How much does video production cost in Orange County?

Video production pricing depends on the scope of your project — factors like shoot days, locations, crew size, and post-production complexity all play a role. At Hilo Motion Pictures, our projects typically range from $2,500 for a simple product video to $15,000+ for multi-day cinematic productions. We offer free consultations and custom quotes for every project. Call us at (949) 449-4472 for a same-day estimate.

How long does it take to produce a video?

Most projects are completed within 2-4 weeks from concept to delivery, but we regularly deliver faster when timelines demand it. Our 10x faster turnaround is one of the reasons Orange County businesses choose Hilo — while other companies take weeks just for a first cut, we move at the speed your business requires. Rush delivery is always available.

What types of video production does Hilo offer?

We produce a full range of cinematic video content: corporate videos, real estate property tours, Amazon and e-commerce product videos, drone aerial footage, luxury yacht videography, crowdfunding campaign videos for Kickstarter and Indiegogo, brand films, lifestyle content, business profiles, animated explainers, and sizzle reels. Every project is shot with cinema-grade RED and ARRI cameras.

Do you work with businesses outside of Orange County?

Yes. While we're based in Newport Beach and serve Orange County, Laguna Beach, Irvine, and the surrounding areas daily, we regularly travel for productions throughout Southern California, Los Angeles, San Diego, and nationwide. We've produced content for clients coast to coast since 2003.

What makes Hilo different from other video production companies?

Three things set us apart: First, our crew comes from the film industry — PGA members, SXSW award winners, and crew from Emmy and Academy Award productions. Second, we use a proprietary color grading technique passed down from Technicolor Hollywood that gives our footage a distinct cinematic look. Third, you get 24/7 direct access to the director — no account managers, no gatekeepers.

Can I see examples of your work?

Absolutely. Visit our portfolio pages to see recent projects across every category: real estate tours, corporate profiles, product videos, drone footage, yacht productions, and more. You can also check out our client reviews — the word 'magic' shows up in nearly every one.

Do you offer drone video services?

Yes. We provide FAA Part 107 certified aerial drone videography for real estate, commercial properties, events, marina and yacht footage, and location tours throughout Orange County and Southern California. Our drone footage is shot in 4K and color-graded with the same cinematic treatment we apply to all our productions.

How do I get started?

Call or text the director directly at (949) 449-4472, or email director@hilomotionpictures.com. We offer free phone consultations to discuss your project, review scripts or reference videos, and provide a custom quote. Same-day response guaranteed, and we're available 24/7.
