Music video production in Niagara and the GTA
Music is where ShotByColes started. We’ve brought many recording artists’ visions to the screen, from the first treatment to the final grade, with drones, lighting, props and effects all in-house.
What goes into a music video
- A concept and story built around the artist’s vision, from a basic script up to full storyboarding and directing.
- Filming on Sony Cinema Line cameras with proper lighting, drones and audio playback on set.
- A prop department with fog and fire machines and more. If we don’t have it, we can get it.
- Editing, transitions, VFX and colour science, all done in-house in Final Cut Pro.
Built for artists, priced flat
- Choose how much you need: 6, 8 or 12 hours on set, from basic story work to full directing.
- No hourly billing. You know the price before we start.
- We shoot in Niagara, Toronto and across the GTA, and we can build a social package with a trailer and graphics from the same shoot.
