Is the Journeyman approach right for you?

Since 2008, Journeyman has built a reputation as trusted and experienced Video Storytelling Experts. We're based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and we produce content for both local and global scale clients. That means we are no stranger to passports and logistics to support the creative video production and video marketing we do for clients. We've filmed across Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia and in remote First Nations communities up north, as well as in Singapore, Oman, The Gambia, UK, New Orleans, and Houston USA. Here in Halifax, we tackle creative strategy, planning, writing and research as well as editing/delivery. We work with the most talented video production camera and sound recording crews we can find in any locations where we film.

There’s a lot of choice when it comes to video production companies. Given the low cost of video equipment and the exploding demand for video content, there’s a new video shop in every basement -- just as there's a new craft beer brewer on every second corner in Nova Scotia. That’s a good thing for everyone! 

We are more than videographers with camera gear and drones and we believe there is more to the art of video production than slow motion beauty shots and shallow depth of field. We have an extensive background as producers in documentary film and TV production. In order to stand out and offer something truly valuable to clients, we use our experience to produce video content that is human rather than corporate, genuine and authentic rather than slick or cool, and we focus on story structure based on the hero’s journey, because we know it resonates with audiences when you have an important message to deliver. 

We have produced all genres of video content: live action (real people on location) and animation video, short 15 or 30 second commercials for social or TV broadcast, 45 minute safety training films, 2 minute explainer animation videos, internal communications, Government relations, 5 minute videos, 8 minute videos, 22 minute documentary films, video content to sell stuff or sell ideas, and content to persuade people and change minds. More and more, we strive to give clients optimum value for their video investment by repurposing video content in re-cuts, where, for example, a 4 minute video, has 1 minute or 3 x 30 second versions, depending on the need and the content distribution platforms and audience.

We can do it all. And after 16 years of client focused creative production, we know how we can help clients best. That’s helping organizations use real people to tell their story, strategically. We are skilled and experienced at helping everyday people feel comfortable with the process of production, so they can support our research or confidently appear on camera! We film people on location (live action video), and we also produce animation. We use the classic tools of filmmaking to transform story elements (ordinary people, facts and messaging) into watchable video content. 

We’re especially good at partnering with larger corporate or government teams since we have the track record and proven maturity to wrap our heads around complex subjects and strict brand guidelines, AND we know how to push clients out of the corporate mould and toward something that is simply more human.

We are especially drawn to work on subjects that might be misunderstood, because we like the challenge of taking people on a journey toward a new point of view, one that might be surprising. That’s very satisfying work for us, and clients appreciate it.

We enjoy a deep dive into such diverse subjects as health, energy, industry, First Nations, defence, economic development, and heterodox ideas on society.
