Take5 Digital is a full-service creative video production company. We have been serving clients in London, Toronto, and across Canada since 2012. Our approach is collaborative and creative: we work with our clients’ budget and objectives to create videos that engage viewers and move them to action.
When you work with Take5, you gain access to a team of diverse talents, each with their specific roles, all working towards the collective goal of bringing your vision to life. In addition to our in-house capabilities, we collaborate with a network of skilled specialists to ensure that every project can benefit from top-tier talent while staying within budget.
From YouTube to TikTok, the internet is saturated with video content. To make sure your video stands out, we start with crafting creative concepts and visual references into a treatment.
Our experienced writers craft the perfect narration, dialogue, or scripted interview to tell your story.
Pre-production is the foundation that ensures the rest of the production goes as planned. And there is so much more involved than location scouting. Our team handles the logistics, scheduling, casting, and planning for you.
Our top-tier cameras, lighting and audio gear, and experienced crews ensure we produce premium videos that advance your business objectives.
Post-production is not just editing – sound design, graphics, animations, and colour grading are all key, and we do it all in-house. And when it’s called for, we collaborate with leading post-production facilities as well.
We will provide cut-downs (shorter duration), and multiple aspect ratios (wide, square, tall), to meet then specifications of key platforms like TV, YouTube, TikTok, and Reels, ensuring maximum engagement.

It’s no surprise that this is the question that everyone asks before proceeding with a project. And rightly so! But video projects are each unique, and have so many variables that we can’t punch a few numbers into a formula and provide a price just like that.
We usually ask our clients to give us a rough idea of their target budget, and what they are hoping to create, communicate, or achieve. From there, we will develop a concept that we can execute within that budget.
Tldr: if you want a ballpark figure, just send us a sample video you like. Otherwise, we’ll work with your budget to create a great video. Most of our projects fall in the 25k-250k range.
Professional video production requires a great deal of work which often goes unnoticed. Before the cameras can roll, we need to find locations, cast for each role, write the script, and much more.
Most commercial shoots take 1-3 days, and editing can take anywhere from a week to over a month.
Then we have to factor in the approval process on your end. Which stakeholders need to weigh in and approve our work at each step? Sometimes it’s just one signature at the end, and sometimes it’s dozens at each step of the way.
On average, a project will take 4-8 weeks from greenlight to delivery.
Take5 Digital is based in London, ON. We serve video production clients throughout Southwestern Ontario and in the GTA. But we’re not limited to those regions. We’ve traveled from coast to coast in Canada to ply our craft, and as far north as Fort McMurray. We are also available for out-of-country shoots.
