We are comfortable with assuming full creative control, or working with our clients and their teams, to create effective content that conveys the message that our clients intend to communicate. In the pre-production process, our goal is to determine what type of content will get our clients the results they expect. Once planning and strategy are complete, the stage is set to begin capturing your footage. Our experienced team of directors, cameramen, sound engineers, lighting specialists, art directors, and make-up artists are always eager to get on set and carry out memorable productions for our clients.

Frequently Asked Questions.


Canadian video production agencies are increasingly recognizing the importance of sustainable and eco-friendly production practices, responding to growing environmental concerns and client demands for greener solutions. Here's how they're addressing this trend:

1. Green Production Guidelines

Many Canadian agencies are adopting and implementing green production guidelines, such as those outlined by the Canadian Media Producers Association (CMPA) and Ontario Green Screen. These guidelines provide a framework for reducing environmental impact throughout the production process.

2. Energy-Efficient Equipment

Agencies are investing in energy-efficient lighting, cameras, and other equipment. LED lights, for instance, consume less power and generate less heat, reducing energy consumption and the need for air conditioning on set.

3. Digital Solutions

To minimize paper waste, agencies are embracing digital solutions for scripts, storyboards, and production documents. Cloud-based collaboration tools allow teams to work remotely, reducing travel-related emissions.

4. Waste Reduction and Recycling

On-set recycling programs, reusable water bottles, and compostable catering supplies are becoming standard practices. Some agencies are partnering with local organizations to donate or recycle used props and materials.

5. Local Sourcing

Canadian production companies are prioritizing local talent, crew, and resources to reduce transportation-related emissions and support local economies.

6. Virtual Production Techniques

The use of virtual production technologies, such as LED walls and real-time rendering engines, is on the rise. These techniques can significantly reduce the need for on-location shoots and associated travel.

7. Carbon Offsetting

Some agencies are calculating their carbon footprint and investing in offset programs, supporting renewable energy projects or reforestation initiatives in Canada.

8. Sustainable Transportation

Encouraging the use of electric or hybrid vehicles for production transport, and promoting carpooling or public transit for crew members.

9. Client Education

Canadian agencies are taking a proactive approach in educating clients about the benefits of sustainable production, often providing eco-friendly options in their proposals.

10. Certification and Recognition

Some agencies are pursuing green certifications, such as B Corp certification or ISO 14001, to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.

According to a 2023 survey by the Canadian Audio-Visual Sustainability Association, 68% of Canadian video production agencies have implemented at least three sustainable practices in their operations, up from 45% in 2021. This demonstrates a significant shift towards eco-friendly production in the Canadian industry.

As the demand for sustainable practices continues to grow, Canadian video production agencies are not only adapting to meet these expectations but are also positioning themselves as leaders in eco-friendly production. This approach not only benefits the environment but also appeals to environmentally conscious clients and can lead to cost savings in the long run through reduced resource consumption.



Video production agencies across Canada are rapidly evolving their services to meet the surging demand for short-form video content. This adaptation is crucial in the current digital landscape where platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are dominating user attention. Here's how Canadian agencies are pivoting:

1. Specialized Teams for Short-Form Content:
  • Many agencies are creating dedicated teams that specialize in short-form video creation, ensuring quick turnaround times and platform-specific expertise.
  • These teams often include social media experts, motion graphics designers, and editors skilled in crafting engaging content in 60 seconds or less.
2. Investment in Vertical Video Equipment:
  • Agencies are investing in equipment optimized for vertical video shooting, such as specialized camera rigs and mobile-first editing software.
  • This allows for native content creation that looks professional on mobile-centric platforms.
3. Agile Production Processes:
  • Streamlined workflows are being implemented to produce high volumes of short-form content efficiently.
  • Some agencies are adopting 'micro-studio' setups that allow for quick, in-house content creation without extensive setup times.
4. Data-Driven Content Strategies:
  • Leveraging analytics tools to understand audience preferences and trending topics in the Canadian market.
  • Agencies are using this data to inform content creation, ensuring relevance and maximizing engagement.
5. Multi-Format Deliverables:
  • Offering clients packages that include multiple short-form video variations from a single shoot.
  • This approach maximizes content output and provides clients with versatile assets for different platforms.
6. Storytelling Techniques Adaptation:
  • Developing new storytelling techniques that capture attention within seconds and deliver a message quickly.
  • Focusing on creating 'hook' content that encourages viewers to engage further with a brand.
7. Collaboration with Influencers:
  • Partnering with Canadian influencers who have mastered the art of short-form content creation.
  • This collaboration brings authenticity and helps brands connect with niche audiences more effectively.
8. Education and Training:
  • Many agencies are investing in ongoing education for their staff to stay updated with the latest short-form video trends and platform algorithms.
  • Some are also offering workshops to clients, helping them understand the value and best practices of short-form content.

