Our Company
A culmination of creative production and editorial magic, our expertise spans both the broadcast world of media and entertainment and the corporate world of PR and advertising. Plus, we are determined to make video production accessible to the public. Our friendly, approachable, non-pretentious staff of industry professionals is ready to prove it. Once you know what you want, we know how to make it happen, every step of the way – from concept to distribution.
Our Facility
Located in the heart of San Francisco’s media gulch, Beyond Pix is where your ideas are transformed into visual realities. Our facility boasts four studios, including Studio D, a full time green screen studio. We take pride in housing state of the art production, post-production, and interactive media equipment that reflects the latest industry buzz – everything from down and dirty BetaSP workflows all the way to high-end RED camera tapeless workflows. Our creative hub can support your project offline or on-line, SD or HD, live broadcast or On-Demand, in studio or on location, and everything in between.
We also have Beyond Pix Studios @Bayshore, located at 2178 Palou Avenue, and with a 50'x50' cyc, two make-up rooms, full kitchen, office space, conference room, and various other amenities it is ideal for any larger production that might get thrown your way.
Our History
Beyond Pix was founded in 1992 with the basic premise that anyone should be able to use broadcast quality video. Eventually, our market reached beyond broadcast television and into the world of the web, corporations and well, Beyond. The key to our success is our down to earth approach coupled with a commitment to make the process of production smooth and seamless. We do everything so our clients never realize how complicated projects can be. With hundreds of successful productions stored in our video library for countless companies around the world -- large or small -- Beyond Pix has delivered on our original premise – video is for everyone.
Our Staff
We’re in the midst of another semester and the region’s wealth of schools produce an impressive cadre of qualified graduates. Along the way, during their studies, many of them tour our facilities on Battery Street, gaining insights of a video facility, understanding the workflow and meeting various professionals. Once in awhile, they run into famous people!
We’re always flattered that people come to visit our downtown San Francisco production complex. We thought we’d share our house by showing you the welcome video that greets the students.
For those of you who know us personally, you’ll see the usual suspects. For those who don’t, then meet the folks behind the brand. Welcome to our house and enjoy your stay.
Tours
Beyond Pix Studios Facility Overview:
Our downtown San Francisco location is the heart of the company’s operations. It is an 18,000 square foot space that occupies four floors and houses our production offices, business offices, production equipment, live studios and Post Department. The building is also home to our Creative Services Department and a number of independent producers. It is one of the largest film and video complexes in the region.
We also own and operate the largest soundstage in San Francisco, @Bayshore. Located in San Francisco's Bayshore District, the stage offers 5000 square feet of production space.
Community and Industry Outreach:
Over the years we’ve hosted numerous class tours for students in grades ranging from elementary school to college. We take this role seriously, as we know how influential field trips can be for bright young minds, and we do our best to give the students an insightful look into our film and video operations.
Our guides give a comprehensive tour of our facility. Along the way, several members of the staff give a short lecture on their role in the company, often sharing the path they took to become a professional in the industry. On some occasions, the students may even bump into a celebrity or witness an actual “live shot” while we’re on the air with one of several national or international networks.
It is this personal, down-to-earth approach that has earned us the reputation for hosting memorable and rewarding field trips for these students. We take pride in our work, and we are excited to share our passion for film and video with the next generation of thinkers.
Beyond Pix Studios Tour Arrangements:
We frequently receive requests for class tours, but unfortunately we can’t accommodate them all. However, you are welcome to submit a request to danielle@beyondpix.com. We always try to make tours possible, as they are an important way for us to give back to the community. We know how meaningful these tours are because of the feedback we’ve received, and we are excited to have the opportunity to inspire young minds.
Student Testimonials
Celebrating our 21st Birthday
Our friends and families are scattered all over the world so it’s impossible to gather everyone in one place to throw a party. When Beyond Pix first began in 1992, the Internet was barely in the picture and today, it is the worldwide venue in which we’re hosting our virtual birthday party.
It’s been an incredible twenty years and as a media company, we’ve had the best seat in the house watching history unfold. In countless instances, we were there as it happened, training our cameras on the human drama and reporting it to the world.
We reflect on our past, in tandem with the dramatic events we’ve witnessed and realized that in our youth, we’ve lived through some of the most significant changes in global history. It isn’t just our story, it’s yours as well. We all share so much in common.
It’s often said that you’re only young once, but to us, we’ll always be young at heart. Thanks for being a part of our company, our success...our lives.
