About us

Matthew founded Viva Media after spending years watching companies waste budgets on videos that looked great but delivered nothing. Now he leads every project with one question: will this actually move the needle? With over a decade in video production and a background in marketing strategy, he bridges the gap between creative ambition and business results. He's produced content for brands including Nestlé, TD Bank, Air Canada, and P&G.

Conor keeps Viva Media's gear room running like a well-oiled machine. Every camera, lens, and light gets tested, maintained, and prepped before it leaves the building. He's also the operator behind the Evo Cinebot, a motorized precision rig that brings robotic camera movement to commercial shoots. On top of that, he runs Viva Camera, the rental side of the business, helping Toronto productions access cinema-grade equipment without cinema-grade budgets.

Westin has shot everything from scrappy social content to national broadcast campaigns. As Director of Photography, he translates creative vision into visual reality while keeping the end goal in focus. His approach starts with understanding what the final video needs to accomplish before he even unpacks the camera. Technical excellence in service of strategy, not the other way around.

Daniel is where raw footage becomes a finished story. He approaches every edit with the end goal in mind, cutting for impact rather than just aesthetics. His work spans brand films, commercials, social content, and corporate videos for clients across industries. He's particularly skilled at finding the emotional core of a project and building the edit around moments that drive viewers to action.

Stephan brings ideas to life through animation, motion graphics, and visual design. His specialty is taking complex concepts and making them instantly understandable, whether through animated explainers, typography-driven content, or visual effects that serve the story. He's worked on projects ranging from product launches to internal communications, always with clarity and impact as the goal.
