Your Story is a visual storytelling studio and video production company in Vancouver, BC, making commercials, brand films and corporate video for brands and agencies.
We’re a Vancouver video production company built around a simple belief: the best work starts with something worth communicating. From commercial production and brand films to corporate video production for Vancouver organizations and national brands, we bring strategy, creative direction, production and post-production together under one roof. Every project is shaped with intention, grounded in something human, and made to stay with you.

























City, coast, forest, mountain. Vancouver gives us an uncommon range of places to tell a story, inside a film industry that earned the city the name Hollywood North, with sound stages from Burnaby to North Vancouver. We pair that range with experienced local crews and a production approach shaped around the needs of each project.
Selected commercial, brand, and corporate productions managed from planning through final delivery.
Every story is different. The principles behind great storytelling are not. Shaped over more than a decade and thousands of stories, the Your Story Structure™ brings clarity to the creative process by aligning three interdependent forces.
Every story is different. The principles behind great storytelling are not. Shaped over more than a decade and thousands of stories, the Your Story Structure™ brings clarity to the creative process by aligning three interdependent forces.
Understanding who the story is for, when they’ll experience it, and what they bring with them.
Shaping the story through structure, perspective, rhythm, emotion, and visual intention.
Defining what the audience should feel, remember, perceive, or do because the story exists.
We oversee the structure behind each production, aligning budgets, schedules, permits, crew, logistics and communication from pre-production through filming.Our Vancouver producers build a clear, controlled process around local realities, so the creative team can focus on the work while every detail moves forward as planned.
We provide location sourcing, scouting, permitting and production coordination across Vancouver: the brick and cobblestone of Gastown, the glass towers of Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and the seawall, the beaches of Kitsilano, the North Shore mountains and the Sea to Sky corridor, along with studios, businesses and private properties. Each location is evaluated for its visual relevance, accessibility, technical requirements and ability to support the production safely and efficiently.
We coordinate transportation, accommodation and travel for cast, crew, equipment and production personnel in Vancouver, from YVR arrivals to ferry crossings and the Sea to Sky Highway. From local shoots to multi-city productions, every movement is planned around the schedule to keep the team aligned.
We assemble experienced production crews in Vancouver around the needs of each project. Decades of film and television work have given the city a deep bench of cinematographers, camera, lighting and grip crews, sound teams and specialized technicians, and our network reaches across North America.
We source and coordinate camera, lighting, grip, sound, aerial and specialized production equipment through Vancouver’s established rental houses. Each package is selected around the creative direction, shooting environment, crew requirements and budget rather than applying the same technical approach to every production.
We manage casting in Vancouver for actors, models, performers, interview subjects and real people, drawing on a talent pool shaped by the city’s screen industry. From casting calls through contracts, scheduling and on-set coordination, we identify talent that aligns with the audience and creative direction.
We develop the visual environment of each Vancouver production through set design, props, wardrobe, styling and art direction. In a city that so often stands in for somewhere else on screen, every detail is considered in relation to the story, building a cohesive world that supports the creative.
We coordinate practical special effects and stunt work with experienced specialists in Vancouver. Planning covers technical requirements, rehearsals, scheduling, budget, safety and the permits a public-space shoot may need.
We coordinate the insurance, permits, releases, agreements and production documentation required for each Vancouver project. Where a shoot needs them, we handle locations and permits, along with equipment insurance, location agreements, appearance releases, talent contracts and music considerations.
We produce TV commercials in Vancouver for broadcast, connected television, digital campaigns, social platforms and paid media, shaping every production around the idea, the audience and the feeling it needs to leave behind.
As a commercial production company in Vancouver, we bring creative development, casting, locations, cinematography, production design and post-production together with intention. The result is advertising that feels considered from first frame to final cut: visually distinctive, emotionally resonant and built to make the story stay with you.
Brand films communicate more than what a company does. They reveal what it stands for, what makes it distinct and why people should care.
