What Is Video Production in Newport Beach?
Video production in Newport Beach means a director, a crew and cinema-grade cameras with cinema lenses working from a private Orange County studio to plan, shoot and finish your film: the shot list, the shoot day, the edit, the grade and the delivery. Hilo Motion Pictures has done it since 2003, across more than 500 productions.
Every shoot is directed by Timothy Kline | CEO & Primary Director. We work across Orange County and have for 23+ years. More on our Orange County video production.

Orange Twist — Newport Beach Lifestyle Film, 2025
A Southern California med-spa brand needed a film that feels like its clients' lives, not a clinic tour. We shot in Newport Beach with talent, a hair and makeup team and full lighting, then cut a hero lifestyle film plus social edits. Cinema-grade cameras with cinema lenses, motion-picture color grade. One of several Orange Twist productions across the brand's locations.
"I can't say enough good things about Hilo Motion Pictures! As the director of a medical spa, we hired Tim and team to shoot a promotional video for our business to be played in all of our 15 locations.
Tim has extensive experience working in Hollywood and that level of professionalism really shines through. The equipment he used was top of the line, the shots he suggested were creative and artistic, and he provided very thoughtful direction. My team and I felt very comfortable during the shoot and we had so much fun!
Hilo also provided a "glam squad" so we could look and feel our best, as well as a professional model to include in our video, which just made it appear that much more polished.
Finally, we were surprised at how quickly the completed video was returned to us- and it looked so much better than any of us could have imagined! We had the most positive experience with Hilo and we will definitely be using them in the future."
