Okotoks runs on trades, agriculture, and a main street of businesses that have been at it for decades, with professional services growing behind them. Video production in Okotoks usually starts from the same place: the work is excellent and the website undersells it. We’re twenty-five minutes south of Calgary on Highway 2, so the drive costs you nothing.
Company stories and recruitment films for shops and operations competing hard for good people. Customer-facing pieces that explain what a business actually does. We film in shops, on job sites, and on acreages, and we build safety briefings and PPE requirements into the plan.
Events are the second lane: community fundraisers, business functions, and performances around town and the wider Foothills, including High River. For anything that wants atmosphere, the Sheep River valley and the ranch country west of town give a film a sense of place.
Four people, one booking
ShortWave is four people who do the whole job in-house: direction, cinematography, editing, motion graphics, photography. For an Okotoks business that means the film, the social cutdowns, and the team photos all come out of a single production booking. It also means the crew in your shop is small enough to work around you for the day.
