Corporate, Commercial & Social Media Video Production, Agreed Before We Film

Professional video production services in Vancouver, covering corporate video production, commercial videos and social media content. We start with the person on the other end of your sale: how they search, compare and decide. Then we plan, film and edit a video for that moment, with our own crew in our own studio.

  1. Start With Who Will Watch

    Before anyone picks up a camera, we work out who the video is for, where they will see it and what they need to know before they call you. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, your website or a paid campaign: the plan names the channel first.

  2. Video Production Service

    One in-house team runs the shoot, from script and storyboard to filming and direction, in our Vancouver studio or on location. Corporate, commercial and social media shoots, planned so every scene has a job.

  3. Edited for Every Place It Runs

    Colour grading, sound, motion graphics and captions, cut to the size and length each platform needs: vertical for Reels and TikTok, wide for your website, short for paid ads.

A Video Marketing Agency That Also Runs Your Ads, Website and Social

A video production agency makes the video. A video marketing agency also decides where it runs and checks what it did. We do both under one roof: the team that films your video also runs performance marketing, social media and websites. As a social media video production company and an ad team in one, we plan each video for the ad, the feed or the page it will live on. Live dashboards show what we projected, what happened and the gap, misses included. Ad spend is billed separately, straight to the platforms.

Who We Make Video For

  • Owners who need video to bring in work. You have paid for a video that looked good and changed nothing. This time you want to see the plan, the shot list and where the video will run, before we film.
  • Public-sector and municipal teams. You need a fixed scope, a fixed price and a record you can show a committee. Every video project is scoped and priced up front. We have made video for the City of Prince George and the City of Coquitlam.

Hiring a video production company? What to check first.

Choosing a video production company in Vancouver

Ask who the video is for before you ask about cameras. A good company plans the viewer, the channel and the message before the shoot. Then check the practical parts: when the first cut arrives, how many rounds of changes are included, which formats you get, and who keeps the raw footage. Setsail agrees the deliverables, timeline and price before filming, sends a first cut within 5 to 7 business days of the shoot, and archives your footage for you.

Videographer vs video production company

A videographer can film and edit a strong piece. A production company adds the planning around it: a script and storyboard you approve, a crew on the day, and edits cut for each place the video runs. Setsail adds one more layer. The team that films your video also runs ads, social media and websites, so every cut is planned for the feed, ad or page it will live on.
