We deliver high-quality videos made to fit your marketing and communication needs. Our end-to-end video production services allow us to fully produce valuable digital content for all kinds of brands, businesses and organizations.
Below are some of the common types of videos our clients ask us to make.
The first step is getting to know your business and what goals and expectations you have for the video project.
What is the overarching goal the video? For example, it could be:
Brand awareness
Increased sales
Recruiting
Investment opportunities
Or, any other action you wish your viewer to take.
Who are we making this video for? Knowing the audience helps us figure out the best way to get the message across.
To make sure we're on the same page with your project, it would be great if you could share any ideas or inspiration you have for it.
If you've seen any videos that capture the style or message you're going for, feel free to send them our way. We want to make sure we're creating something you'll love.
How much are you ready to invest? We work within a range of budgets and work to tailor a solution that fits your situation.
When are you hoping to have your videos polished and delivered? We’ll let you know what we can do!
We'll take what we learned in stage one and develop an actionable plan for your brand.
With your goals in mind, we’ll determine the key messages to incorporate.
Basically, we want to figure out what'll grab the viewer’s attention, show them the problem they’re experiencing and present a solution they can’t resist.
We'll select a look and feel for the video that we're sure your viewers will like. It's important to keep it consistent with your brand and make it enjoyable to watchm.
We can achieve many different aesthetics using lighting, lenses, colours, motion, and sounds.
We know what we’re going to say and how it should look. Now how about where to reach the audience?
We’ll provide recommendations for what social channels and marketing methods are best for targeting your audience.
Knowing what social media platforms you’ll be sharing on will determine the format of the video. A video that works on Tiktok might not work so well on YouTube.
However, we often bundle a series of cutdowns of the main film that will work across all major social platforms.
An example would be:
Produce the main film (90-120 seconds)
Cutdown a 30-second version
Cutdown a 15-second version
We’ll give these shorter versions in vertical and 16x9 formats to be shared as shorts, stories and reels.
Next, we put our creative team to work and build your video from the ground up.
Now it’s time we focus on the story and creative direction for the video. That means everything leading up to the actual filming, such as:
Location scouting
Hiring crew
Gear selection
Scripting
Interview question development
Shotlist creation
This is the fun part! This is where we put our plan of action into play. Generally, the project will call for a day of interview filming and a day or two of B-Roll capture.
Depending on the scale, requirements, and budget of the project, filming may take place over several days and involve several crew members.
Post-production is the process that happens after all of the filming is completed. We take the raw video and audio files and compile them into a comprehensive video.
At this stage, we also add all of the finishing touches that will make the content stand out such as sound design, colour grading, music selection, and audio mastering.
We will also give you opportunities to review and request revisions if need be.
Now, it's time to put the video to work for brand!
We’ll send you a secure download link with your files - polished and ready to be put into action!
We do keep backups of all of our projects, but we recommend you store the files in a safe place.
Through the channels we outlined in the strategy phase, you can start strategically sharing the videos online.
We develop video assets that will continue to work for your business for years to come!
Once you realize the power video can have for your business, we hope to see you again soon!
We enjoy working with clients on a long-term basis as we can get to know your business inside and out - meaning faster turnaround times, and timely solutions.
We’ve produced over 1000 videos for some of the top brands, businesses and agencies in Canada. From Vancouver, to Toronto, to Halifax, we make content to build trust, grow sales and drive results.

While Zest Media Productions is headquartered in Vancouver - we love to travel and support clients across Canada. We’ve also built a broad network of talented collaborators who can help us execute projects from pretty much anywhere in the country.
Creative services are collaborative by nature. While we are experts in production and video marketing, we will require client approvals at each phase of the project.
We do our best to make this process as streamlined as possible. Here is some typical input you could expect based at each stage of the process:
Pre-production (Brand discovery and strategy):
Approve project concept (storyline, visual approach, message, script and location).
Production:
We encourage decision-makers to be present at the shoot. This way, any input can be given in real time.
Post-Production:
Provide timely feedback relating to revision requests to ensure we meet your expectations. Generally, you will have three opportunities to request revisions.
Yes! We don’t exclusively work with businesses. We also collaborate with a wide range of agencies to help support their client’s campaigns.
We regularly collaborate with:
Marketing agencies
Advertising agencies
Branding agencies
Public relations agencies
Video production agencies
Video production is a bespoke service. Each project we produce requires a unique level of attention, meaning that rates can vary.
For example, basic video projects generally cost between $5,000 - $10,000. However, some projects may require a budget of $100,000 or more.
Here are a few variables that influence the cost of a project:
The overall complexity of the project
Crew size needed
Equipment requirements
Number of production days
Need for animation, scripting or voice-over
Travel expenses
Share as much as you can about your goals for the video project. A member of our production team will contact you within 24 hours to confirm your consultation request.
