eImage Video Productions takes your ideas and puts them on the screen, because every business in Oakland has a story to tell. Humans love good stories, and a video program can tell yours in a few minutes or even a few seconds to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Video Production in Oakland
We’ve been working in Oakland as a Bay Area video production business since 1984, helping major corporations like Hewlett Packard, Bechtel and Oracle get their message out. eImage produced video programs for State, County and City governments. We’ve worked with small businesses and start-ups. We’ve had a chance to work with subjects that span the human experience: high-tech, financial, medical, legal, educational, agricultural, spiritual, historical, political, and artistic. All to our customers’ complete satisfaction.
Solid Video Education
We didn’t just pick up a camera and start a video business, we studied the subject. The founder of eImage Video Productions, Andy Linda, holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Motion Picture and Television Production from UCLA; his partner Angela Gamburg has a Bachelor’s Degree in Film Production from San Francisco State University. We’re dedicated filmmakers with technical prowess and artistic flair.
A Family Business
But we’re also a family. Running a family business means we treat clients like family too, making sure that their video succeeds in the eyes of their audience as well as their boss. eImage’s reputation is everything to us, and we feel responsible for your reputation too. Video production is not just our job, not even just a career. Producing great videos is our life.
Totally custom, totally dedicated video production for business; give us a call or drop us a line, we’re happy to chat about your needs and ideas.

We Produce Video Programs of All Types
After decades in the business, eImage Video Productions has done a lot of everything, much of it right here in Oakland: we’ve interviewed leaders of major corporations, shot videos of prominent politicians, explained the workings of sewage and water treatment plants, detailed the principles of new inventions. Our videos have pumped up audiences for the start of a meeting and explained to immigrant populations that local mental health services are available. We’ve shown how to disassemble and assemble computer components, how to conduct employee reviews, how to test dairy cows for tuberculosis. We’ve made videos for students who apply for financial aid as well as for school custodians trying to get rid of rats and cockroaches. One program explained the methodology of Buddhist prayer, another what awaits you in family court. It’s been a fascinating mix, reflecting Oakland’s diversity.

For example, you or your content expert can write a script, we can collaborate on one, or we can write it for you. Many programs don’t need a script at all and that’s OK too. Need a video edited that somebody else shot? We can do that. Or do you want us to shoot something in Oakland and send the raw footage to the editor? No problem!
In short, we offer the services of an expert videographer, a seasoned video editor, a talented video director, or an accomplished film producer in Oakland and the San Francisco Bay Area. Find out more about the people behind eImage Video Productions on our About page.
A Bit About Oakland
Oakland is the largest city and the county seat of Alameda County in California. It is a major West Coast port, as well as the largest city in the East Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area. Overall, Oakland is the third largest city in the Bay Area, as well as the eighth most populated city in California. In 2020 Oakland’s population was 440,646. It serves as a trade center: the Port of Oakland is the busiest port in Northern California. In the United States it is the fifth busiest.
Oakland is a charter city which incorporated on May 4, 1852. On March 25, 1854 the incorporation was approved.
Oakland’s territory covers what was once California coastal terrace prairie, oak woodland, and north coastal scrub. In the late 18th century, it became part of a large rancho grant in the colony of New Spain. Its hillside oak and redwood timber were logged to build San Francisco. The fertile flatland soils helped it become a prolific agricultural region. The Transcontinental Railroad chose Oakland as its western terminal in the late 1860s. After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many San Franciscans moved to Oakland, leading to a population boom which led to increased housing and improved infrastructure. Oakland’s growth continued in the 20th century with its bustling port, shipyards, and even an automobile manufacturing industry.
