Business and nonprofit stories
Marketing videos, customer stories, product demonstrations, training and internal communication built around one clear purpose.
Video production in Marin, Napa and Sonoma
Every good video starts by listening.
I work directly with you to understand the people, purpose and details behind your project. Then I shape them into a clear, polished video that feels true to your message.
01 Full-service production
02 Remote editing
03 Clear written estimates
What we can make together
Your message, made visible.
Some projects begin with a blank page. Others begin with footage already on a hard drive. I can help with either.
Events and community
Thoughtful coverage for clubs, music groups, speakers, organizations and the moments that bring people together.
Editing from your footage
Remote editing, color matching, voiceover, captions, sound design, graphics and a finished piece that holds together.
Production + post
From the first conversation through the final edit, you work with the same person.

Working with g2 Videography was a game-changer for our business. Their videos helped us attract new customers and communicate our message more effectively.

I just watched your new Titus video on FB on my iPad, and it brought me to tears! So great—it has to be persuasive for anyone looking for a wonderful dog. The music selection really highlights him. Great work, as always, Gayle!
Audrey
This is wonderful… You did an amazing job of highlighting who he is. ♥️
Ann Marie
Bottom line: this is great! I can imagine being a prospective foster who is on the fence, and this would put me over the edge. It’s very persuasive!

An ongoing project in the B&T department is to create a video library of instructional, informative videos for our client, volunteer, and staff audience. As the Scenting Program Supervisor, videos concerning Nose Work, scenting, or detection fall into my job basket; and I admit it is a daunting task for me. I am not a script writer or a videographer. I do not understand lighting or audio or screen shots or anything, really, that constitutes video creation. I am a consumer, that’s it!
While most of us are inundated with moving images daily, and don’t put much thought into how it all gets there, the reality is that for every second of digital content, a team of creatives are thinking about and working within fragments of seconds, step by minute step, to produce an end product that flows seamlessly from start to finish.
Recently, this group of creatives produced the longest, most intensive and professional video we have to date: Sourcing Behaviors. It’s not a subject that everyone will connect with, but if you are a Nose Work geek like me (and my colleagues) or simply like to understand how dogs process odor, it’s amazing! Please help me present the B&T Oscar to Gayle & g2 Videography.

I think it’s a wrap, but I’d like Cindy to weigh in. Looks good!
Kathleen Call
I agree, it looks great!
Cindy McCabe
A+! Really nice video and a great collaboration by all.
Kim Bromley
I love it. So awesome. I would just take that tiny clip of weaving out at the end. Wow. This is great. Thank you so much.
Annette
These look great. I love the pan/cut from front to back in the clinic video—slick. 😉 Also love that we don’t have to do VO for these. This modern mic tech and the post options are blowing grandma’s mind. I’m not the arbiter of titles, so no comment there. These are a big thumbs up from me.
Kim
So, so happy with this video! I think it now establishes a format for other videos… Sounds good to me as well. Thanks to Gayle for such a good job!

A real person on the other end
I care about the details because your name is on the finished work.
I am Gayle J. Gaston, the owner of g2 Videography. I work directly with every client, from our first conversation to the final edit. My background taught me to listen carefully, explain things clearly and be accountable for the work I promise.
For filming, I work primarily throughout Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties. If you already have footage or photographs, I can provide editing services remotely.
Tell me what you are working onA few useful answers
Questions before we begin.
How much does a video cost?+
Editing-only projects, using organized client footage, generally begin at $600. Projects that include planning, filming at one location for up to two hours, and one short finished video generally begin at $1,500. Both starting prices include basic color and sound work, captions, and one round of revisions. Additional filming, locations, extensive graphics, extra versions, rush delivery, travel, or added revisions are quoted separately. After a brief conversation, I will provide a clear written estimate before work begins.
Can you edit footage I already have?+
Yes. Remote editing can include color matching, voiceover, effects, motion graphics, captions, sound design and delivery in the formats you need.
Where do you film?+
I work primarily in Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties. Tell me where your project is located and I will let you know what is practical.
What kinds of projects are a good fit?+
I work with businesses, nonprofits, clubs, speakers, individuals, music groups and content creators. The common thread is a clear message and a story worth sharing.
