Many of our web design clients end up asking us if we know any good video production companies in Ottawa.
It makes sense. A well-crafted brand video, a compelling product demo video, testimonial videos or even a simple “who we are” video can do more for a website than almost any design decision we make.
The challenge is finding a video production company that can actually deliver top-tier work. We’ve seen what happens when the decision gets rushed. A video can easily come out feeling subpar and in some cases the footage sits unused.
Commercial video production is a huge undertaking and it’s hard to find a high-end provider. They need to be experts in pre-production planning, have an understanding of how the final content will actually be used, and be able to translate the brand’s personality into something that moves people.
We don’t do video at Azuro. We do web design and development, which means we’ve spent years watching video content either strengthen or undercut the sites we build. That vantage point has given us a pretty clear picture of who in Ottawa is doing this at a high level (we’ve worked with many of them).
Every company on this list has a serious commercial portfolio – corporate brand films, product and service showcases, internal communications, event coverage, social content and more. These aren’t wedding videographers who occasionally take on a business client. This is their world.
They’re also not here because they paid for placement or reached out asking to be included. These are teams we’ve observed directly, whose processes we understand, and whose work we’d stand behind without hesitation.
One thing to keep in mind: video production has subspecialties. A studio that does good cinematic brand storytelling may not be your best bet for fast-turnaround social media content. A team that dominates product video may not be well-versed at event coverage. We’ve noted where each company tends to shine so you can match the right team to the right project from the start.
Here’s who we’d call:
The 10 Best Video Production Companies in Ottawa
1. One Market Media
Website: https://onemarketmedia.com/
Team Size: 1
Year Established: 2008
Overview: One Market Media is owned and operated by Jimm Fox, who brings a unique background to Ottawa video production – he’s worked both agency-side as a partner in an ad agency and client-side as a Director of Marketing for a Fortune 500 company. That dual perspective shapes how he approaches every project, which explains why his client list includes big names like Adobe, HP, Telus, The Ottawa Hospital and Algonquin College. Jimm describes himself as “a marketer that does video production” and focuses heavily on results-driven content (not video as an art form). He specializes in four core areas: social media videos, branding videos, social impact videos, and training/e-learning content – and he’s particularly strong in the nonprofit and social cause space, having produced work for organizations like the Elisabeth Fry Society of Ottawa and Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. He’ll even take on the occasional pro bono project if he feels deeply connected to the cause, gets full creative control and knows that he can produce something special.
Best For: Big companies that are seeking an individual with big company experience and a strong background in marketing, and/or nonprofits and social causes that are seeking someone who might be willing to offer high-end services either pro bono or at a discounted rate.
2. Aspen Films
Website: https://aspenfilms.ca/
Team Size: 21
Year Established: 2012
Overview: Aspen Films is one of the most prominent and well-known video production companies operating across Canada, completing 700+ projects per year and maintaining a presence in over a dozen cities including Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax and Saskatoon. They’re an award-winning shop that has particularly deep expertise in the nonprofit and government sectors – a natural fit given Ottawa’s makeup – as well as agriculture, mining, construction, indigenous organizations and dance. Their service menu is impressively wide, covering promotional videos, TV commercials, interview-style videos, award show productions, live-streaming, aerial filming and event videos. Their multi-city presence is a practical advantage for organizations with national scope, since Aspen can get shooters to almost any location in Canada without the coordination headaches that come with hiring local freelancers in each city. For associations or crown corporations that need a reliable partner with the scale to execute consistently across provinces, Aspen is one of the few vendors that can credibly make that promise.
Best For: Nonprofit associations, crown corporations and government agencies that have a wide range of video production needs.
3. Lone Oak Cinema
Website: https://loneoakcinema.com/
Team Size: 4
Year Established: 2019
Overview: Lone Oak Cinema is a Canadian Choice Award-winning and Faces Magazine Award-winning video production company based in Ottawa, Ontario, operated by husband-and-wife team Marcel and Ruth Preston. Marcel brings 20 years of experience to the director’s chair, including a background in audio engineering that gives the studio an edge when it comes to production sound – something that gets overlooked on a lot of lower-budget corporate shoots. Ruth, meanwhile, spent nearly 20 years in the industry including time at Entertainment One (Canada’s largest film and television company), managing operations across five of their global offices, which gives the studio’s project management process a level of professionalism you don’t always see at boutique production houses. Their commercial work spans brand experience videos, professional video podcasts, social media content, educational and onboarding videos, TV commercials and event films, with notable clients including Hyatt Place, the Rideau Club, and Farnam Street’s The Knowledge Project podcast.
Best For: Organizations that want to work with a renowned, award-winning boutique studio that has extensive experience serving a wide variety of projects and industries.
4. Video Ottawa
Website: https://www.videoottawa.ca/
Team Size: 5
Year Established: 1988

Operated by Roger Nissenbaum out of a studio at 5330 Canotek Road, the company works with consumers, government agencies and corporate clients across the greater Ottawa area and into Western Quebec. Their particular strength is in educational and training content – they have a reputation for taking technically dense and complex subject matter and making it clear and digestible on screen, which is exactly what government departments and regulated industries need. Notable past projects include aircraft maintenance training videos, infrastructure replacement documentation, and heritage restoration content – none of which are typical branding fluff.
Best For: Clients that want a bilingual video production company for English and French, and/or a video production company that has deep experience in educational and training content.
5. Video Kings
Website: https://www.videokings.ca/
Team Size: 19

Their value proposition leans on speed (they claim a 75-second average response time for quote requests), competitive rates, backup coverage on every shoot and a 90-day refund policy that removes some of the typical risk from booking. For businesses that need straightforward event coverage or a reliable videographer deployed quickly to an Ottawa location without a lengthy RFP process, Video Kings offers a convenient, low-friction option.

Ryan’s approach is methodical, with an emphasis on strategy-first video production rather than just showing up with a camera. His commercial sweet spot is small and medium-sized businesses in the greater Ottawa area, producing brand videos, product explainers, testimonials, recruitment pieces, training modules, event coverage and social content. Beyond corporate work, Mantha Media Productions has developed a secondary specialty in dance recital and performing arts filming, with a loyal roster of Ottawa dance studios that come back year after year.

The team handles scripting and storyboarding in-house alongside full production and post-editing, and they’re deliberate about platform optimization, tailoring deliverables for LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, website and other channels rather than producing one-size-fits-all cuts.

For short and simple branding videos, the pricing can range anywhere from $500 – $10,000 CAD for the same scope of work.