Our Vancouver brand video production brings together narrative, cinematography, sound and design to explore the people, purpose, products and experiences behind a brand. Every film is shaped with intention, creating something that feels human, emotionally resonant and true to the story being told.
Your Story leads corporate video production in Vancouver for organizations that need to communicate clearly with employees, customers, investors, partners and the broader public.
From company stories and leadership films to recruitment videos, culture pieces, internal communications and investor narratives, we shape complex information into stories people can understand and connect with. Every production carries the same narrative thinking and cinematic craft, so the work feels considered, human and worth watching.
Great product videos do more than show what something looks like. They make people understand why it matters.
We create product videos in Vancouver that bring features, details and real-world use to life through cinematic visuals and purposeful storytelling. From lifestyle-driven films and product launches to demonstrations, campaigns and social cutdowns, every production is built around how the product should be experienced, not just displayed.
From concept and creative direction through filming, motion, sound and post-production, we shape each piece to feel distinctive, considered and true to the brand behind it.
The best interviews don’t feel scripted. They feel like real people saying something worth listening to.
We produce interview videos in Vancouver for brand films, corporate communications, leadership stories, testimonials, documentaries and campaigns. From lighting and sound to interview direction and editorial structure, we shape the entire environment around the conversation, helping people feel comfortable on camera and creating interviews that feel natural, thoughtful and genuinely human.
Good advertising earns attention before it asks for action.
We create video ads in Vancouver for paid social, YouTube, digital campaigns, connected TV and online platforms, combining strategic thinking with cinematic storytelling to make brands hard to scroll past.
From concept and creative development through production and post, every piece is built around the audience, the platform and the response it needs to create. The result is advertising people actually want to watch: distinctive, memorable and made to move.
Complex ideas don’t need to feel complicated.
We create live-action explainer videos in Vancouver that turn products, services, processes and big ideas into stories people can quickly understand and remember. When a story is better told through animation or motion design, our Vancouver animation studio takes it on, and we combine formats where that is the clearest way to communicate what matters.
From concept and scripting through production and post, every explainer is shaped around the audience, making information easier to follow without losing the character, personality or meaning behind it.
The strongest proof rarely comes from the brand itself.
We produce testimonial videos in Vancouver that turn real customer and client experiences into credible, compelling stories. Through thoughtful interview direction and a relaxed production environment, we help people speak naturally about what changed, what mattered and why the experience stayed with them.
From customer testimonials and client stories to case study videos, we shape each conversation into a clear narrative that builds trust without feeling scripted or overly polished. The most persuasive stories are the ones people believe.
The best events create moments people want to carry with them.
We provide event video production in Vancouver for conferences, launches, activations, experiential campaigns, corporate events and live brand environments. Our approach combines documentary-style capture with cinematic filmmaking to preserve both what happened and what it felt like to be there.
From multi-camera coverage and interviews to photography, highlight films, social cutdowns and same-day edits, we build coverage around the needs of each event, creating a library of films that extends its impact long after the room clears.
We work with a curated roster of commercial directors, bringing different perspectives, visual languages, and areas of expertise to each production. Projects are matched with directors based on the story, creative direction, audience, and needs of the campaign.

On set








From the North Shore mountains to the Fraser River and the downtown skyline, aerial footage gives a Vancouver production its sense of scale. Your Story is licensed and insured for drone work, and we plan every flight around Transport Canada rules, controlled airspace near YVR and the harbour, park and city permits, and coastal weather, so aerial filming fits into the shoot day instead of slowing it down.
Our studio model is built around bringing together the right creative and production talent for each project. We are always interested in meeting experienced directors, producers, cinematographers, production crew, photographers, editors, animators, and other specialists working in Vancouver. If your work reflects strong craft, thoughtful decision-making, and a collaborative approach, introduce yourself and share your portfolio.

Cost is driven by creative ambition: cast, crew, locations, shoot days, gear and the look of the final image.
