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, recruitment and training videos, testimonials, case studies, product and service videos, internal communications and brand stories. Most projects are handled directly by me from the first conversation through final delivery. 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.

Who this is for: small and mid-sized businesses and organizations — especially in Edmonton and Central Alberta — that want experienced corporate video production without a pile of people between us. That includes company profiles, interviews, recruitment, training, testimonials and brand stories, plus projects elsewhere in Canada when the fit is right.

Who this is not for: weddings, real estate videos, lowest-bid volume production, or projects that need a large agency-style crew. If something is outside what I’m best suited for, I’ll say so honestly.

Mitsubishi Motors of Canada

For three years in a row, Mitsubishi Motors of Canada trusted me to produce corporate sales profile videos in Edmonton for their national awards ceremony. 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.

Supplement Source

For Supplement Source — a major Canadian online discount supplement retailer — I produced a 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.

AI-Assisted Corporate Video — When It Actually Helps

I use AI in corporate video production, but I do not build the whole job around it. Real interviews, real people and footage I actually shoot are still the foundation.

Where AI-assisted video production can be useful is when something is genuinely missing: an early chapter in a company history, an old location that no longer exists, or a moment nobody filmed. In those cases I may use image work, generative AI, AI-generated visuals or tools such as Google Veo to build a short scene that supports the real story.

I also look for the real material first. On the Supplement Source project, for example, I used the Wayback Machine to put the founder’s actual first website on screen instead of inventing one. AI filled the gap. It did not replace the history.

If generated visuals are part of a corporate video project, I will tell you upfront.

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.

The Interview Is 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.

All pricing in CAD. Final quotes depend on scope, timeline, and travel.
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
Many standard corporate projects reach a first review draft within 7 to 14 business days after filming. Larger multi-video projects, complex graphics, multiple locations, extensive stakeholder review, or additional filming can take longer. If there is a hard launch or event date, it is best to establish that deadline before production begins.
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
Revision needs are scoped to the project. Most productions include an organized client review stage for factual corrections, pacing adjustments, selected shot changes, titles and reasonable refinements. New creative direction, new filming or major additions outside 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.
