We film your people doing the real procedure, in the real place, on the real equipment — and animate the steps a camera cannot reach. Training video production for HR, learning and development, and safety teams across Canada.
Mammothic Films is a training video production company working with HR, learning and development, operations and safety teams across Canada. We come to the site, film the person who actually does the job doing it properly, and turn one shoot day into a set of short modules your team can work through.
We are based in Vancouver and travel nationally. Where a step cannot be filmed — a hazard nobody should stage, a system that lives on a screen, a process that plays out over weeks — we animate it and cut it into the footage.
of viewers finish a video under one minute. Past twenty minutes, only about one in five do — which is why we build short modules, not long recordings. (Vidyard, 2025)
of teams now make their videos accessible, captions most commonly. On a floor where everyone is wearing hearing protection, captions are not optional. (Wistia, 2026)
of teams now make at least one video a month. Training video is routine work now, not a special project. (Wistia, 2026)
We start from the procedure, not the video. What has to be learned, who has to learn it, and what goes wrong when they get it wrong. Then we walk the site — the floor, the bay, the kitchen, the ward — so we know the noise, the light, the access and the hazards before the day.
You get a shoot plan: which procedures we cover, in what order, who needs to be on camera and for how long, and what your team has to arrange. Release forms and any site safety orientation are handled at this stage, not on the morning.
A small crew comes to you — for most training work that is two people, camera and sound. Small enough to film in an active workplace without stopping it, and to fit inside a bay, a cab or a cleanroom.
We film the procedure in sequence, step by step, so it can be re-cut per role later. Your subject matter expert does it the correct way on camera while we shoot the detail — the hands, the gauges, the PPE, the part people actually get wrong.
You review a rough cut as a link with timecoded comments, so notes from safety, HR and the subject matter expert land in one place instead of three email threads.
Each module is delivered captioned and transcribed, cut short enough to hold attention, and supplied in the file specs your platform needs. Because we shot the procedure in sequence, a single step can be re-shot later when the policy changes — without rebuilding the whole video.
New hires get the same explanation on day one, in every location, whether or not the person who usually delivers it is in the building. Site orientation, systems, culture, first-week procedure.
Filmed in your actual workplace, so people recognise the rooms and the equipment before they walk into them. One shoot day usually covers a full induction series.
Safety training that shows the real hazard in the real place, filmed with your PPE and your procedure — not stock footage of somebody else’s plant.
We film to your site rules and with a spotter, and we do not stage anything unsafe to get a shot. Where a hazard should not be demonstrated at all, we animate that sequence and cut it in.
The step-by-step videos that replace a binder nobody opens. Machine setup, changeover, inspection, cleaning, shutdown — filmed close enough to see the hands and the gauges.
Shot in sequence so each step is its own clip. When one part of the procedure changes we re-shoot that step, not the whole module. It is also how you capture the operator who is about to retire.
A typical training shoot is one day on site. That usually covers three to five procedures, or a full onboarding series, depending on how much setup each one needs. We work to your shift pattern and can start early or run into an evening if that is when the area is quiet.
Yes, and we would rather do it properly. Send us your site induction, PPE requirements and any restricted-area rules ahead of the day and we will complete whatever your site requires. We bring our own boots, hi-vis, eye and hearing protection.
Usually yes. A two-person crew with a small camera package can work around live production without stopping it. Where a shot genuinely needs the machine stopped or a guard removed, we plan that with your supervisor in advance and keep it to a short scheduled window.
Yes. We carry commercial general liability insurance and can issue a certificate naming your organization or site before the shoot. Tell us at booking who needs to be named and by when. We travel across Canada; travel is quoted separately and agreed up front.
Three to five is realistic for most sites. More if the procedures are short and happen in the same area, fewer if each one needs a different location, a changeover or a cleanroom entry. We will tell you honestly what fits before you book the day. See our pricing page for day rates.
We provide the release forms and send them at the planning stage so they can be signed in advance. Anyone who does not want to be on camera does not have to be — we can shoot hands-only, over the shoulder, or work with a different operator. If someone leaves the company later, the footage is still yours to use under the signed release.
Yes, and it is why we film procedures in sequence rather than as one continuous take. When a step changes we re-shoot that step and drop it into the existing module. That is a short visit instead of a new production, and the rest of the series stays untouched.
Captioned video files and transcripts in the specs your platform needs, plus the short cutdowns for refreshers and toolbox talks. Tell us the platform and required format at the briefing stage and we will deliver to it. We can also hand over the raw footage so your team can re-cut internally. Start with a quote request.
