How We Bring Video Projects To Life
Videos tell a story—your story. We start by understanding you—your needs, why you’ve chosen to make a video, and what you’re hoping to get out of it. We’re not afraid to get into the weeds, researching every detail of the project in order to create something truly spectacular.
We work with some of the best professionals in the industry—award-winning individuals who are masters of their craft. From lighting and colours to sets and scripts, everything is meticulously storyboarded and conceptualized long before the first camera starts rolling.
This detailed planning process allows us to bring your video project to life. Every creative project needs a beating heart. You—and what matters to you—are the heart of your video.
Our Proven Process For Video Production In Ottawa
Research and creative development
We research and plan high-level concepts for your video, with your story and goals as the guiding light. We consider a number of creative approaches and visual styles to create something truly unique.
Pre-production planning
The meticulous planning step: Storyboards are created, scripts are written, the crew is hired, and shoots are coordinated. When pre-production is complete, we’re ready to film.
Filming your video
Our experienced production team will bring your video to life. From our directors to our cinematographers and sound mixers, you’ll be working with some of the best in the business—people who know how to get results and make your project stand out.
Editing and post-production services
The raw clips for our shoots are transformed into the finished video through video editing and post-processing. Titles, graphics, SFX, sound design and colour grading turn your video into a finished masterpiece.
Optimization and management
Our videos are strong enough to stand on their own but for those who need it, we can integrate them into a larger marketing strategy. We can manage your video across all platforms; we offer YouTube channel management and campaign deployment.
