Our US-based company is moving to adopt our in-person training content to the online and virtual environment. We needed to find a video production vendor that was professional and knowledgable in this area and also had the personality that fit well with our corporate culture. Our search led us to VekLabs in Calgary, Alberta. Andrew and Riley had online meetings with us to verify the scope of the project and precisely the goals we wanted to achieve. VekLabs arranged for the filming location and all the required infrstructure to be successful. We filmed onsite for two very long days to capture all the content and the atmosphere was consistently positive and professional. The video files that were captured were coded and sent to our video editing lab within 24 hours post-production. We were blown away by the customer service and the quality of work. As our company continues to move forward with other video projects, we are looking forward to working with the amazing team from VekLabs again!March 11, 2021

Overall Experience: The Vek Labs team is world-class when it comes to video production. I have worked with them on a few projects, both as a client and then had the unbelievable experience to collab with them on another project. Their entire process is incredible. They communicate throughout the project, asking all of the questions they need to understand every project then follow up to ensure that the client is on the same page. Then when they show up they are completely prepared and take command of the shoot. This process shows in their finished product, which is always best-in-class. I wouldn't hire anyone else for a video production other than Vek Labs, no matter where it is!

Overall Experience: Was an amazing experience! There entire team is incredible easy to work with and brought a very unique perspective and story to the project that we brought them which was a corporate 10th Anniversary video. From the raw footage that they took to the story that they created we could not have been more excited and satisfied with the final product. It was a very short timeline and they were able to do the full project turnaround from filming to final product within a few weeks! Great team and a great company overall, would 100% recommend.

Overall Experience: We are thrilled with our experience with Vek Labs and will continue to be a repeat client. They provide the perfect combination of youthful creativity, mature professionalism, exceptional skill, and focused yet fun attitude. We approached our project with several very specific outcomes and expectations. Vek delivered on these requirements (on site footage, B roll, audio, messaging, mood) and added their own knowledge and perspective to our initial concept to create a high quality final product. They were very responsive and accommodating through all aspects of the project including last minute edits on tight timelines. We're happy to provide a five star rating and look forward to working with Vek again in the future.

Overall Experience: We were blown away with the enthusiasm, professionalism and skill the Vek Labs team brought to the table. We hired Andrew and his team to create a short video highlighting the important work that we do as a not-for-profit organization here in Calgary. The team not only met our expectations with our video vision, but truly captured the essence of what we do day to day. We will definitely be using Vek Labs again in the future. Thank you!!!
