Corporate Video Production in Edmonton & Alberta
I’m David Mathew Bonner, owner of David Mathew Bonner Video Productions. Based in Drayton Valley, I provide corporate video production in Edmonton, Central Alberta and across the province, and I travel nationally when a project needs it. Since 2001, I’ve been creating corporate videos built around real people, natural interviews and stories that feel believable — not manufactured or over-produced.
I plan, film and edit company profiles, corporate interviews, client testimonial videos, recruitment and company culture videos, training videos, case studies, product and service videos, internal communications and brand stories. I personally handle every project from the first conversation through final delivery, working solo by default and bringing in additional crew when needed. You deal with the person actually planning, filming and editing the work — me.
Most corporate video production projects for Edmonton businesses land around $2,500–$5,000, depending on filming days, locations and editing. I only take on about one or two new projects a month, which keeps me involved in the work instead of selling the job and handing it off.

Company Profiles • Testimonials • Real Interviews
Company Profile, Testimonial & Brand Story Videos Built Around Real People
Strong corporate videos usually start with the same thing: a good conversation. That is especially true for company profiles, client testimonials, recruitment videos and brand stories where the people on camera need to sound like themselves.
This reel brings together excerpts from three interview-driven projects for clients across Canada. Each was built around real people and natural, conversational interviews — no actors and no scripted answers — then shaped with B-roll of the people, workplaces and details behind the story, with carefully selected stock footage used where it helped fill out the story.
I produced, directed, filmed, conducted the interviews and edited each piece. The interview is where I listen for the story, but I’m also looking for the answers the finished video needs. I’ll circle back, rephrase questions and approach the same idea from different angles until I get the response that says it clearly and naturally.
The filming and edit are where I build the context, pacing and visuals around those moments so the finished video feels genuine, focused and has real impact.

Owner-Operated or Video Agency?
An agency is not automatically better because it has more people, and owner-operated is not automatically better because it is leaner. The right choice depends on what the production actually needs. I’ve laid out the differences honestly — including when I’m not the right fit.
Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada
For three years in a row, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada trusted me to produce sales and service profile videos of Edmonton dealership teams recognized in its national program. I guided the interviews, filmed the people and dealerships at work, and worked around busy showroom floors without getting in the way. I handled each project from planning through final edit.

Use Of A.I
For one client, I produced corporate company-history video that included the early years of the business. The problem was there was almost nothing to show from that time — no old video and basically one usable photo of the founder. I used that photo and selective AI-assisted video production, including Google Veo, to build a short period-style VHS scene, then finished it like any other edit. For the early website scene, I dug through the Wayback Machine and found his real first site, so what appears on screen is the real thing, not something I made up. AI filled a gap. The real interviews, people and workplace footage still carried the story.
One clip, two scenes: company history rebuilt carefully with selective AI, plus the founder’s real first website from the Wayback Machine.
A Company Profile Video Built to Explain a Complicated Business
Dark Matter Materials is a good example of a company-profile video where the main goal was to make a complicated business easier to understand. The company makes hydrogen from ordinary water at room temperature using its own catalyst — something that is difficult to explain clearly with text alone.
So I did not start with a technical explanation. I started by showing it. I sat the owner down with a tube of water and a tube containing their product and had him make hydrogen right in front of the camera.
From there, the video moves into the lab, where their chief scientist explains why the process works, then back to the owner to explain what it could mean in practical, real-world use.
The structure was simple: show the process first, explain the science second, then explain why it matters. That order turned a complicated technology into a company story people could actually follow.
1
Show it. Let the viewer see hydrogen being created.
2
Explain it. Let the scientist give the technical reason it works.
3
Make it matter. Bring it back to the owner and the real-world application.
Dark Matter Materials — a company-profile video designed around one job: make a complex technology understandable.
Recruitment Film + Client Feedback
“David is a pleasure to work with and an exceptional videographer and storyteller! I had an ambitious project in mind to bolster our school's recruitment efforts. I teach at a Lutheran Seminary in Edmonton, and – like many other churches – we are facing a shortage of pastors for our churches. With David's help, we were able to produce a very professional documentary-style recruitment video. David was involved from the ground floor up, helping to cast a vision for the product, collecting the interview segments, narrated portions, and B-roll footage, and wrangling it all together into a well-paced compelling video that we pray will help us to engage the broader church in recommending students for our programs. David was also VERY reasonable with his billing rates. I recommend him wholeheartedly for whatever video projects you may be envisioning.”

Customer Testimonial Video Production in Edmonton
A strong customer testimonial video does more than put a happy client on camera. The interview has to sound natural, the questions have to get past generic praise, and the finished edit needs enough real-world footage to show what the customer is actually talking about.
For Athena Donair Products / Food Plus More, I filmed customer testimonial videos with Swiss Donair and Maina's Donair as supporting pieces around the larger manufacturing story. The plant film showed how Athena makes the product; these customer stories showed how that product performs once it reaches real restaurants.
That kind of Edmonton testimonial video production works well for manufacturers, professional services, contractors and other businesses that need credible third-party proof. I handle the interview, follow-up questions, B-roll and edit so the finished piece feels like a real customer experience rather than a scripted endorsement.
Swiss Donair Customer Testimonial
A restaurant customer testimonial supported with food and location B-roll, showing Athena's product in the kind of business that uses it every day.
Maina's Donair Customer Testimonial
A second customer voice giving Athena useful proof from the restaurant side, with the interview shaped around real experience rather than a memorized script.
“thank you for a great job on both videos.”

