Crystal Pyramid Productions is a professional organization, timely, and generous with their knowledge. Not only did they have all the equipment we needed for a successful production shoot, they also offered the info we weren’t knowledgeable enough to know to ask. Great follow up, timely on the day of shoot, and great with people in front of a camera for the first time in their lives. Crystal Pyramid Productions did a great job for us; the quality of their product reflects well on our team. – Matt Thompson

It was a delight to work with Mark, Patty and their team. They provided Videography and Photography services for Iyengar Yoga Convention 2023, San Diego. – Srivarada Kota

Incredible, highly experienced team of artists. Essentially a fully functioning high-end studio located in a home that could easily pass as a quiet, lovely museum. Patty and Mark extended every courtesy to me, including expert opinions and motivation. Look no further… a truly well-hidden gem! – J R Nicolini

Mark and the team at Crystal Pyramid did a great job with a recent project. I was new to working on a film project and Mark made all of my options clear, explained what I needed and had a good vision for what I was trying to produce. I highly recommend Mark, Patty and John for your videography needs. – Christine Clay

I cannot thank you enough for the exceptional video education products you have helped our network create. We appreciate your flexibility and professionalism, and for being willing to share your extraordinary talents to help further our network’s mission to empower nurses. You can quote me on that. – Nurse Heather Manus

Family Health Centers of San Diego uses our video to introduce our agency and services to donors, community leaders and other social providers.  It makes such a difference to be able to show video footage of our clinics and the real faces of the patients we serve rather than just talking with handouts. – Jennette Lawrence

No ‘thank-you’ would be adequate for your marvelous work with the Barney theater tape. But… thank you. – Wally Schlotter

As you saw… the videos REALLY worked great today. Thank you for your professionalism… your hard work… your creativity…. and your sponsorship! We really couldn’t have pulled this off without you so THANK YOU very very much.  All the best… – Sal Giametti

 

Thank you for your assistance when we were filming at the University of New England last spring. Without your help, it would have been difficult to convey the variety of backgrounds represented by Elderhostelers, and the diversity we hope to encourage. – C.A. Goldfield

Mark was what you hope for in a veteran DP/shooter… communicative, punctual, hard-working, a problem-solver and professional every step of the way. He was doubling up as audio and handled everything with ease… and we got to chat along the way, which I always like. Things went smoothly before and during (a relaxing shoot) and the footage looks and sounds really good. Would definitely use Mark and Crystal Pyramid Productions again. – Scott Devine

Thank you very much for producing a very high quality video for the MPI Multi Cultural Initiative event at the San Diego Convention Center.  Thanks again! – Clara Carter, President/ CEO

Telling Your Story

Crystal Pyramid Productions has been creating, shooting, producing and editing corporate video since establishing our video production company in 1981.

Our illustrious list of clients includes Allied Waste Services, IBM, UPS, Mail Boxes Etc., Ford Motor Company, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Cox Communications, Puma, Adidas, Prudential, Cisco, WebMD, Microsoft, Hilton, Starwood Properties, American Kennel Club and too many more to mention.

We have been on location at the Sheraton on the Bay to videotape the hotel CEO jump into the swimming pool in his suit. We’ve been aboard the FLIP (Floating Instrument Platform) to document a day in the life of this amazing scientific vessel and see it “flip.” We’ve interviewed Astronaut Sally Ride and J. Craig Venter, the man who mapped the human genome. We’ve been on the scene to document imploding buildings, sinking ships, and to see what happens when a trash collector is exposed to toxics in a garbage can.

We’re storytellers. We’ve been at it for a very long time, longer than any other video production company in San Diego. It takes special skills, tried-and-true experience and the best equipment to share our clients’ stories in the best light. We’ve done it for Merck, American Red Cross and San Diego Pest Patrol. We’ve done it for Murad, Intel and the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel. We’ve done it for thousands of happy clients and we can do it for you.

We assist our corporate video production clients with videotaping special events, conferences, conventions, interviews, B-roll, green-screen shoots, athletic events and more.  We will help you produce a video or series of videos that highlight your product or service.

During the time of Covid-19 many companies began to utilize streaming services. Live Streaming is now intrinsic to business across the planet. We are ready and able to help you with streaming video using one to four cameras, as needed.

Award-Winning Crews

Crystal Pyramid Productions provides award-winning corporate video production crews and services to businesses both large and small from around the world.

Product Videos

We’ve been producing, shooting and editing product videos for over 40 years. This includes everything from Scientific testing products and detection equipment for airports to a live Bud beer commercial here in San Diego and lingerie in the bedroom. If a picture speaks 1,000 words, then video speaks thousands of words. You can call on us to travel to your location, or use a studio. We can help you dial in the best studio to suit your needs, including our own private facility. We can provide Green Screen backgrounds no matter what location you choose.

Multi-Camera Shoots

We are owner-operators of the best broadcast video equipment available. For those clients who do want 4K, we have two matching Sony FS7 Mark II camera packages that deliver beautiful 4K footage. We have been offering multi-camera shoots to our clients for many decades now. Whether it’s with our 5 in-house Sony broadcast cameras ISO or switched live, we have you covered.

Choose our Sony Cine-Alta XD-Cam HD camera packages with full broadcast 18x to 21x lenses, our new Canon 55x box lens (in photo above) and/or our Sony FS7 II 4K camera packages with multiple broadcast zoom and/or many Prime lenses. Our multiple-camera packages come with full studio kits including rear zoom and focus controls as well as external recording monitor devices for ISO recording. All of our camera packages can be configured to work with a live switching package including headsets for all crew communication.

All camera packages include high-quality Sachtler 20 to 60 heads and carbon fiber legs and spreaders.

For events, conferences, galas and the like, we have multiple lenses including a Canon 55x telephoto low-light (1.4) big box lens. Position a camera in the back of the convention space and still achieve tight and stable shots. Add a couple of other cameras at other angles, on a jib, or a dolly, and you have a multi-camera shoot with or without live-switching that will highlight your event or performance. We have the Odyssey 7Q+ four-camera switcher/recorder for live events that features ISO recording for each camera. Additional switching packages, headsets and cameras are available upon request.

Non-Profit Video Production

We love what nonprofit organizations do. They serve various segments of the population in many ways. They exist to address issues such as homelessness, domestic violence, child safety, affordable housing, community issues, women’s issues, access to health care and so much more. We have been working with nonprofits since the very beginning of our career, and give substantial discounts so that they may show the world what kind of work they are doing. In some cases, we produce and/ or edit for special non-profits pro bono, such as the multiple-award-winning documentary “The Invisible Ones: Homeless Combat Veterans.” We can work with your budget and deliver video that you can be proud of.  So if you are a nonprofit agency and want your video production to look as polished and beautifully lighted as the ones on television, call us today.
