Executive video · North Beach · San Francisco
Executive thought leadership, filmed like broadcast.
One hour of your executive's time becomes a quarter of thought leadership video. A teleprompter, three 4K cameras, and an engineer make that hour count.
Executive thought leadership video sessions at our San Francisco studio run $450 per hour with an engineer included, and one prepared hour yields a quarter of thought leadership: keynote-grade teleprompter segments plus an interview block, delivered as raw 4K with separated audio the same day. Your comms team plans it, the executive shows up and talks, and the studio handles everything else.
The problem
Executive time is the scarcest input you manage.
Every comms team runs the same equation. The CEO's point of view is the most valuable content the company owns, and the CEO's calendar is the hardest place to find an hour. When that hour finally lands, it has to work the first time: predictable cost, zero setup in the room, and footage that looks like the company it represents. Consistent on-camera presence is how a leader becomes a recognized thought leader in the category.
That is the session we built. The set is pre-lit before your executive walks in. The teleprompter scrolls approved language straight down the lens, which doubles as media training: eye contact holds, pacing steadies, and the message stays exactly as legal signed it off. Three broadcast cameras are live-switched from the room next door, so the edit is fast and the picture reads like a network interview rather than a conference room webcam.
For teams running a recurring program, the same room powers a full corporate podcast and a steady stream of executive thought leadership video: same look every episode, one vendor, one flat rate.

Comms-team friendly
A pro in the room, on every session.
Your engineer, on set
Calm rooms make good tape
Your executive talks. Everything else is handled.
A dedicated engineer frames the shots, rides audio levels, paces the teleprompter, and switches the show live from the broadcast room. Your comms lead watches the program feed next door, calls for retakes, and approves the take list on the spot. Teams from Salesforce, Google, Microsoft, and Coursera have recorded with BayHaus Creative at 50 Francisco St, an 18 minute walk from Montgomery St.
We've worked with a few video production companies in the past, but none compare to this team. They took the time to understand our brand and created something truly special. The process was smooth, the communication was excellent, and the final result exceeded all our expectations.
What impressed us most was their attention to detail and willingness to iterate until everything was perfect. They didn't just deliver a video. They delivered a solution that helped us achieve our business goals.

How much studio time does an executive need each quarter?+
One to two hours. A prepared leader records a quarter of executive thought leadership video in a single hour: teleprompter segments plus an interview block. The comms team leaves with raw 4K and separated audio the same day.
Can our comms team direct the session?+
Yes. The broadcast room sits next to the set. Your team watches the live-switched feed, feeds questions, and approves takes while the engineer runs cameras, audio, and the teleprompter.
How does the teleprompter work for executives new to camera?+
The script scrolls right down the lens, so eye contact holds naturally. Your engineer sets the pace to the speaker and adjusts on the fly. Most executives settle in within the first ten minutes.
When do we get the footage?+
Same day. Raw 4K and separated audio tracks go onto your drive before you leave. Podcast Editing at $595 per episode adds an edited cut, a 1 minute intro, and 3 social clips.
