San Jose & Silicon Valley Video Production
Documentary-style video production for San Jose and Silicon Valley — brand and customer stories, summit and event coverage, and documentary films for tech companies, public agencies, and nonprofits across the South Bay.
I'm Leo Moring, a Bay Area documentary filmmaker and videographer. I create brand stories and documentary films for companies, nonprofits, and sports and outdoor organizations — planning, shooting, and editing. Every project is solo-led: I direct, shoot, and edit, with crew scaled per project.
What I produce in San Jose and Silicon Valley
Summit & event coverage — Multi-camera coverage of conferences and company summits: a highlight film, interview cuts, and full session edits scoped per event. Highlight and social edits get a first draft in 7–10 business days.
Brand & customer stories — Documentary-style films about the people a product serves — the format that survives a procurement review, because it shows real customers instead of describing them.
Documentary films — Short documentary spotlights and longer documentary projects for organizations with a story that deserves more than an ad.
Agency & media-team support — Filming and equipment support for in-house media teams that need a trusted shooter on the ground in the South Bay.

FAQs
- How much does video production cost in San Jose?
- The same published ranges as the rest of the Bay Area: short films $5,000–$8,000, campaign films $8,000–$20,000, documentary projects $20,000–$60,000+, and event or summit coverage $10,000–$30,000 — driven by shoot days, locations, interviews, crew, and edit time.
- Do you travel to San Jose, or are you based there?
- I'm a Bay Area-based documentary videographer and I work across the region, San Jose included. Travel within the region is a normal part of the schedule — say where the shoot is when you inquire, and it's planned into the quote.
- Can you cover a summit at our campus or a venue like the convention center?
- Yes — summits are a core format: multi-camera session coverage, interviews, and a highlight film. Small events run 3 cameras with 2 crew; larger summits scale up to 8 cameras. Book summits at least 3 weeks out where possible.
- We have an in-house team. Can you just shoot?
- Yes — I regularly support in-house media teams with filming and equipment (that's exactly my role with VTA's media team). Editing stays with your team; the footage is delivered through whatever channel is easiest for you.
- What about filming permits in San Jose?
- Public-location filming in San Jose can require a permit through the city's film office, and private campuses and venues have their own rules. We confirm what your location needs during planning, before the shoot day — permits are part of pre-production, not a surprise on the day.
- How far ahead should we book?
- For events and summits, 3+ weeks is comfortable; for gala films, 2–3 months. For films without a fixed date, the honest answer is: as soon as the story is clear — editing calendars fill before shoot calendars do.
