Corporate Video Production in Calgary

Company stories, recruitment films, and internal comms, made by a four-person creative crew.

Corporate video production in Calgary covers a lot of ground: recruitment films, company story pieces, training content, internal comms. What they have in common is that somebody has to be willing to sit through them, which is the part we plan for first.

We’re a four-person Calgary crew that spends the rest of the week directing music videos and brand films. The craft that makes a band look like themselves on camera is the same craft that makes your project manager sound like a person on camera.

Planning and scripting

Before we script anything, we ask who the video is for and why they’d watch it voluntarily. A recruitment film competes with everything else on a candidate’s screen. The messaging plan we build in discovery starts there.

Then we write. Sometimes that’s a full script, more often a set of interview questions designed so your people say the important things in their own words. Interview-led films also age better, since nothing has to be re-recorded when a title or a team changes.

On set

We show up small, four people and their kit, and we light and mic properly on the day. We do our own post, so we know what the edit will need. Interviews are conversations. We coach people through it, shoot generously, and leave the worst takes out.

B-roll gets planned in advance. Shots of your shop floor, your site, your product in real hands carry the film between voices and keep it specific to you.

Delivery and cutdowns

The edit, grade, and motion graphics happen in-house. You get the hero cut for your website, shorter versions for LinkedIn and Instagram, and clean clips for the sales deck and the careers page, all from the one shoot.

We serve companies across Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, and out to Canmore and Banff. If what you need is closer to an ad than a company film, our brand film work is the better fit.

Common Questions

How much does corporate video production cost in Calgary?
A single-video project with one location, interviews plus b-roll, typically runs $2,500 to $6,000. Multi-video packages filmed in one production block cost less per video, so it's worth asking about if you need more than one.
Our people aren't comfortable on camera. How do you handle that?
Most people aren't. We keep the interviews conversational, we build in warm-up time, and we shoot enough that nobody's worst take has to be used.
How long does a corporate video take to produce?
Four to six weeks for a standard piece. A week or two of planning and scripting, one or two shoot days, and the rest in edit and revisions. Compliance or legal review on your side is the usual variable, so we build it into the schedule up front.
Can you film at our facility or job site?
Yes. Offices, shops, plants, and sites across Calgary and the surrounding area. We handle safety orientations and PPE requirements as part of planning.
