Frequently asked questions
Do I need a licensed drone operator?
If your video includes aerial footage, yes — commercial drone flying requires a licensed/certified operator in most countries, plus insurance and airspace permissions. Don't let someone fly a drone for paid work without the right certification; it's a legal and safety risk.
How much does videography cost?
It scales with crew, kit and post-production. A half-day single-videographer event shoot is the entry point; a full day costs more; a scripted corporate or promo video with a crew, multi-camera setup and edited deliverable is the top of the range. Editing time is often a large, separate part of the bill.
Who owns the footage and the final video?
Clarify this in writing. Usually the videographer licenses the final edit to you for agreed uses, and raw footage is extra or retained. If you need full ownership or broad usage rights (ads, broadcast), say so up front — it affects price and the contract.
How do I find a good videographer in Fairview?
In Fairview, watch full sample videos (not just showreels) in your style, confirm deliverables and revision rounds in writing, check insurance and drone certification if needed, and agree usage rights before booking. Judge editing quality as hard as camera work.
What should a videography quote include?
Shoot time, crew size, equipment (cameras, audio, lighting, drone if used), number of edited deliverables and their length, revision rounds, music licensing, usage rights, and delivery format and timeline. A one-line day rate with no deliverable spec is a red flag.
One videographer or a full crew?
A single videographer suits interviews, small events and social content. A crew (second camera, dedicated audio, lighting) is worth it for multi-location shoots, live events you can't re-shoot, and high-production promos. Match the crew to the stakes of the footage.
Why does editing cost so much?
Because it's where most of the hours go. A day of filming can take several days to edit — cutting, colour grading, sound, motion graphics and revisions. When comparing quotes, check how much edited footage you get and how many revision rounds are included, not just the shoot day rate.
What does a videographer cost in Canada?
Half-day shoots typically run CAD 500-1,800, full days CAD 1,200-4,500, and corporate videos CAD 2,500-12,000.
