Based in Vancouver, BC, Mammothic Films has partnered with businesses in neighbouring Washington State and clients across Canada. We also handle cross-border projects for teams that need one company to shoot on both sides of the line. Our work runs to corporate films, brand and commercial spots, and event coverage. If it is in the Northwest or spans the border, that is the work we do. You can see how we approach corporate video production on this page. Below is our work.
Full-service video production companies manage the project from the brief through final delivery. That can include concept development, scriptwriting, casting, locations, filming and editing. Ask which of those tasks the proposal includes. A single point of contact helps when that person can make decisions and keep the whole production moving.
A corporate video production company creates content for customers, employees, investors and other business audiences. Projects can include company profiles, leadership interviews, recruitment videos, customer stories and training. For an interview project, watch a complete interview rather than judge the company by its commercial reel. Listen for clear answers, clean sound and an edit that holds together.
Commercial production companies create video for advertising campaigns. The work can involve creative treatments, actors, sets, product demonstrations and several versions for different placements. Tell the producer where the ad will run before asking for a quote. A campaign that needs vertical edits and alternate openings should be planned for those versions before filming.
Animation studios build videos using illustrations, characters, motion graphics or 3D assets. They suit projects that need to explain something difficult to film, such as a software workflow or an internal product process. Ask for a complete video in the style you need. Check whether the explanation makes sense before being impressed by the movement.
These studios build stories around real people, interviews and recorded activity. They can suit founder stories, customer experiences and films about an organization’s purpose. Watch how the story develops over the full video. Attractive footage helps, but the interviews and edit still need to give the viewer a reason to care.
Event teams capture activity that happens on a fixed date. Social video teams create content for particular platforms and viewing habits. Your project may need both. Specify whether you need full presentations, a highlight film, interviews or short vertical edits. Those deliverables require different coverage, even when they come from the same event.
Mammothic Films produces live-action, animated and mixed-media videos for businesses and organizations. We manage creative development, filming and post-production for corporate communications, marketing, interviews and training.

Its portfolio includes professional services and technical subjects, making it worth considering when the production team needs to turn detailed business information into a clear explanation.

Focus Media Video Production creates corporate, commercial, product and event content. Its services also include automotive filming with car camera crane systems, making it relevant for vehicle campaigns alongside business video projects.
Start with location and the kind of shoot. A commercial with a full crew, a lighting package, and a location favors a company in a production hub with the gear and the people on hand. An interview series or an event needs a dependable crew more than a big soundstage. Match the company’s core work to yours. A B2B animation company and a cinematic commercial house are both video production, and they are built for different briefs.
Then check three things. Look at a recent reel, not the highlight from five years ago. Ask who is on the crew for your specific shoot, since some companies subcontract. And get the budget model in writing, whether that is a day rate or a per-video price, so the quote and the invoice match.
After more than 15 years producing videos, we advise settling the production details before a crew is booked. A quote becomes useful when you can connect the price to the work and the finished videos you will receive.
Most professional business videos cost between $4,300 and $32,500 per project. The ranges in our video production cost guide give you a starting point for planning.
| Type of video | Typical project range |
|---|---|
| Corporate video | $4,500 to $22,700 |
| Commercial or ad | $8,800 to $53,700 |
| Testimonial | $2,300 to $13,300 |
| Training video | $2,900 to $12,200 |
| Event highlight video | $2,400 to $9,700 |
| Full event coverage | $3,200 to $16,400 |
| Social media video | $1,000 to $6,000 per video |
A finished-minute rate does not establish the cost of live-action production. A 60-second video can require several locations and shoot days. Ask for a project quote that identifies the filming and finished versions. Compare the same deliverables before comparing prices.
Allow time for planning, production, editing and approvals. These published schedules provide starting points for different scopes. Your producer should confirm the schedule for your brief.
| Type | Typical timeline |
|---|---|
| Corporate video | 4 to 6 weeks, depending on filming and deliverables |
| 1 to 2 minute animated corporate video | 4 to 6 weeks of production work, plus any approval delays |
| Commercial campaign | Approximately 7 to 12 weeks from concept development through delivery |
| 10 to 30 second motion graphics package | 1 to 3 weeks for our published short-form package |
The examples reflect schedules described by Mammothic Films, Creamy Animation and Feel Right Inc.. The short-form schedule applies to our published package.
Give the producer your launch date before the scope is finalized. Also identify who approves the script and edit at that point. A filming date is only one part of the schedule. The project still needs decisions and consolidated feedback to reach final delivery.
We started with Clutch’s video production listings in October 2026, excluding sponsored and featured placements from the selection process. We used US locations, client reviews and each company’s own website to assess the companies included. This is not a paid placement.
The list brings together companies with different specialties. Choose by the work you need, where filming will happen and the team’s relevant experience.
There are thousands, from one-person operations to national studios. This list includes live-action production companies, animation studios and post-production specialists with stated US locations.
It ranges widely. A short single-location shoot can run a few thousand dollars, while a national commercial with a full crew and talent runs into five or six figures. Companies price either by the day, meaning crew and gear per day plus edit, or per finished video. Ask which model a company uses before comparing quotes.
A production company shoots and edits the video. An agency plans the campaign and strategy around it, and may hire a production company to shoot. Some companies do both. Check which side of that line a company sits on for your project.
Los Angeles and New York are the largest. Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, and Miami all have deep crew bases and active studios. The companies in this guide are listed individually rather than grouped by city.
Check that the video sits on the company’s own website, YouTube or Vimeo channel. Ask what the company handled on the project. A company may have supplied filming, editing or animation rather than the whole production.
Not always. Many companies travel for shoots, and some run national productions from one base. Local helps for a fast turnaround or repeat work. For a one-off, the right crew matters more than the zip code.
Many can, and it is worth asking upfront. Shooting with the social versions in mind changes framing and length, so it is better decided before the shoot than after.
Your goal for the video, where it will run, the rough length, the shoot location, your timeline, and your budget range. The more of that a company has, the closer the first quote will be to the final one.
We do, mainly in Washington State and the Pacific Northwest, and on cross-border projects that need production on both sides of the Canada line.
This list includes live-action production companies, animation studios and post-production specialists with stated US locations. Pick by where your shoot is and what kind of video it is, look at recent work, and confirm the crew and the budget model before you sign. For projects in the Pacific Northwest or across the Canada border, that is the work our own team handles.