According to a recent survey by the Canadian Media Producers Association, 78% of video production agencies in Canada reported an increase in client requests for short-form video content in the past year. This trend is expected to continue, with projections suggesting that by 2025, short-form video will account for over 40% of all video content produced in Canada.

As the demand for short-form content grows, Canadian video production agencies are not just adapting their services; they're revolutionizing their entire approach to video creation. This shift ensures they remain competitive and continue to deliver compelling content that resonates with Canadian audiences across various digital platforms.



When choosing between a large video production agency and a smaller, boutique company in Canada, there are several key differences to consider. Each option has its own strengths and potential drawbacks, depending on your specific needs and project requirements.

1. Resources and Capacity
  • Large Agencies: Typically have extensive resources, including state-of-the-art equipment, larger teams, and the ability to handle multiple large-scale projects simultaneously.
  • Boutique Companies: Often have more limited resources but may offer more specialized equipment or expertise in niche areas of video production.
2. Cost and Pricing Structure
  • Large Agencies: Generally have higher overhead costs, which can result in higher prices. However, they may offer package deals for comprehensive services.
  • Boutique Companies: Often more flexible with pricing and may offer more competitive rates, especially for smaller or mid-sized projects.
3. Client Attention and Personalization
  • Large Agencies: May have a more structured approach to client management, potentially with multiple points of contact. This can sometimes lead to a less personalized experience.
  • Boutique Companies: Often provide more direct access to key creative personnel and offer a more personalized, hands-on approach to projects.
4. Expertise and Specialization
  • Large Agencies: Usually have a broad range of expertise across various industries and video styles, with specialized departments for different aspects of production.
  • Boutique Companies: May have deep expertise in specific niches or industries, offering unique creative perspectives and specialized services.
5. Flexibility and Turnaround Time
  • Large Agencies: Often have established processes that can streamline large projects but may be less flexible for quick changes or rush jobs.
  • Boutique Companies: Generally more agile and able to adapt quickly to changes, potentially offering faster turnaround times for smaller projects.
6. Network and Industry Connections
  • Large Agencies: Usually have extensive networks within the Canadian film and video production industry, which can be beneficial for complex projects requiring diverse talent or locations.
  • Boutique Companies: May have strong local connections and relationships, which can be advantageous for projects requiring authentic Canadian content or specific regional expertise.
7. Technology and Innovation
  • Large Agencies: Often have the capital to invest in the latest technology and software, potentially offering cutting-edge production techniques.
  • Boutique Companies: May be more nimble in adopting new technologies or experimental techniques, especially in niche areas.

When making your decision, consider factors such as your project's scope, budget, timeline, and specific requirements. For instance, if you're working on a large-scale national campaign that requires multiple video formats and extensive post-production, a larger agency might be more suitable. On the other hand, if you're looking for a unique, locally-focused video that captures the essence of a specific Canadian region, a boutique company might offer the personalized touch and local expertise you need.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on aligning the agency's strengths with your project's goals and your company's values. It's advisable to review portfolios, request case studies relevant to your industry, and if possible, speak with past clients to get a better sense of each production company's capabilities and working style.
