Toronto Video Production
for Ambitious Brands

We price each production around the brief. The estimate depends on the creative approach, shoot days, locations, crew, talent, editing and final versions. A campaign film and a recurring social content plan may need different resources, even when the finished videos are short.

Tell us who the video is for, where it will run, your deadline and any budget you have in mind. Some clients bring a marketing team and a developed brief; others need help deciding what to make. We can discuss the production approach that fits.

The written quote should make the deliverables, assumptions and exclusions clear before work begins. If the brief changes, confirm the effect on the scope, schedule and cost before approving the additional work.

The schedule depends on the production. We need to understand the brief, the required deliverables and the date you need them before confirming a timeline.

A filmed interview has different planning needs from a multi-location campaign or a custom animation. Casting, locations, shoot days, graphics and the number of people reviewing the work all affect the schedule. We also need to allow time for your team's feedback and approvals.

If you have a fixed launch date, share it early. We can review the available production time and discuss what is achievable. Rush work depends on the scope and availability; the agreed schedule belongs in the project plan.

Depends on what you're making and what's at stake. DIY works fine for quick social clips, internal updates, or anything where speed matters more than polish. Your phone and decent lighting can get you surprisingly far for that stuff.

A production team can help when you need a developed concept, several contributors or locations, specialist filming, animation or a set of finished versions. Consider the skills and time your team already has, along with the work that needs outside support.

Bring us the brief and examples of the style you want. We can talk through which parts your team can handle and where production support would be useful. The decision should fit the project, budget and intended audience.

The written quote defines what is included. Depending on the brief, production can cover concept development, scripting, crew and equipment, filming, editing, colour, sound, music licensing and final delivery versions.

Confirm the number of shoot days, revision rounds, captions, graphics and formats before work begins. Talent and music usage, locations, travel and any other exclusions should also be clear. Extra requests may change the scope and cost, so they need to be agreed separately.

We start by discussing your audience, message and production needs. Media buying, posting and ongoing performance reporting are separate unless they are specifically included in the project scope.

No. You can come with a detailed brief and an agency partner, or with a business goal and an idea that needs shaping. Tell us who you want to reach, what you need to communicate, where the video will run and when you need it. Examples of work you like are useful too. We can discuss the concept, script and production support your project needs from there.

We start with the audience, the message and the job the video needs to do. That guides the concept, production choices and final versions. The portfolio and client feedback show examples of our work; results still depend on the offer, audience, distribution and measurement. We work with brand teams and agency partners on campaign films, corporate videos, animation and ongoing social production.

Production brings together Viva Media's team and specialist collaborators according to the brief. A project may need a producer, director, camera crew, editor, sound specialist or motion designer. We confirm the project lead, responsibilities and production plan with you. If your brand team or agency already owns part of the work, we define how the teams will collaborate and who approves each stage.

Viva Media is based in Toronto and works across the Greater Toronto Area. A local production team can coordinate with your people, locations and suppliers when the project needs on-site filming.

Location planning still depends on the brief. We need to confirm access, permissions, travel, weather considerations and the resources required for the shoot. Those details belong in the production plan and estimate.

If your team or agency is based elsewhere, we can discuss the support needed for a Toronto shoot and the parts that can be reviewed remotely. Share the proposed location and schedule so we can assess the production requirements.
