I would recommend Crystal Pyramid Production to anyone looking to film anything. They did a video for my company called Pest Patrol. They worked my crazy schedule and did an amazing job showcasing all of the amazing services we have to offer. Since having these videos made, we have definitely noticed an increase in business. Thank You Mark and Patty!

Its safe to say Crystal Pyramid is our go-to team for all SoCal productions. This team always goes above and beyond for our clients and we will continue to use their services for all of our production needs.

The team at Crystal Pyramid Productions have been amazing to work with. Being an out-of-towner, Mark made sure we had everything that we needed for the shoot to go by without a hitch. He even recommended a few places that we should check out while we were in town. I look forward to coming back to San Diego next year to work with these wonderful folks!

It’s always a pleasure working with Crystal Pyramid Productions. It’s reassuring to know that I’m in good hands no matter what might come up. At the last minute I found out our event planner had not ordered a number of items for our shoot. I asked them where I might find the stuff in San Diego. They took care of everything themselves! Also, our schedule changed two days before the shoot – no problem! They made all the necessary adjustments and the shoot went off without a hitch. I love how Mark always refers to a shoot as : we’re having fun, playing! What a great attitude!
