SENSORED

What we do.

SENSORED is a creative studio based in Lethbridge, Alberta. We specialize in video production and digital media for brands, businesses, artists, public institutions, and community organizations leading their industries. We work throughout Alberta and travel wherever a project needs us.

Our experience working and learning across different clients and project types allows us to bring fresh perspectives and proven approaches into new industries.

Much of our work happens in dynamic environments, on a shifting mix of planned strategy and instinct.

//How we work

We work at any scale, from running an entire media operation to covering a single role on someone else's.

Your Media Department

We build, direct, and run the entire media operation for a festival, event, or campaign.

Strategy and development, hiring and coordinating the crew, daily direction on the ground, and a pipeline that turns deliverables around while the event is still running. For organizations that need a media department rather than a vendor.

Ongoing Studio Partner

We become the production studio a brand grows with, year over year.

This takes whatever shape fits, whether that is a retainer, an annual contract, or project by project with a standing relationship. What matters is the length of it. The better we understand a brand, the better the work gets.

End-to-End Production

We take on a single project from the first conversation through to final delivery.

Sometimes a commercial is just a commercial, and there is no need to commit to anything larger. One project, scoped and finished, with one team and one point of contact throughout. Plenty of our longest relationships started exactly here.

Crew and Specialist Support

We slot into someone else's production and take on the roles they need filled.

Directing, camera operating, lighting and grip, editing, colour grading, location scouting, aerial capture, and car rig work. Agencies and production companies bring us in as crew or for a specialty capability, and we are glad to be on someone else's call sheet.

What we make

Brand and launch films

A film that introduces a company, a product, or a rebrand. Usually the anchor piece a campaign is built around.

See the work: Aurora

Short-form brand documentaries

A short documentary about the real people behind an organization, told like a film rather than an ad.

Interview-led films and testimonials

Films built around people speaking on camera. Client testimonials, staff stories, and expert interviews.

Recruitment campaigns

Video used for hiring. Shows what a job is actually like so the right people apply.

See the work: Lethbridge Fire & Emergency Services

Live events and festivals

Coverage of an event as it happens, with edits delivered during it or straight after.

Commercial and promotional

Spots and promos for broadcast, paid social, and web.

Institutional and cultural films

Films for schools, government, and community organizations, often on subjects that need care and consultation.

Music and tour content

Content for artists and tours. Stage visuals, tour announcements, and live capture.

Social content and cutdowns

Short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn, sized for each and produced on its own or cut from a larger shoot.

//Specialty capabilities

Aerial and Drone

Aerial video and photography, flown and operated in house. Transport Canada Advanced Operations RPAS certified, which covers controlled airspace, flying near airports, and flying close to people.

Car Rig

In-house rig, rated to carry a full cinema camera and mounted to a vehicle for dynamic rolling shots. We have run it on automotive spots, emergency and fire response, and farm equipment in the field.

//Supporting services

We are video first, but it's rare that a project only needs a video. Photography, design, animation, and audio are all planned before the first shoot day to fit together, so a campaign ends up cohesive rather than assembled.

Photography

Event, editorial, lifestyle, environmental, and headshot photography. Shot alongside a production or on its own.

Podcast Production

Podcasts recorded, edited, and delivered as both audio and video. Recorded in studio or with a mobile setup on location.

Web Design and Development

Modern sites designed to load fast and run efficiently. Often where a campaign's digital media work will call home.

Marketing Strategy

Campaign planning, content strategy, and audience and channel planning. Working out what to make and where it runs before anything gets shot.

Graphic Design

Titles, lower thirds, and on-screen graphics for video. Social templates, print and signage, and visual identity work where a project needs it.
