A brand film for a local roastery, start to finish

The shoot comes in.

Every card from the shoot is copied twice, checked, and organised into bins before anyone touches the edit.

Why it mattersTwo-camera interviews on Sony Cinema Line bodies, recorded in 10-bit S-Log3. You get the latitude of a real film set, and your footage is never at risk.

Find the story.

We cut a radio edit from the owner’s interview first: the strongest lines, in the order that makes people feel something.

Why it mattersMost videographers start with pretty shots. We start with the story, so the finished piece actually sells.

Lay in the B-roll.

The roaster, the grinder, the pour, the regulars. Every cutaway is timed to the words and the beat.

Why it mattersWe shoot B-roll from a shot list written around the interview, so every image earns its place.

Colour grade.

Flat log footage becomes a finished look: contrast, skin tones and warmth, matched across both cameras.

Why it mattersGraded on scopes, not by eye on a laptop, so it looks right on a phone, a TV or a cinema screen.

Sound design and mix.

Dialogue cleaned, music ducked under the voice, then the grinder, the pour and the room layered back in.

Why it mattersAudio is half the film. Every piece is mixed to streaming loudness, so it never sounds weak next to the ad before it.

Titles and finishing.

Lower thirds, the end card and brand typography, matched to the client’s identity.

Why it mattersDesigned in-house by the same team that shot it, never dropped in from a template.

Export for every platform.

One master, then versions framed for YouTube, Reels, TikTok and the feed, all rendering at once.

Why it mattersEach version is reframed by hand, not auto-cropped, so nothing important gets cut off.

Wrapped.

Shot, cut, graded, mixed and delivered. Most films land in 5–7 business days.

Why it mattersOne team from the first call to the final file, so nothing gets lost between people.

Delivered for every screen.

“I’m in real estate, and after 3 years I was tired of the same basic listing videos from my previous videographer. I stumbled upon ShotByColes Media and all I can say is… wow. Each property we film shows the true feel of the home. And I can’t believe the turnaround times and pricing.”

Everything in-house

We own our gear and do the work ourselves: Sony Cinema Line cameras, Mavic drones with Hasselblad sensors, lighting, audio and a growing prop department. Every project is edited in Final Cut Pro and colour graded here, with no rentals and no outsourced edits. That’s how we keep prices down without cutting corners.

Based in the heart of St. Catharines, Ontario, and working across Niagara and the GTA.

Questions

How do payments work?

We take cash, e-Transfer or PayPal. In most cases, full payment locks in your production date. When full payment isn’t required, a 50% non-refundable retainer is needed to cover the work that happens before production.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. Every package is a flat price, so the shoot day stays focused on the work instead of the clock.

How long until I get my video?

Most projects are delivered in 5–7 business days. Urgent work, like real estate listings, can be delivered within 48 hours.

Are there hidden fees?

No. We only charge extra for time beyond what your package includes. Most packages cover travel and expenses up to a set amount; past that it’s $0.50/km and $100 per extra hour of filming.

Do you offer bulk or repeat-client discounts?

Legacy clients (2012–2020) get a small discount applied automatically. New clients get incentives, and we do our best to work within your budget. Bulk packages are available for most services.

What if the result isn’t what I wanted?

All services are non-refundable, because crew hours and equipment go into every project. We recommend looking at your budget, your needs and our portfolio before booking, and we’re happy to talk it through first.

Can I cancel?

Yes, with at least 3 days’ notice. Your retainer is refunded unless time has already gone into the project, such as meetings, storyboarding or pre-production.

We hate forms too, so this one just writes a text for you. Fill in what you can and send it straight to Val.
