fully equipped green screen broadcast studio in South San Francisco, Argus HD owns every logistical detail so your marketing team never has to chase a vendor.
We handle filming permits with SFFilm and the Presidio Trust, certificates of insurance required by historic properties and hotel venues, and the power, network, and traffic control needed for exterior street shoots or rooftop hero shots across the city.
- Our Process
How We Produce a Commercial in 6 Steps
01
Discovery and Creative Brief
We map out your product story, target buyer, media plan, and the single call to action that has to land. That brief becomes the north star every creative decision points back to.
02
Concept and Storyboarding
Our creative directors deliver script options, mood boards, and shot for shot storyboards so you can approve the exact tone, pacing, and visual language before anything gets scheduled.
03
Pre Production Planning
We handle casting, location scouting, permits, insurance, wardrobe, props, and full production books. Every logistical detail is locked before the crew ever leaves the loading dock.
04
Filming and Direction
On set, a senior director leads a broadcast crew running cinema cameras, professional audio, HMI and LED lighting, and live monitoring so approvals happen in real time on the client village monitor.
05
Edit, Color, and Sound
Award trained editors cut the story, colorists shape the look on calibrated reference monitors, and audio engineers mix voiceover, music, and sound design in a treated post suite.
06
Delivery and Trafficking
You receive broadcast masters, ProRes files, YouTube and Meta cutdowns, vertical and square variants, captions, and station trafficking specs so media buyers can push the spot live the same day.
