What our partners say

I can't say enough good things about Matt Watts and the incredible team at Viva Media! They recently created a short video for our Instagram, which we used for a media launch in Toronto for StretchLab.

Not only did the video perfectly capture the essence of our business, but it also achieved an astounding record low cost per lead (CPL) of just $0.84!

David M.
Toronto Wellness Brand

We had a fantastic experience working with VIVA. The entire team were knowledgable, professional, helpful, patient and detail-obsessed, making our lives so easy at what is typically a very stressful time.

Every step of the process was planned meticulously which led to a seamless shooting and editing experience. We and our clients were delighted with the final products. Looking forward to working with the guys again!

Would give VIVA MEDIA a 10/5 if I could!

They did a COVID video for my company who is new to releasing video content for our social media - needless to say, they were SUPER accommodating and had a very fast turnover rate. From beginning to end, Matt (our project manager), and his team was able to deliver a video that was everything we needed and more; his team even worked overtime to get us our video before the timeframe we needed it.

Fantastic to work with!

They seemed to easily understand what I was after. Viva not only delivered what I was asking & hoping for, they exceeded my expectations and delivered aspects that I didn't even think to ask!

Questions You Should Be Asking (FAQs)

We know you have questions about video production. Not the boring ones—the ones that actually matter to your bottom line. Here are answers to what you're really wondering.

How much does professional video production cost in Toronto?

Quality video production in Toronto typically ranges from $10,000 to $100,000+ depending on complexity, with most projects landing in the $25,000 to $75,000 range. There. No smoke and mirrors. No "it depends" without actual numbers.

Every quote is tailored to your specific project and goals. Some clients have full marketing teams they want us to integrate with. Others come to us with no idea what they need and a vague sense that video should probably be part of their strategy. Both are fine. We build around where you're at.

Here's the thing most agencies won't tell you: the most expensive video isn't the one with the highest price tag. It's the one that sits on your website doing nothing. We're borderline obsessed with making sure every dollar drives results, not just pretty footage that looks great in our reel.

How long does the video production process take?

Most projects take 4-6 weeks from signed contract to final delivery. That's the honest range, not the optimistic one we tell you to win the business.

Timeline depends on complexity. A straightforward interview video moves faster than a multi-location commercial with animation and a dozen stakeholders who all need to weigh in. Factors that shift the schedule: number of shoot days, how many people need to approve things, whether we're adding motion graphics, and how quickly feedback comes back during revisions.

Rush jobs? Possible. Advisable? Rarely. They typically sacrifice the strategic thinking that separates forgettable videos from ones that actually perform. We'll build a timeline around your specific needs, and we'll hit our deadlines. That's not a sales pitch. It's just how we operate.

Should I hire a video production company or just do it ourselves?

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.

But for anything customer-facing? Brand videos, commercials, product launches, content that's supposed to make people reach for their wallets? Professional production pays for itself. Our clients typically see 2-3x better engagement than DIY alternatives. And the time you save not wrestling with lighting setups and editing software at 11pm has real value.

The better question isn't "should we hire professionals?" It's "what's the cost of putting amateur content in front of potential customers?" Sometimes the answer is "not much." Sometimes it's "our entire brand perception." We'll tell you which one applies to your situation.

What's actually included in your video production pricing?

Everything you need, nothing you don't. Every project includes concept development, scriptwriting, professional crew and equipment, filming, editing, color grading, sound design, music licensing, and two rounds of revisions. No surprise invoices three weeks later. No mysterious line items that make you wonder what you're actually paying for.

We break down exactly where every dollar goes before you commit to anything. If something's optional, we'll say so. If cutting something would save you money without hurting the outcome, we'll say that too. We'd rather you trust us with your next project than squeeze extra margin out of this one.

The process starts with a discovery call where we figure out where you're at, what you're trying to achieve, and what success actually looks like for your business. From there we build a custom strategy designed to hit that specific target.

Do I need a script or concept before reaching out?

Nope. Some clients come to us with detailed briefs and their own marketing teams ready to collaborate. Others have absolutely no idea what they want. Both are completely fine. Everything starts with a discovery call where we figure out where you're at, what you're trying to accomplish, and what's actually going to drive the result you need. We build a custom strategy from there. Come to us with a fully baked concept or just a vague sense that you need better video. Either way, we'll guide you to something that works.

What makes your videos outperform the competition?

Two things: strategy before creativity, and a borderline unhealthy obsession with results. Most production companies focus on making videos that look good. We focus on making videos that work. Every creative decision runs through one filter: will this drive the business outcome we need? That's why one client saw their cost-per-lead drop to $0.84 on a social video we produced. And why brands like McDonald's, TD Bank, and Nestlé keep coming back. We don't just deliver pretty footage. We deliver measurable business impact. There's a difference.

Who actually works on my video project?

Senior talent. Not interns learning on your budget. Every project gets a dedicated producer as your single point of contact throughout. Our core team includes experienced directors, cinematographers, editors, and motion designers who've worked on national campaigns. We don't farm work out to random freelancers and hope for the best. The people in your strategy meeting are the same people on set and in the edit suite. You'll know exactly who's handling your project from day one.

Why choose a Toronto-based video production company?

Because we actually know this city. We know which Toronto locations look amazing on camera and which ones are permit nightmares. We know the crews, the rental houses, the backup plans when weather doesn't cooperate. We can be on set in an hour if something needs to change, without billing you for flights and hotels.

No timezone headaches. No explaining Canadian references to a team in LA. No awkwardly applying American marketing trends and hoping they land the same way north of the border. (They often don't.)

When something needs to shift on shoot day, and something always does, having a team that knows the city saves time and money. We've shot everywhere from the Financial District to the Portlands to suburban Mississauga parking lots. We know what works where, and we know who to call when we need it.
