“We use the video everywhere—Zoom, meetings, YouTube, our site. Prospects say EZ Stacker ‘sells itself.’ Exactly the impact we needed.”
From Irvine office parks to the Huntington Beach shoreline, our Orange County video production team scripts, films, and finishes video for brands across the county.
Brandefy is a full-service production company founded in 2011. Our Orange County office is in the Irvine Spectrum area, close to where the 5 and 405 meet and a manageable drive from most of the county’s business parks and beaches.
The work varies as much as the county does: a launch film for a device maker, a recruiting video for a software team, a resort spot timed for summer. Concept, shoot, and edit are handled as one job, so you have a single point of contact from brief to final file.
Carmakers, software companies, and healthcare providers all have a large presence in Orange County. These three portfolio pieces come from those fields. Pick one, then press play.
The same three phases apply whether we film for one day or build out a full campaign. Our process page goes through each one.
Six sectors shape much of the local economy, and each tends to call for its own style of video.
Model walkarounds, dealer spots, and launch films for carmakers with offices in the county.
Product demos, physician interviews, and patient stories told in plain language.
Explainers, recruiting videos, and event recaps for engineering-led companies in and around Irvine.
Lookbooks, athlete profiles, and short social edits for lifestyle brands that grew up on this coast.
Property films, resort spots, and community tours for developers, brokers, and hotels.
Attraction promos, trade-show coverage, and sizzle reels cut for sales teams and event screens.

“Brandefy’s sizzle made me look like a rock star. 1st runner up—and the show was optioned. They’re my secret weapon.”
“Clear timelines and smart recommendations kept the project moving. High-quality deliverables—exactly what we needed.”
The county has no single film office for city locations. Each of its 34 cities issues its own permits, and a beach can belong to a city, the county, or the state. Minimum lead times for three coastal locations:

The city permits its own beach, including the sand around the pier. Scenes filmed in the water also need a Marine Safety Officer on site.

At 200 Spectrum Center Drive in Irvine, CA 92618, near the junction of the 5 and 405 freeways. Brandefy opened in 2011, and our headquarters are in Santa Monica, California.
Full-service projects usually run from around $5,000 to more than $100,000. The spread comes from shoot days, crew and cast size, locations, and animation work. We price each project once we have talked through the brief.
A simple video is typically ready two to four weeks after kickoff. Add a couple of weeks when there are several shoot days or heavy post-production, and plan on three months or more for a large campaign. Beach and street permits add roughly a week of lead time.
It varies by location. Each of the county’s 34 cities has its own film permit office, OC Parks covers county parks and beaches, and the California Film Commission permits state beaches. We work out which office applies and file the paperwork during pre-production.
Yes, with the right permit. Huntington Beach asks for at least five business days, Newport Beach routes applications through FilmLA, and state beaches need four business days through the California Film Commission. Scenes in the water may also require a safety officer or lifeguard.
Yes. We make 2D explainers, 3D product animation, and motion graphics, and animation can be combined with filmed footage in the same video.
