Andrei Tone, Owner and Production Director, Tone Films San Jose
A Note From Andrei

I read every inquiry that comes through our San Jose video production company.

Tone Films isn’t a video agency that grew big and lost the obsession that built it. Our San Jose studio on West San Carlos Street is run by the same four-person team that directs Tone Films projects in 31 cities — serving Silicon Valley tech companies, startups, universities, and Bay Area brands. I direct every project. David shoots and edits every frame. Grace shapes every story. Elias designs every home for the films online.

If you reach out, you’re talking to me — not a sales rep, not an account manager. That’s the deal. It’s why we’ve held a perfect 5.0 across 1,652+ Google reviews, and it’s why every project we deliver looks like our best one yet.

Frequently Asked

Everything you need to know about hiring a San Jose video production company.

How much does video production cost in San Jose?
San Jose video production typically ranges from $7,500 for short-form social content to $60,000+ for full commercial and product-launch productions. Most corporate, product, and brand films for Silicon Valley companies land between $10,000 and $45,000. As a San Jose video production company, Tone Films sends a free, fixed-fee quote within 24 hours — no hidden line items.
What areas does your San Jose video production company serve?
All of San Jose — Downtown, Midtown, Willow Glen, Santana Row, North San Jose, Japantown, and Evergreen — plus Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Cupertino, Milpitas, Campbell, Los Gatos, Menlo Park, Fremont, San Mateo, and San Francisco.
What types of companies do you work with in San Jose?
We produce video for enterprise software and SaaS companies, semiconductor and hardware makers, AI and deep-tech startups, venture-backed founders, healthcare and life-sciences organizations, universities, nonprofits, and national brands filming in the Bay Area.
Can you handle filming permits in San Jose and California?
Yes. We coordinate city location permits for San Jose and neighboring cities, and follow California Film Commission guidance on state locations. We also handle location agreements for corporate campuses, offices, and event venues.
Do you offer drone videography in San Jose?
Yes. We’re FAA Part 107 licensed and request LAANC authorization for controlled airspace around San José Mineta International Airport, which covers much of downtown. Campus flyovers and aerial establishing shots are popular with our Silicon Valley clients.
How long does it take to produce a video in San Jose?
Most projects at our San Jose video production company take 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff to final delivery: one week of pre-production, 1–2 shoot days, and 1–2 weeks of editing and revisions. Rush projects — like launch-week content — can be delivered in 3–10 business days.
Can you produce product launch and keynote videos?
Yes. Our San Jose team produces launch films, product demos, keynote openers, and customer-story videos, and can cover the live event with multi-cam crews and same-day social cutdowns.
Why hire a San Jose video production company instead of a freelancer?
A production company brings a full crew, redundant cinema gear, $2M liability insurance (required by most corporate campuses and event venues), a producer handling permits and logistics, and an editor and colorist working in parallel. That means fewer reshoots and a finished film that holds up.
What sets Tone Films apart from other San Jose video production companies?
Three things: (1) a cinematic, story-first approach — every shoot is directed like a short film, not a corporate checklist; (2) national-brand experience (Grey Goose, KFC, Tabasco, Hendrick’s Gin, Waste Management) without national-agency overhead; and (3) a perfect 5.0 rating across 1,652+ Google reviews in the 31 cities we serve.
