David Mathew Bonner
I work like your favourite corner café – small, consistent, and focused on the people in front of me. No bloated crews, no mystery fees, just one Alberta videographer who listens, shoots, and edits with care.
No rentals, no nickel-and-diming, no agency bloat. Every project — big or small — comes with the same full kit, the same care, and the same one-person commitment.
You’re not renting gear one piece at a time. I bring the full toolkit and build a customised setup around your project instead of billing you for add-ons.
Agencies break this into five job titles. I keep it lean. You deal with one person — and that person handles everything from direction to delivery.
Every project begins with clarity. Some pieces need lightweight planning, others need deeper story work — both are available.
The menu is simple on purpose. Behind each line is a full kit, a clear plan, and one person who stays with your project from the first coffee chat to the final export.
$1,200
Up to eight hours on site with the full production toolkit. Ideal for larger projects, multiple locations, or days where we want time to breathe and get every shot right.
$750
Up to four hours on site. A lean, focused option for interviews, promos, and content where we know what we need and want to stay efficient.
$100 / hour
Story shaping, pacing, colour, audio, titles, and final exports in the formats you actually need. I cut with the same mindset I shoot with – clear, honest, and built for real use. I don’t pass projects off to anonymous editors.
From $900 (half day)
One booking that covers both video and stills. It takes more setup and pacing to do both well, but it keeps your story and visuals consistent.
$150/hr + AI gen at cost
Short, AI-generated spots for when we can’t shoot in person or when a more stylised concept makes sense. I handle the prompts, direction, and full edit myself — AI is a tool, not a replacement.
Straight-up costs
I work out of Drayton Valley and serve Edmonton and central Alberta. Local travel is included. Anything extra is billed at true cost – no surprise markups.
Some projects — such as NDA-protected work, tight-turnaround timelines, or international and U.S. distribution — may require a different rate structure to cover added resources or compliance. Share your scope and I’ll price it clearly and honestly.
