LIVEEVENT VIDEO // SAN FRANCISCO
Argus HD provides event video production in San Francisco for conferences, keynotes, product launches and all-hands meetings. One senior crew films every session in multi-camera, streams it live to your remote audience and delivers a same-day highlight reel, session recordings and social cutdowns, all from a fixed, line-item quote.
TRUSTED BY
San Francisco event video production company
Argus HD is a San Francisco event video production company that films, live streams and edits conferences, keynotes, product launches and company meetings for technology brands, agencies and event teams across the Bay Area. Our studio is in South San Francisco, and our crews work on site from Moscone Center and Yerba Buena to Chase Center, Fort Mason, the Presidio and Silicon Valley campuses.
Events do not allow second takes. That is why the same producer scopes your event, walks the venue, runs the cameras on show day and signs off the edit. You get one run-of-show, one call sheet and one delivery package, whether it is a single fireside chat or a three-day, multi-room user conference.
This page covers filming and editing. For stage A/V, lighting, audio and show crew, see our corporate event A/V production service. If your event is in a hotel ballroom, our hotel A/V production team handles the venue side.

Why Argus HD
Producer, camera, audio and streaming leads who work together every week, not strangers who met at load-in.
Every project starts with a line-item quote and a written scope, so budgets and deliverables are clear before production.
Load-in rules, dock times and house A/V at Moscone Center, Chase Center, Yerba Buena and the city's major hotels.
Our founder crewed YouTube's first live event and early Facebook F8 streams. That experience runs every show.

WHAT AFFECTS THE COST
FAQ
Event video production in San Francisco is priced by crew size, number of cameras, hours on site, live streaming and how fast you need the edit. A single session needs one or two cameras, while a multi-day conference needs several crews. Argus HD sends a fixed, line-item quote after a free 15-minute scoping call.
A same-day sizzle reel can be ready before your closing session or by the next morning. Highlight films and edited session recordings usually take 5 to 10 business days, and rush edits are available.
Yes. One switched program goes out to YouTube, LinkedIn Live, Zoom, Vimeo or your own player while every camera records for the edit. You also receive a clean recording of the full program after the show.
Most keynotes work best with three cameras: a wide shot, a close-up of the speaker and a camera on the audience or panel, plus the slide feed. Breakout rooms often need one or two. We recommend a setup on the scoping call based on your rooms and goals.
Event videography is filming the event. Event video production covers the whole job: planning against your run-of-show, a site survey, multi-camera filming, live switching and streaming, editing, color, sound, captions and delivery. Argus HD handles all of it with one crew.
You own the final videos for marketing, internal and social use. Raw camera files are available on request, organized by session and day.
Yes. We coordinate load-in and the house A/V patch with your venue, provide certificates of insurance, and manage SF Film Commission, park and drone permits when exterior shots are needed.
Yes. We scale to several crews across rooms and days, with a producer coordinating every room against the run-of-show so each session is recorded and labeled correctly.
Your run-of-show, room list, speaker list, slide decks or the stage display feed, branding for graphics and a contact on the venue A/V team. We send a checklist after the scoping call.
Yes. We film events across the Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, Napa, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Santa Clara and San Jose, and we work nationally from our New York office.
Yes. We set up a lit, miked interview corner on the show floor to capture speakers, customers and sponsors the same day, which saves a separate shoot later.
Book a free 15-minute call or send your date, venue and run-of-show through our contact page. We confirm crew availability and send a fixed, line-item quote. For large conferences, book as early as you can.
