We specialize in corporate video production, executive communications, event filming, livestreaming, quarterly earnings meetings, all-hands broadcasts, and brand storytelling for Fortune 100 companies across San Francisco.

How quickly can Argus HD start my video production project in San Francisco?

For simple interview shoots we can typically start within one to two weeks. Larger productions may need additional lead time for scripting, locations, permits, and crew coordination.

Do you handle video production permits in San Francisco?

Yes. We manage all permits, insurance, and location logistics across San Francisco, including SoMa, downtown, and surrounding Bay Area locations, so your team doesn't have to.

Can you film at our office or do we need a studio?

Both. We shoot on location at your office, conference room, or event venue across San Francisco, or you can use our fully equipped green screen broadcast studio in South San Francisco.

Yes. We produce multi-camera live streams and hybrid events with remote guests, branded graphics and bonded backup, streaming to YouTube, LinkedIn Live, Zoom, Vimeo, Facebook Live, X and custom RTMP destinations.

What is the difference between video production and videography?

Videography is operating the camera on the day. Video production covers the full process: strategy, scripting, location scouting, permits, directing, lighting, audio, editing, color grading, motion graphics and delivery. Argus HD is a full-service video production company.

How do you help executives who are nervous on camera?

We use teleprompters, conversational interview techniques and short rehearsals, and our director coaches on pacing, eye line and tone. A calm, prepared set is the fastest way to a natural performance.

Do you travel outside San Francisco?

Yes. We work across the Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, Marin, Palo Alto, Mountain View and San Jose, and nationally from our New York office and with trusted crews in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Our Process

How We Run Your Live Stream

Pre-Event Planning

We start with a thorough discovery call to understand your event goals, audience size, platform requirements, and venue setup. We develop a run of show, assign crew roles, and build failsafe plans for every technical scenario. Nothing is left to chance.

Rehearsal & Technical Setup

Before go-live, we conduct a full technical rehearsal — testing camera angles, audio levels, streaming platform connections, graphics, and remote presenter feeds. If something's going to go wrong, we find it in rehearsal, not on air.

Live Production & Real-Time Monitoring

During the event, our team actively manages every element: live switching, audio monitoring, platform stability, graphics display, and remote participant coordination. You focus on your content; we focus on the broadcast.

Post-Event Recording & Delivery

Every stream is recorded in high quality. After your event, we deliver your recording promptly — ready to repurpose for on-demand viewing, social media clips, or internal archives. Need a highlight reel or edited cut-downs? We offer full post-production too.

What Is Included

What's Included in Our Live Streaming Production Services

Multi-Camera Live Streaming

We deploy multiple professional cameras ,stationary, roaming, and PTZ with seamless live switching for a dynamic, broadcast-quality viewer experience. Every angle is covered; every transition is smooth.

Hybrid & Virtual Event Production

We seamlessly connect in-person audiences with remote participants integrating remote presenters, managing virtual audience feeds, and maintaining broadcast-quality across both experiences. Your online attendees get the same professionalism as those in the room.

Live Captions & Accessibility

We integrate real-time live captioning services for both on-screen display and closed caption delivery making your event accessible to every audience member.

Post-Event Recording & Editing

Every stream is recorded in full. We can also deliver individual camera recordings, highlight sizzle reels, and session cut-downs for future use. Your event investment doesn't end when the stream does.

FAQ

Live Streaming Questions, Answered

Questions we hear before the first call.

Do you handle both small and large events?

Yes, we scale to any event size. A single-camera webinar for 50 remote attendees gets the same professional attention as a 1,000-person hybrid conference with multiple platforms and remote presenters. We tailor the crew size and equipment to your specific needs.

What if the venue's internet connection goes down?

We plan for this before every event. For mission-critical streams, we bring backup encoders and redundant network devices including cellular bonding options so a single connection failure doesn’t take your broadcast down. We’ve never had an event go dark due to a connection issue.

Can you stream to multiple platforms simultaneously?

Yes. We can simulcast simultaneously to YouTube, LinkedIn Live, Facebook, Vimeo, Zoom, and private streaming platforms. We configure all platform accounts, manage stream keys, and monitor every destination in real time.

Is live captioning available?

Yes. We work with live captioning services to provide both closed and open captions on your stream and at the live event venue. This is available as an add-on to any package.

How much does live streaming cost?

Pricing depends on event scale, crew size, platform requirements, and services included. We’re transparent about costs after a short scoping call, we provide a fixed, itemized quote with no surprise charges after the event. Reach out to get a quote tailored to your event.

How early should I book?

As early as possible. For simple streams, we can sometimes accommodate two weeks’ notice. For complex multi-camera events, hybrid setups, or events with custom graphics, 4–6 weeks of lead time allows us to plan properly and do your event justice.

Do you provide post-event recordings?

Yes , every stream is recorded by default. We deliver the full recording in high quality after the event. We also record individual camera feeds when needed. If you’d like a highlight reel, edited session cut-downs, or social media clips, our post-production team can handle that too.

Can you stream from any location in San Francisco?

Yes , we work from any venue in San Francisco, the Bay Area, and anywhere in the domestic United States. We assess venue internet connectivity in advance and bring the equipment needed to ensure reliable delivery regardless of location.
