Setting the Scene
Before recording starts, we check the location, angles, lighting and space for every part of the project.
From the idea and planning to lighting, sound, filming and editing, we produce commercial, brand and promotional videos for Toronto and GTA businesses — built for the places they will actually run: your website, your ads and your social media.
Watch a selection of Manisoft Media's filming and video production work for businesses, professionals, brands and venues across Toronto and the GTA.
Behind every video there are dozens of decisions about camera angles, lighting, sound, movement, B-roll and editing. In the next section you can see some of that happening behind the scenes.
From setting up cameras and lights to filming on real locations — take a look behind the scenes of some of our productions.
A professional video is not just the moment someone hits record. Lighting, camera angles, sound, movement, directing the people on camera and choosing the right shots all shape the final result before and during the shoot. Here is a look behind the scenes of real Manisoft Media projects in Toronto and the GTA.
These clips show our real filming process — from preparing the gear to running each shot and capturing the final footage.
Before recording starts, we check the location, angles, lighting and space for every part of the project.
Image quality is never complete without good light and clean audio — two of the most important parts of any production.
Movement, performance, camera angles and B-roll are captured to fit the goal of the video and the real feel of your business.
Raw footage is then shaped through editing, sound, color and pacing into the final deliverables for your project.
Our goal is not just a few beautiful shots. Every project has to fit your business, your message and where the video will really be used.
The right production depends on your goal, your audience and where the video will be used. These are some of the most common types of video we produce for businesses and brands in Toronto and the GTA.
A polished introduction to your brand, services or core message — for your website, campaigns and ad placements.
For an offer, service, product launch or grand opening — one clear message that has to land fast.
Shows the identity, feeling, story and personality of your brand — for when simply informing people isn't enough.
Introduces your company, team, process, services or workspace in a way that feels professional and trustworthy.
For founders, specialists and testimonials — videos that need to speak directly, personally and credibly.
Captures the detail, experience, atmosphere and real energy of your product, restaurant, event or business.
Not sure which type of video is right for your business? You don't have to decide in advance — we look at your goal, audience and where the video will be used, then recommend the right production. Need photos from the same shoot? Add commercial photography in Toronto to the same production day.
If the goal is simply to capture footage, a videographer can be enough. But when a video has to represent your business, product or brand, the result usually depends on planning, lighting, sound, direction, editing and many more decisions.
For some projects, a professional videographer who captures clean footage is exactly what you need.
Simple coverage, event recording, raw footage, or projects that don't need a concept or a full production.
This is more than filming: the whole path from idea to final delivery is planned and produced as one project.
Commercials, brand videos, promotional videos, corporate and product videos — anything that has to truly represent your business.
We just need to know what the video should do for your business, where it will be used and who it's for. From there, we define the right scope for your project.
Before we film, we need to know where the video will be seen. Aspect ratio, length, editing style, pacing and even the type of shots can change depending on where it will be used.
Brand intro, hero video, service pages or landing pages — ideally paired with a website designed to convert.
Short vertical cuts for Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Need it every month? See our Instagram content & Reels plans.
Faster hooks, one clear message and a structure built for Facebook & Instagram ad campaigns.
Horizontal masters, fuller introductions and longer-form videos.
Videos for booth screens, events, grand openings and presentations.
Videos for TVs, LED displays, lobbies and in-store screens.
If we know from the start whether the video is for your website, ads, social media or a display screen, we can plan the framing and filming correctly from day one.
You always know what happens next. We handle the planning, filming and editing, and you stay involved at the moments that matter.
A short call about your business, the goal of the video, your audience and where it will be used. You get a clear scope and quote.
Concept, talking points or script, shot list, locations and the formats you need — decided before the camera comes out.
On location at your business, in the studio, or both — with professional cameras, lighting and audio. Need aerial shots? Add drone videography.
Editing, color, sound, music, captions and graphics. You review the cut, and revisions are included.
Every version you need — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 or custom — ready to use on your website, ads and social media.
Still wondering about the type of project, the process, the cost or the deliverables? These answers give you a clearer picture of how video production works at Manisoft Media.
The cost of a video production project depends on its scope: how long we film, how many locations, the gear, lighting and audio required, how complex the edit is, how many versions you need and the type of video. That's why we don't use one fixed price for every project — once we understand what you need, we give you a clear, detailed estimate.
Yes. Once the goal of the video, the filming location, the rough length of the shoot and the deliverables you need are clear, we define the scope and give you a transparent price before anything is booked. Request a free quote and we'll get back to you.
A videographer usually focuses on capturing footage. Video production is more than filming: it can include planning, directing, lighting, sound, B-roll, editing, color, graphics and delivering every version your business actually needs. Not sure which one you need? We'll tell you honestly.
Yes. You don't need to know the technical details in advance. If the goal, audience and placement of the video are clear, we help with the concept, structure, talking points or script and the overall direction of the project.
Commercial and promotional videos, brand videos, service and business introduction videos, corporate videos, interview and expert videos, testimonials, product videos, food and restaurant videos, event and grand opening videos — plus versions made for your website, ads and social media.
Yes. If we know from the start that the video will be used on several platforms, we plan the shoot and include the right versions for your website, YouTube, Reels, ads and any other format you need in the project scope.
Both. We can film at your business, in a studio, or a mix of the two — whatever suits the project and the look you want.
We're based in Newmarket and work with businesses across Toronto and the GTA. Depending on the project, we regularly film in North York, Thornhill, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket and across York Region.
Yes. If your project needs aerial shots, see our drone photography and videography services. For builders and developers, we also offer construction drone and progress video in Toronto.
This page is for a specific video project, like a commercial or brand video. If you need videos, Reels, planning and a consistent online presence every month, our monthly content creation and Instagram growth plans are a better fit.
It depends on the type of video, the number of deliverables and how much editing is involved. Most projects are delivered within a few days to two weeks after filming; multi-part projects or ones with many versions take longer. We confirm the exact timeline at the start of the project.
Yes to both. Revisions are included so the final video matches your expectations, and once delivered you can use your videos for marketing, ads, your website and social media.
Yes. Many clients combine video with commercial, product and food photography on the same production day, so the photos and videos share one consistent look.
Yes. Manisoft Media works with both English-speaking and Persian-speaking businesses in Toronto and the GTA, and we can plan your video production in either language — or both.
