Why Video Production in San Francisco is Key to Elevating Your Brand

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, high-quality video content is a must for brands that want to stand out. As a leading San Francisco video production company, The Werehaus has been helping businesses in the SF Bay Area create impactful, engaging videos that resonate with audiences. But why is professional video production so important for your brand, and why should you choose a local partner?

The Power of Video for Brand Growth

Video content has become one of the most powerful tools for driving engagement, increasing brand awareness, and converting potential customers. Whether it’s a commercial, a product demo, or an interview with your CEO, video allows you to tell your story in a way that text and images simply can’t. Video grabs attention, evokes emotion, and encourages people to take action.

In fact, recent studies show that video can increase conversions by up to 80%. But not just any video will do—it takes quality production, a creative approach, and a strategic distribution plan to ensure your video has the impact you want.

Why Choose a San Francisco Video Production Company?

San Francisco is home to some of the most innovative companies in the world, and your brand deserves a production partner who understands the unique demands of this fast-moving market. As a San Francisco video production studio, we bring a deep understanding of the local culture and trends, allowing us to create videos that speak directly to your audience.

At The Werehaus, we offer full-service video production, meaning we handle everything from creative development and scripting to production and post-production. We work closely with our clients to ensure that each video aligns with their brand’s goals and communicates the right message.

The Benefits of Working with a Local Bay Area Video Production Team

When you work with a local SF Bay Area video production company like The Werehaus, you’re not just getting a production crew—you’re getting a collaborative partner. We know the local market, we understand the needs of Bay Area brands, and we’re equipped with the expertise and equipment to bring your vision to life.

Plus, working with a local team means we can offer a more hands-on approach. From scouting locations in San Francisco to collaborating on set in the Bay Area, our team is with you every step of the way.

Erik Otto was in NYC recently so we took the time to film a short video of him racing the JMZ train on the Williamsburg Bridge. Nothing beats riding into Manhattan because it’s scenic and it’s often times faster than taking the train. When it approaches, the whole bridge shakes and you feel the energy of the trains through your body. It’s common to look over and see people in the train looking at you – on both ends thinking about who will make it to the other side first.

Recently, we acquired some new equipment so this was a great time to test it out. The drone footage was all shot on the DJI Phantom 4 which Terry had only flown a couple of times. We didn’t want to draw too much attention to ourselves so this shot was our only chance and Terry nailed it. The rest was filmed riding next to Erik with a Pilotfly 3 Axis Gimble. Also, gotta stick a GoPro shot in there somewhere!

Getaway has tiny cabins tucked away in the Catskills which is just a few hours outside of NYC. It’s easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of living in cities, so we took a mid-week break to check out the surrounding areas. We loaded the Zipcar up with mostly camera gear (some clothes/snacks) and left from Brooklyn on our way upstate. Before we knew it, we started to get the small town vibes of New York. There were plenty of photo opportunities on our drive so we took took mandatory detours to enjoy them. Here’s the video and some photos of our trip!

Once we turned off the main road, the cabin was tucked away behind a few trees. We all quickly got out and eagerly explored. It had enough space for the 3 of us, a shower, space age toilet, cooking setup, and lots of cabin related knick-knacks. Most importantly, the place has plenty of windows to let in the natural light. We got the connection to nature like your camping – with a few amenities of modern living. Got to keep the camera batteries charged!

I wanted to video to show our Getaway experience and the importance taking a break from our day-to-day lives. You get to appreciate the simply things of just making food, taking swim/hike, and staring at a fire. We used the cabin as a home base in between our search of photos and swimming holes. This is already bringing back to nature as I sit here with the AC on and someone honking their horn.

Deluxe and Number 22 are two names that we were quickly familiarized with as soon as NY became our new home. Deluxe is a beautiful bike shop run out of Bedstuy by our friend Wilis. Not only do they carry a healthy stock of Number 22 frames, but Wilis also happens to be a part of the Number 22 team. So of course it only made sense for us to collaborate on a video capturing Wilis shredding his Number 22 Little Wing. What resulted is a perfect juxtaposition of scenic New Jersey alongside the craziness of New York, with a small taste of the T-Town Velodrome added in for good measure.

Reggaeton Revolución was produced this past year in Cuba, and follows some of Cuba’s most recognized artists from all over the island. It was filmed alongside Lisette Poole who is a Cuban-American photographer based in Havana.

Reggaeton Revolucion: Cuba in the Digital Era from WEREHAUS on Vimeo.

Lisette has been photographing Reggaeton artists for a while, and on a recent trip to New York we made plans to film a documentary. A few months later we followed up before I booked my ticket to Cuba. During that time, the travel restrictions were just beginning to open up, and Obama’s effort to normalize relations began to take place. As I traveled through Mexico City, en route to Havana, it began to sink in. I had no idea what to expect and was blown away the moment I got off the plane. It felt like traveling back in time and I have lots of footage of the iconic vintage cars. After I got used to the obvious visual differences, I began to realize the similarities of Cuba to other parts of the world.

