THE TALO DIFFERENCE
There’s certainly a lot of choice when it comes to digital video and content creation. We find ourselves in an age where anyone can own high end camera and editing gear with relative ease!
The true ART of the work will always speak for itself though. An understanding of story through COLOUR, TONE and LIGHT that is a little harder to achieve.
The challenge is in creating images and sounds that serve the story and evoke the appropriate emotion.
Can YOU afford to take the risk when it’s YOUR commercial, film project or the brand identity on the line?
Don’t worry, we’ve got this!

TALO Films is led by Simon Jaynes, supported by a trusted network of Cinematographers, Editors, Colorists and Storytellers who join projects as needed. We scale up or down – bringing in the right specialists for the right story.
Below is an example of the core creative roles we draw from on typical productions.
CreatIVE direction & story
Every with a clear story. Our creative partners help shape concepts, treatments, scripts, interview questions, visual direction, and the overall narrative approach. This collaborative pre-production stage ensures the message is strong, aligned with your goals, and ready for production.
CINEMATOGRAPHY & FIELD PRODUCTION
“From documentary crews to commercial shoots and multi-camera live environments, our production collaborators bring cinematic instinct, technical reliability, and on-set experience. Whether it’s intervies, run-and-gun storytelling, or controlled studio setups, we build the right team for the visual style your project needs.
aerial cinematography
Advanced drone certifications in Canada and the United States, our aerial cinematography adds unmatched perspective to your story. From sweeping landscapes to industrial site work, we bring safe, legal, and visually compelling aerial capture to your production.
Post-Production & Editorial
Our editors and post-production specialists shape the story once the cameras stop rolling, handling everything from assembly to pacing, sound design, colour grading, motion elements, and delivery. This stage brings the project together and ensures it feels polished.
Manitoba, Simon has worked as a DP, Director, Film Editor, Colorist and Motion Graphics Artist.
MOTION GRAPHICS AND VISUAL DESIGN
For projects requiring elevated visual identity, designers and motion artists bring animation, map sequences, branding graphics, lower thirds, title design, and visual effects to life. These elements enhance communication and give your video a professional, modern look.
DIGITAL IMAGING AND DATA MANAGEMENT
Modern productions rely on strong technical foundations. Our DIT and technical workflow crew handle media wrangling, backups, transcodes, colour pipeline setup, and on-set problem solving. This ensures your footage is safe, organized, and ready for post-production.
