Beachcomber: Take your audience a step back in time when you film at the Beachcomber located right on the beach at Crystal Cove. This is place full of charm and nostalgia of a time gone by.
Orange County Night Time Filming:
Lucky Strike Lanes: This is a bowling alley at its finest. More of a lounge than a bowling alley. I has a retro hipster kind of vibe and is the perfect place to capture Orange County adults having a great time.
Orange County Shopping Center for Filming
Fashion Island: This outdoor shopping center is the heartbeat of the Orange County lifestyle for many locals and international travelers alike. Some video production companies may prefer South Coast Plaza, however, this mall, while impressive, can be captured in other malls across the country.
Orange County Charm
Balboa Island: This island is full of unique waterfront homes, but the charm is on Marine Ave., with the small shops, ice cream parlors and locals mingling with vacationers.

It is a great place to capture farm life in Orange County.