Filming this documentary allowed me to experience a different side of the country that people may not get a chance to see. I was able to be in people homes, see the daily life of Cubans, and learn the intricacies of their music industry. I wanted to portray these artists from a slightly different perspective and give the viewer a behind-the-scenes look into their lives. The amount of effort they put into their music showed the dedication to their goal of playing around the world. These parallels are the same as all musicians – and the Cuban dream is no different.

Got the chance to link up with NOSAJ THING x DAITO MANABE at Williamsburg Music Hall on their NO REALITY TOUR. The show is an audio/visual experience that uses augmented reality, 3D scanning, and motion capture technology. They just got off the plane from Coachella and headed straight to the venue for soundcheck. As I got to the venue, everyone was busy setting up. The crew plugging away on their computers, looking at complex programs, and glimpses of visuals began to pop up. I started to hear the music playing in the background as they made sure everything worked correctly.

NO REALITY: NOSAJ THING x DAITO MANABE from WEREHAUS on Vimeo.

As the crowd began showing up the energy started to build. They we’re getting ready on the side stage making sure all the motion trackers were working correctly. When the time was right, everyone looked at each other and walked on stage.

The show was captivating and you could see the reaction on the crowd’s faces. I’ve never seen anything like this in a live setting, so I started running around catching clips of the performance. The vibe was right and after the show you could overhear people trying to figure out how they pulled it off. Cheers to the NOSAJ team!

This recent Erik Otto video was shot a few months ago, during a very rainy SF El Nino weekend. It was towards the end of December and we were all eager to have content ready to launch for the New Year. Erik especially had a lot going on: a new studio renovation, new work, and constantly out exploring the city. We had talked about filming another video for some time and wanted to center it around the next phase/chapter in his career. Fast forward a couple months – and here you have it.

Erik Otto: From One Place To The Next from WEREHAUS on Vimeo.

I wanted to capture a behind the scenes look into his world, and show the work ethic he brings to his art. I’m constantly trying to find people who are working towards their goals in the respective paths. Erik has always been grinding away in his studio and having shows in various local and international cities. It’s been years…not sure how many exactly. When we were done filming, I got a chance to record a conversation and it revolved around having new experiences to draw from. Erik’s at the point where he’s searching for next step (or the next place) and what it may bring to his art. From the way it looks, it seems like there will be a lot to come in the near future.

It’s been a few since we posted an Analog Almanac. This was our first winter in New York. We endured the blizzard known as Jonas, flew to San Francisco to escape the snowfall in New York, then took a road trip to chase the snow fall in Wyoming. Here’s a few snaps from some of our travels in no particular order. These photos were shot with a Hasselblad Xpan and Nikon Lite Touch using Kodak Elite 100.

This past summer we filmed our 3rd music video “Never More” with Crashing Hotels. The video was shot in NYC (around SOHO) during a warm weekend. We met up at the park in the morning for a quick chat before making our way through the streets. Most of it was storyboarded out, but you can only plan so much because of how we were tackling this video. Multiple takes that were going well had to be re-filmed to get because of the unpredictability of city streets. It felt like we were dancing with the city in way. People were constantly ask us questions, try and avoid being in our shot, or stop and just watch. We put ourselves out there and we’re getting instant feedback from people along the way. _DSF7684 _DSF8140 _DSF7464 Anastasia was amazing to work with. Not only was she a team player when we had to do multiple takes, she brought her own personality to the table. There was a quality to her expressions that’s hard to explain. AO (from Crashing Hotels) would direct her to feel a certain way, move, and she would make it her own. When we casted her, we made sure we got permission from her mom with the ending of the film. She seemed to understand the concepts we gave her and they were relevant at her age also. She’s going places in this world! The video was shot mostly on a ronin with Terry and I at the controls. It was the only way to get some of the shots we were looking for and the movement that was required for the video. Jorge snuck in a couple drone shots for us a while later rounding it out. The VHS filter was added later during post to give it the treatment to match the era. We wanted to blend the modern tool with a older look. We’re always challenging each other’s ideas, and this video was no different. What your left with is not only a video, but the process of production that you remember. The hard work all pays off when walk away with something everyone is proud of. Each video starts with, “What’s the next video?” We already put it out there Previous videos below.

Souls of San Francisco is a storytelling project started by Dijon Bowden. Through photography and short interviews, it aims to connect people in the community and share the unique personalities of San Francisco.

Souls of San Francisco: California Dreaming from WEREHAUS on Vimeo.

This past July, Our friend Frank Clary passed away in a car accident. Dijon and I had a chance to talk during one of his many memorials. Our conversation led to the importance of documenting the people around us, and collaborating with each other. Dijon’s photo of Frank really captured a moment of time which passed. It continues to resonate with people who see the images. I knew I wanted to make a film in memory of Frank. This project with Dijon started developing in the weeks to follow. Many of the themes we explored were inspired by how Frank lived his life and explores why we should create the work we do. Our circle of friends have become closer and hopefully this video is a reminder of how important it is to connect with each other.
