Mammothic Films is a live-action video production company in Vancouver that films customer testimonial and interview videos for businesses and nonprofits across Canada, the USA and globally. Real people, filmed on location, with a crew that knows how to make a nervous interviewee sound like themselves.
Lansky Law — a customer testimonial filmed on location and cut to 82 seconds for the client website and sales follow-up.
CLAS BC — a longer-form customer testimonial, three minutes, built to carry detail for a considered purchase.
Lloyd Tevedzai — a long-form filmed interview. The same interview setup produces both a full conversation and the short cutdowns.
of businesses are currently using video marketing as part of their content strategy.
One customer, one shoot day, one polished story for your homepage or highest-intent landing page.
Four or five testimonials filmed in a single window. One crew, one travel plan, a library of stories at a far better per-video cost.
Filmed interviews with your leadership, technical experts or customers. Long-form conversations plus the short cutdowns pulled from the same session.
Filmed where your customer actually works. The plant floor, the clinic, the job site. That environment is half the credibility.
Vertical, square and captioned cutdowns for LinkedIn, paid social and sales email, cut from the same approved edit.
We start with what the video is for. A testimonial aimed at a procurement committee is a different edit than one aimed at a founder scrolling LinkedIn.
Then we help you pick who to film. The instinct is to choose your happiest customer. The better choice is usually the customer who most resembles the prospect you are trying to win. We work through your shortlist with you, help you write the ask, and build a question set around the story arc you need.
A crew arrives, sets up and films. Two-camera interview setup as standard so the edit can cut between angles without jump cuts. Proper lighting. Lavalier and boom audio recorded separately, because bad sound kills a testimonial faster than bad picture.
Then we shoot b-roll: your customer working, the product in use, the space, the team. This is the part DIY testimonials skip, and the part that makes the difference between a talking head and a story. Interviews run 30 to 60 minutes for a video that ends up 90 seconds long.
We cut the hero version first, built around the strongest through-line in the interview, and send it for review.
Once the hero cut is locked we produce the cutdowns, captions and alternate aspect ratios from the same approved edit, so everything stays consistent across every placement.
Every testimonial project delivers a hero cut, typically 60 to 90 seconds, built for a homepage, landing page or sales deck.
Alongside it you get short cutdowns for social and sales email, burned-in and SRT captions because most of this gets watched on mute, colour-graded and sound-mixed masters, licensed music, and lower thirds and end cards matched to your brand. We also hand over the raw interview transcripts, which most clients end up mining for written testimonials and pull quotes.
We are based downtown at 422 Richards Street, and a good share of our work happens within a short drive of the office: Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and the North Shore. Knowing the city helps.
We also travel. Testimonial programs rarely have all their customers in one city, so we film elsewhere in British Columbia, across Canada and into the US when a client story is there. If your customer base is spread out we build the schedule around travel efficiency rather than pretending geography is not a cost.
Interview and testimonial projects start at $3,500. Where a project lands depends on how many customers you are filming, how many locations, whether we are travelling, how much b-roll the story needs, and how many cutdowns you want.
Batching matters more than anything else. Filming five testimonials across five separate days costs dramatically more than filming five in one well-planned window. If you are building a testimonial library, tell us at the start and we will price it as a program.
Our interview and testimonial projects start at $3,500. Final cost depends on how many customers you are filming, how many locations are involved, whether travel is required, and how many edited versions you need. Filming several testimonials in one window brings the per-video cost down significantly. We provide a written quote with full scope before any project begins.
For a homepage or landing page, 60 to 90 seconds is the working range: long enough to tell a real story, short enough that people finish it. Sales and case study versions can run two to four minutes for buyers who want detail. For social and paid placements, 15 to 30 second cutdowns perform best. We usually deliver one hero cut plus several shorter versions from the same interview.
Yes, and it is one of the most useful parts of the process. We work through your customer list and help you identify the stories that will actually move your prospects, usually the customer who most resembles the buyer you are trying to reach rather than simply your happiest account. We also help you word the request so it is easy for them to agree to.
Almost none of them have. We send a short prep note in advance so nobody arrives cold, we keep the crew small and unobtrusive, and we direct the session as a conversation rather than a performance. We also film for far longer than the finished video runs, which takes the pressure off getting it right in one take.
No. Scripted testimonials sound scripted and viewers stop trusting them. We prepare a question set built around the story you need, then direct a genuine conversation and shape it in the edit. The words stay theirs.
Yes. We are based in Vancouver, BC and work regularly throughout the Lower Mainland and British Columbia, elsewhere in Canada, and internationally when a client’s customers are there. For multi-city testimonial programs we plan the schedule to keep travel costs contained.
Three things: what you want the video to accomplish, a shortlist of customers you would be comfortable approaching, and your brand assets. From there we run a kickoff call, help finalise the customer selection, and take over scheduling and interview prep.
Yes, and it is often the smartest way to do it. Your customers are already on site, which removes the hardest scheduling problem in testimonial production. We set up a controlled filming space near the floor and run interviews back to back through the day.
