What you actually get

More than a room: a finished episode and the content around it.

Booking a room still leaves you with raw files, no plan, and an editing backlog. FogLine handles the whole thing — planning, multi-camera capture, sound and lighting, editing, cover artwork, and short-form clips — so the output is a published-ready episode and a stack of social content, not homework.

Planning + question map

A short pre-call to lock topics, guests, and the flow of the conversation.

Multi-camera capture

Several angles rolling at once, with professional sound and lighting.

Full episode edit

A complete long-form episode, color and audio handled, ready for YouTube and podcast platforms.

Short-form clips

Vertical reels cut from the same recording for Shorts, Reels, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Custom episode cover

Cover artwork and title cards designed for the episode.

Platform-ready delivery

Captions and formatting sized for each place you post.

One session, a full content library

One session → full episode → short-form content library.

Where you record

Our studio, your office, or an event.

The right setting depends on your show, your speakers, and your visual identity. We help you choose, then confirm access, sound, power, load-in, background, and production requirements before recording — so the shoot day runs on schedule wherever we film.

Our studio in SoMa

A ready set at 855 Folsom St, lit and mic'd before you arrive. Daylight or a darker night look.

FAQ

Questions founders ask.

How is this different from renting a podcast studio?
A studio rental gives you a room and gear for a block of time — you still leave with raw files and an editing backlog. FogLine is full-service production: we plan the episode, run multi-camera recording, edit the complete episode, and cut the vertical clips, so you leave with a finished show rather than footage to deal with later.
Can you record at our office instead of a studio?
Yes. We can film at your office, at an event, or at a production location selected for the shoot. We bring the cameras, lighting, and sound either way, and we confirm access, power, and the recording space with you before the shoot day.
Who plans the questions?
We build a question map with you on a short pre-call so the conversation has direction. Your team approves it before recording, and your host can run it — or we can help guide it.
How much does a video podcast cost?
Pricing depends on where you record and how much you need. A Studio Session covers up to an hour of multi-camera recording at our studio, edited into one complete long-form episode. Filming at your office or a selected location delivers the same finished episode on site. Premium Production adds up to two hours of recording, a 4–5 camera setup, and up to 15 vertical reels with a custom cover. Tell us your plan and we'll put together a custom quote.
How many clips do I get?
Our Premium Production includes up to 15 polished vertical reels plus a custom cover alongside the complete edited episode. The Studio and On-Location sessions deliver the full episode on its own; clips can be added to either.
How fast is turnaround?
It depends on scope and whether clips are included, so we confirm the delivery window with you before the shoot rather than promising a fixed number that may not fit your edit. The schedule is agreed before recording.
Do you cover the wider Bay Area and Silicon Valley?
Yes. We record across San Francisco, the Bay Area, and Silicon Valley — at your office, at an event, or at a production location selected for the shoot.
Can we start with just one session?
That's the recommended way to start. Run a single session, see how the process and footage feel, then decide on an ongoing series. There's no requirement to commit to a recurring show up front.

One hour on camera. A month in the feed.
