At Captivate, we take pride in the quality work we do for our clients. When you hire our creative team to craft a narrative for your brand, we understand the importance of pre-production. Once we have a script in place, the next step is to create a storyboard that helps you visualize the film before we go to camera. A storyboard is a visual representation of each sequence of a video and breaks down the action into individual panels. Employing a clearly laid out storyboard ensures that we maximize every minute we are out filming. Following the visual plan means that…

Do you need precision and detail-focused video production? Local Niagara-based industry FBT Inc. required films that showcased their advanced manufacturing solutions and tool & die machinery. Working closely with FBT Inc., the Captivate team captured their cutting-edge integration of robotics, automation and precision machining. Filming technical expertise allows us to play in the macro: to dive deep and get close and intimate with our local industries.  

Our team was approached to capture a video to highlight the 1-year milestone of the South Niagara Hospital. Check out this behind-the-scenes look at the development of this state-of-the-art Niagara healthcare facility, and hear from local leaders in Niagara Health and the Niagara Health Foundation as they discuss the positive impact this new hospital will have in the Niagara Region.

We are excited to share this Recruitment Film created for the Township of Wellesley Fire Department. The Township was looking to generate interest in volunteering for the fire department and wanted a film that was funny and exciting, also reminding applicants that anyone can apply. As always, a huge thank you to Captivate’s incredible and hardworking crew, and to the cast and Township of Wellesley firefighters. 

We are thrilled to share our collaboration with Great Wolf Lodge, Niagara’s fun, family waterpark resort. In 2023, Great Wolf Lodge contacted Captivate to create a commercial that highlighted the experience of being a guest at this multi-attraction waterpark resort. From inception to completion, our team managed the 7 day production. Sending out a casting call, we gathered talent from across Ontario, creating various families and groups of individuals that would populate the film. As part of our extensive pre-production package, the creative team storyboarded every shot, planned the production and delivered this new film with options for smaller breakout films in…

May 7-13 is Emergency Preparedness Week, a national event that is supported by Public Safety Canada, encouraging all Canadians to be prepared for an emergency.

We are so excited to share this Recruitment Film created for the Niagara Regional Fire Chiefs Association. We were asked to write, storyboard, shoot and edit a narrative commercial that will inspire and motivate new volunteers to join the team. This video featured actual volunteer firefighters re-enacting real scenarios across the various municipalities throughout the region. This was a massive project, with a high demand for vehicles, tools, locations, and personnel. Beyond our amazing crew, we’d like to extend a thank you to Jay Plato from the Niagara-on-the-Lake Fire Department who was a major asset in coordinating this ambitious project. Thank you…
