Before you hire
Hiring a videographer in Vancouver
Vancouver's videographers work in Canada's largest production centre, and the City's permit process has a step that catches first-time visitors. Spexster sources videographers here through White Glove.
The Master Film Licence comes first
Most filming on City of Vancouver property and in parks requires a permit, and before any permit can be issued, no matter how short the shoot, a Master Film Licence Agreement must be in place; the City says that process can take two weeks or longer, and locations cannot be reviewed until you have applied for it. The permit itself needs at least two weeks (ten working days). For a videographer's walk-and-talk or street b-roll, start the licence a month out. Inside your office, a venue or a rented house, no City permit is needed.
Parks, beaches and the rain
Parks, beaches and the seawall are the Park Board's, a separate application with $5,000,000 of liability cover, and in high season (May long weekend to the end of September) filming in high-demand park areas must finish by mid-morning or noon. From November to March most days record some rain; July and August see rain on about one day in five with highs averaging 22 °C. Plan exteriors accordingly and book the videographer before the location.
Where supply stands
Spexster does not yet list four or more verified videographers in the Vancouver metro, so this page runs in service mode: send a brief with the dates, location and deliverables, and White Glove sources a vetted videographer, coordinates the licence and permit paperwork with you, and manages contracts and payment. BC's credits do not apply to brand work, so there is nothing to build into the budget.
How hiring works
Two ways to hire a videographer in Vancouver
Step 1
Post a job or send a brief
Share the dates, location, deliverables and budget range. Vetted videographers apply, or White Glove shortlists for you.
Step 2
Review vetted talent
Every professional on Spexster is vetted before appearing: a real, working professional whose portfolio, credits and professional presence have been reviewed. No paid placement.
Step 3
Hire, with the admin handled
Contracts run through the platform and payment runs through secure escrow, released when the work is delivered. With White Glove, a dedicated project manager runs the production end to end at no extra fee.
