FilmBratz

Founded in 2004 and based in Edmonton, FilmBratz produces corporate video, commercial video, explainer video and social video for clients throughout Western Canada, including regional, national and international commercial work. The company crafts stories for the agricultural sector alongside broader commercial projects, often working alongside agency creative teams and directors rather than handling every job solo.

Work spans creative concepting through final delivery, covering live-action production, 3D animation, motion graphics and editing and post-production. Directors including Dick Buckley, Randy Diplock, Morgan Gies, Aaron Kurmey, Michael Maxxis and John Spooner have contributed to projects, with Hans Dys, a partner in the business, producing the commercials referenced in the company's project history. Production teams are assembled quickly to match the scale and complexity of each job, with attention to keeping shoots running once cameras start rolling.

Projects have taken crews to varied locations and formats, from placing a dinosaur on a beach in Santa Monica to traversing steep, icy logging roads in British Columbia. Productions mix animation, special effects and live-action footage depending on what a given commercial or campaign calls for, reflecting a practice built around collaboration with client teams, agency partners and directors on each project.
