This role is responsible for bringing campaigns, product launches, and always-on content to life. This role will manage every logistical detail from pre-production through asset handoff. The ideal candidate is a natural problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment, protects the creative vision, and keeps productions running on time and on budget.
Key Responsibilities
- Own photo and video production for brand campaigns and e-commerce shoots, from pre-production through final asset delivery, partnering closely with the Creative Director to bring the creative vision to life.
- Build and manage production budgets, timelines, and shoot schedules, balancing campaign needs, product launch dates, and ongoing e-commerce priorities.
- Source, negotiate rates with, and book photographers, videographers, talent, stylists, hair and makeup artists, assistants, editors, retouchers, and other production partners.
- Research and secure locations and studios, managing permits, location agreements, parking, insurance documentation, and any required permissions.
- Coordinate production contracts and legal documentation with Legal and other internal partners, including crew and vendor agreements, talent and property releases, usage rights, licensing, and confidentiality agreements.

- Create and distribute call sheets, shoot schedules, and production details, keeping crew, talent, vendors, and internal teams aligned.
- Coordinate product and sample logistics, ensuring the correct styles, colors, and quantities arrive on set shoot-ready—including stuffing, steaming, and any necessary preparation—and are tracked throughout production and returned afterward.
- Partner with the Creative Director and e-commerce team to confirm shot lists and coverage requirements, including product angles, detail shots, on-model imagery, and video deliverables.
- Serve as the primary production contact on set, managing crew, schedules, setup, breakdown, and day-of logistics while proactively resolving issues.
- Track progress against approved shot lists to ensure all required campaign and e-commerce assets are captured within the production schedule.
- Manage post-production timelines across editing, retouching, feedback, approvals, and delivery, coordinating revisions between the Creative Director, internal teams, and external partners.
- Confirm delivery specifications and check that final assets are complete, correctly labeled, and supplied in the required formats, dimensions, resolutions, and aspect ratios.
- Organize and route approved assets to the appropriate teams and asset management systems, ensuring delivery meets campaign and product launch deadlines.
- Track expenses, reconcile production budgets, and manage vendor onboarding, purchase orders, invoices, and billing with Finance.
- Maintain organized production records and a network of reliable crew and vendors, identifying ways to improve efficiency across campaign and e-commerce production.
Qualifications
- 3-5 years of experience producing photo and video shoots for a brand, agency, production company, or similar environment.

Video Producer Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a video producer in California?
Most video producers in California enter the field through a bachelor's degree in film production, media studies, or communications, often from schools like UCLA, USC, or San Francisco State University. California does not require a state-issued license to work as a video producer. Employers typically expect a strong portfolio and hands-on experience, which candidates build through internships, student productions, or entry-level roles at studios, agencies, or production companies.
How much do video producers make in California?
Video producers in California earn a median of about $129,790 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $63,570 for the lowest 10% to over $306,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire video producers in California?
Employers hiring video producers in California right now include BEIS, Fuse, and Pear VC, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. California's concentration of entertainment studios, tech headquarters, and major advertising agencies makes it one of the deepest hiring markets for video production talent in the country.
Which California cities have the most video producer jobs?
San Diego, Culver City, and Los Angeles have the most video producer openings in California. Los Angeles dominates because of its density of film studios, streaming companies, and advertising agencies, while San Francisco and San Diego generate consistent demand from tech firms, biotech companies, and digital marketing agencies that produce video content in-house.
Are there remote video producer jobs in California?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based roles because video production often requires on-set presence, equipment access, and in-person collaboration. About 43% of video producer openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which tends to reflect the post-production, editing, and project coordination portions of the role rather than principal photography or live shoots.
How can I get hired as a video producer in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is an internship or production assistant role at a Los Angeles or San Francisco studio, agency, or streaming company, where on-the-job experience builds a portfolio quickly. Major California employers like Disney and NBCUniversal run structured internship programs open to recent graduates. Adjacent roles such as video editor, content coordinator, or camera operator are common stepping stones, and a focused portfolio of completed projects, even from student or volunteer work, gives candidates a clear edge.
