Empower your Saskatoon video production with an award-winning video crew
Filming corporate video is a high-priority area for companies of all kinds. If your brand isn’t creating impressive visual content, you may be falling behind competitors. To keep up, you can use some of the same tactics favored by Hollywood movie and TV productions, including filming on-location in versatile, affordable destinations. Saskatoon, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan, can fill this role.
Saskatoon is reachable by air, with an international airport 10 minutes from downtown. By plane or train, you can assemble stakeholders and talent from elsewhere in Canada or the U.S. Once in town, you’ll find a small but vibrant downtown and breathtaking natural landscapes on all sides. Despite its northern location, Saskatoon experiences hot summers with plenty of sun, giving you the ability to capture bold, bright outdoor footage.
Saskatoon is a perfect place to film charming Main Street scenes, modern art galleries or bucolic river vistas. If you venture into the Saskatchewan wilderness, you can take in a variety of plains and grasslands that change with the seasons. With an expert camera crew by your side, you can turn all these sights into the setting for your next corporate video.
Why work with video experts in Saskatoon?
Whether you’re filming in Saskatoon for the first time or the hundredth, it pays to work with people who know the region. These local professionals can provide insights on finding the best backdrops and B-roll locations and advise on the best seasons for outdoor filming.
Crews Control pairs businesses exclusively with film crews who understand their respective home bases. Your internal stakeholders and talent will never feel like strangers when they’re working with these experts, saving you time and helping your people focus on their own roles and responsibilities.
In addition to their local knowledge, Crews Control professionals come to every job with a strong grounding in the creative and technical aspects of corporate video production. In today’s demanding and competitive media landscape, this level of expertise can immediately elevate the quality of your company’s finished videos.

One reason to focus on building your video production infrastructure is the wide variety of use cases for the finished content.

Working with an expert video crew gives you access to a variety of tones and visual styles. Some clips are best served by looking candid and simple, while others are well-suited to Hollywood-level production values.

What makes Saskatoon a unique filming destination?
No two cities are just alike. Even within the region of Canada’s western plains, there are a variety of experiences available — whether in Winnipeg to Calgary to Edmonton — but none exactly the same as Saskatoon. When you arrive in town, you and your Crews Control, team will quickly discover details that affect the local filming experience, including:
- A deep history involving multiple indigenous cultures: Native peoples have lived in and traveled across the Saskatoon area for millennia, since long before the founding of the city. Groups inhabiting the area include the Cree, Salteaux, Blackfoot, Métis Dene and Nakota Sioux. Engaging with representatives of these groups can provide a unique perspective.
- Nostalgic and fun transportation experiences: Attractions like the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum and the sightseeing Wheatland Express train add local character to Saskatoon, and could make fun features in your corporate video.
- Natural landscapes that shift with the seasons: While the Saskatchewan winter may be too cold for standard outdoor filming, videos of the snow and ice could make excellent B-roll for a video. The summer in Saskatoon is one of the sunniest anywhere in Canada and provides the perfect time for uninterrupted on-location shooting.
- A bustling downtown culture: While Saskatoon is small relative to other cities, you can find hip, modern breweries and distilleries, along with modern art installations and theaters. These cultural spots make an exciting contrast with the rolling plains around the city.
From the moment you step off a plane at the airport, you’ll begin taking in the sights and sounds of Saskatoon, empowering your video production strategy and fueling high-quality content creation, potentially for years to come.
Our Saskatoon video crews: Experience and gear
One factor can have an outsized impact on a video shoot’s timeline and overall success — the experience of the person in charge. A long-tenured director of photography can apply lessons from their career to keep a production on time and under budget, even when unexpected complications arise. This is why Crews Control works with directors of photography who have spent at least 10 years in the industry.
Effective, up-to-date gear also plays a role in managing a successful video production. When crew members have access to the latest and greatest in filmmaking technology, they can deliver high-quality visuals and audio that will impress audiences for years to come. To keep up with the march of progress in the video space, Crews Control teams use advanced equipment from Sony, Panasonic, Canon, JVC, Ikegami, Thompson (Philips), Hitachi, RED and Arriflex.

I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