Corporate Video Production That Has a Job to Do
Corporate video should have a job to do. It may need to build trust, explain a service, make a technical process easier to understand, recruit the right people, support training, document expertise or simply show customers that the business can actually do what it says it does. Looking good matters, but looking good without saying anything useful is still just wallpaper.
You work directly with me from the first call to the final export. I help shape the plan, prepare the interviews, film the project, record the audio and build the edit. Most of the time I work lean. If the job genuinely needs another camera, dedicated photography or specialized help, I bring the right person in.
Scripted, Interview-Based, or a Mix of Both
-
Scripted corporate video production
For training, technical explainers, executive messages, compliance or anything where the wording has to be exact, I can help write or polish the script, bring a teleprompter and help the person on camera get through it without sounding like they are reading. -
Interview style storytelling
For testimonials, founder stories, recruitment, culture and case studies, I usually prefer a guided conversation. I know what we need to get, but I also listen. Some of the best answers come from the follow-up question you did not have written down.
Corporate Interviews Are An Art
A good interview is more than reading a list of questions. I use timing, follow-up questions and a lot of listening to help executives, staff, customers, technicians and camera-shy tradespeople get comfortable enough to just talk. I do not want everyone to sound polished in exactly the same way. I want useful, believable answers in their own voice. Then I clean up the repetition, false starts and rabbit trails in the edit without changing what they meant.
Cinematic Visuals That Support The Story
You do not need a fancy location to make a strong corporate video. Offices, shops, facilities, industrial spaces and job sites can all look good when they are filmed properly. I use composition, movement, lighting and purposeful b-roll to show the people, process, tools and details behind the words. The pictures should help prove the story, not just decorate it.
Who Are We Talking To?
Before I film anything, I want to know who the video is for. What do they already know? What are they unsure about? What do we need them to understand or do next? A recruitment video should not talk to people the same way a customer video, training piece or company profile does. That changes the questions I ask, what I film and how I build the edit.

Add Aerial For Scale
I can use a sub-250-gram drone when the weather, airspace and site rules allow it. Aerial footage can be useful for facilities, industrial sites, campuses, construction, tourism and simply showing the scale of an operation. I use drone footage when it adds information to the story — not just because I own a drone.

Do you help with scripts or interviews
Yes. I guide both. I can write or polish scripts and bring a teleprompter when the wording needs to be exact.
For interviews, I keep it conversational and use follow-up questions to get natural, useful answers instead of canned responses.
Can you include drone footage in my business video
Yes. I use a sub 250 gram drone for safe and cinematic aerial coverage when it supports the message and location
rules allow it.
What areas do you serve
David Mathew Bonner Video Productions is based in Drayton Valley and regularly works in Edmonton and Central Alberta,
including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Red Deer, Camrose and surrounding communities.
Travel elsewhere in Alberta and across Canada is available for select projects and scoped clearly in the quote.
How long does a corporate video project take
Some projects can be turned around in 24 hours. Most are delivered in 1–3 weeks once I have the interviews, footage and materials I need,
and complex projects take longer. I work backwards from your deadline and have never missed one.
Can one filming day create several videos
Often, yes. A well-planned production day can create a main corporate video plus interview excerpts, recruitment clips,
social cutdowns, vertical reels, training segments, b-roll and supporting photographs. Planning the deliverables before filming
helps capture the right material once instead of rebuilding the shoot later.
Can you work under an NDA or with confidential material
Yes. I can work under non-disclosure agreements and handle internal, unreleased, legal or sensitive corporate material.
Review and delivery can be structured around controlled links, restricted access and the distribution needs of the project.
Can you provide photography with corporate video
Yes. Selected projects can combine video with executive portraits, staff photos, product images, facility photography,
event coverage and campaign stills. Combining both can reduce time on location and help keep the visual style consistent.
How many revisions are included
Every video package includes two rounds of revisions for reasonable refinements such as factual corrections, pacing adjustments, selected shot changes and titles. New creative direction, additional filming or major changes beyond the agreed scope may require additional editing time.
Do you use AI in corporate video production
Yes, selectively — and only when it solves a real problem. Real interviews, real workplaces and footage I actually shoot stay the foundation. For company-history videos with little or no archive material, I may use careful image work, generative AI and selective AI-generated visuals — including tools such as Google Veo — to help show a moment that otherwise cannot be shown. On one Supplement Source project I also used the Wayback Machine so an early-website scene showed the client’s real first site, not a fake mockup. I do not use AI just because it is available, and I will tell you upfront if generated visuals are planned.
Who owns the finished video and raw footage
Usage and ownership are clarified before production. Clients receive the agreed finished deliverables for the intended business use.
Raw footage, project files, licensed music, stock assets, fonts, templates and other third-party materials may have separate rights
or licensing conditions, so raw-media or expanded-usage needs should be discussed in the quote.
Let’s Talk
If you think video might help, start with the problem instead of the format. Tell me who needs to see it, what they need to understand and where the finished video will be used. Basic consultations are free. Sometimes the answer is one focused corporate video. Sometimes it is several pieces. Sometimes you do not need as much as you thought. I will tell you what I think before you commit to production.
