Canadian Arctic - Market Advisory Service

The Canadian Arctic’s breathtaking beauty and renowned cultural landscape presents an opportunity for production companies and other organizations to visit the north and capture moments, scenery and events that are unique to this part of the world.

While the Arctic represents a magical filming opportunity, it also presents unique environmental characteristics that organizations need to consider in order to meet their production goals. These are often related to climate, travel, lighting, culture, lodging and government regulations.

VDOpro’s Arctic advisory services are designed to help clients fully capitalize on the Arctic opportunity, while successfully navigating challenges to achieve their filming objectives in a cost effective and efficient manner. Our range of capabilities are geared to facilitation, organization, management and scheduling in the following areas:

  • Onsite production consulting and support

  • Access to local cultural resources

  • Location scouting

  • Government relations and regulatory requirements

  • Lodging, transportation and foodservice

  • Short-term professional-grade photography and video production equipment rentals

From video production and photography, to advisory services and equipment rentals, we ensure the visual and audio needs of local and out-of-market clients are met.

  • "Working within a tight timeline Vince went above and beyond our expectations, covering the grand opening of a new retail location, shooting additional footage and even unexpectedly sourcing a drone and pilot (amazing!) to make sure that every angle was covered. Vince was able to take our initial brief and create a compelling final product integrating interviews, music, logo graphics and footage shot with a variety of techniques and specialized equipment. He also provided valuable insight when discussing feedback, ensuring the final product was energetic, on-brand and culturally sensitive. Highly recommended and we look forward to working together on future projects!"

  • "It was a pleasure working with Vincent. He was responsive on short notice and did more than we asked for, obtaining good footage for pick-up shots that ended up being crucial to the documentary we filmed on Baffin Island. All in all it was a great experience!"

    - Kevin McMahon, Primitive Entertainment

  • "I recently worked with VDOpro on a video project about wild salmon in Nova Scotia. Vince was able to pull in many parts and make a beautifully composed video that told a clean, simple story about a most beautiful place. I would highly recommend his services."

    - Neville Crabbe, Atlantic Salmon Federation

  • "VDOPro did an excellent job on a project with a quick turnaround for our program. Vincent was professional and made great efforts to ensure the project was culturally appropriate. He made the team feel comfortable and went above and beyond to gain access to equipment that increased the quality of the project. We would highly recommend VDOPro to others for their excellent work and impressive quick service.”
