What We Produce
Tech Video Production, Four Ways
Four formats cover almost every brief from a seed-stage startup to an enterprise product team. Most companies end up using two of them across a launch cycle.
Hardware and product demo videos
Precise lighting and camera work that turn a spec sheet into visual proof: the design, the function, and the engineering a buyer can actually see. Consumer electronics and devices sit on our product video production page; robotics and industrial hardware filmed on a live floor sit on manufacturing video production.
Startup and investor pitch films
A raise needs a narrative. Brand films that put the founders, the vision, and the traction on screen for VCs, board members, and strategic buyers, in the two minutes before the deck opens. Our promotional video production page covers the format in depth.
Software and app overviews
Screen capture, UI animation, and live-action footage combined to show exactly how your platform solves the problem. Built for landing pages, app store listings, and onboarding. Deeper step-by-step walkthroughs are explainer videos, and we produce those too.
Customer success and case study videos
Let a real customer prove the impact. Interviews with the teams using your product, cut with footage of it in use, become the social proof that shortens an enterprise sales cycle. See testimonial video production for the format.
Building a fintech product where the story is more finance than software, and the marketing goes through compliance? Our finance and fintech video production page covers advisor profiles, investor updates, and regulated review.

Our Process
How Your Tech Video Gets Made
Five steps, two founders watching every one of them. You always know what happens next, and so does your product team.
Discovery and brief
We start with the audience (users, buyers, investors, or recruits), the launch or funding date the video needs to hit, and the one thing a viewer must understand by the end. That single idea shapes every decision after it.
Product deep-dive and script
We sit with your product managers and subject matter experts, sign your NDA, and learn the product until we can explain it back to you. Then we write the script and storyboard, translating features into benefits, and you approve both before anything is filmed.
The shoot
Hardware gets a controlled studio with lighting built for reflective surfaces and small details. Culture, founder, and customer footage gets filmed in your office or theirs. Software gets clean screen capture and UI recordings. Most projects use two of the three.
Edit and technical review
We cut, grade, mix, and build motion graphics and UI animation, then run two structured rounds of revisions on Frame.io, where your engineers confirm every feature and claim is accurate before it ships.
Delivery
Final files in every length and aspect ratio your website, app store listing, investor deck, and social channels need, timed to your launch day, with the raw footage available on request. You own all of it, outright.

Why Lapse
Why Toronto Tech Companies Choose Lapse Productions
Most tech companies arrive knowing exactly what their product does and no clear way to make a non-technical audience care. That gap is our job. We learn the product from the people who built it, find the benefit inside the feature, and translate it into a video that works for a first-time viewer and works for the launch, the raise, or the sales cycle behind it.
We are chameleons: any stack, any stage, any audience. Across tech we produce recruitment videos for engineering hiring, event coverage for launches, hackathons, and industry summits, and trade show video for the booth and the follow-up, and this industry work is one part of our full video production services in Toronto.
Founder-led delivery
Dario and Kyrill, the co-founders, run every project personally, from the first call through final delivery. No account managers, no handoffs. Meet the team.
Translating the complex into the compelling
We do not just point a camera at a product. We work with your product managers and marketing leads before the shoot, so the features that matter most reach the screen as benefits a buyer, a user, or an investor understands in seconds.
Launch dates are sacred
Tech moves on a calendar of releases, updates, and funding announcements that do not slip. We plan production backwards from your go-live date, hold efficient shoot days, and turn edits around fast enough to keep it.
Hardware and software, one team
Studio lighting for a device, UI animation for a platform, and live-action footage for the people behind both, produced by the same crew. One booking covers the physical product and the digital one, and everything matches.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we get asked most about tech video, answered straight.
How much does tech video production cost in Toronto?
Most tech video projects at Lapse Productions land between $3,410 and $8,000. A founder interview and office b-roll sits at the low end, while a studio hardware shoot with 2D or 3D animation to explain the technology sits higher. There are no fixed packages: you set the scope and we quote our itemized rates against it. Our video production pricing page shows the full rate card, and our guide to what a video costs explains what moves the number.
Our product is highly technical. Will you understand how to film it?
Yes. We are not engineers, and we do not need to be: our job is translating complex, technical concepts into visual stories a non-technical audience follows. During pre-production we work with your product managers and subject matter experts until we can explain the product back to you, so the shoot captures exactly the features and value that matter to your audience.
Do you film physical hardware or just software?
Both. We light and film hardware, robotics, and consumer electronics in a controlled studio so they look as good as they are engineered, and we produce screen recordings, UI animation, and walkthroughs for purely digital products. Many projects combine the two. For deep-dive software walkthroughs, see our explainer video production page.
We are a stealth startup with unreleased technology. Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We regularly work with pre-launch startups, hardware developers, and enterprise IT teams handling proprietary technology, and every member of the crew signs a non-disclosure agreement before the shoot. Unreleased features and IP stay confidential, and footage is stored securely until delivery.
Can you film at our office, or do we need a studio?
It depends on the creative. Day-in-the-life brand videos, culture spots, and founder interviews are usually strongest filmed in your own Toronto office, where the space tells part of the story. A physical product that needs controlled lighting and a clean background gets a professional studio, which we arrange. Plenty of projects use both in one shoot.
Do you service tech hubs outside of downtown Toronto?
Yes. We film tech companies across the GTA and the major Ontario tech hubs, including Kitchener-Waterloo, Markham, and Mississauga, from a hardware prototype in a lab to a product reveal on a conference stage. Travel is itemized in your quote.
