How this estimate works
Every video budget is built from the same levers: pre-production, shoot days and crew size, gear, locations and travel, talent, post-production, and usage rights. The calculator uses the ranges we see on real quotes across Toronto, Muskoka, Vancouver, Squamish and Tofino. BC runs about 15 percent higher because the film industry keeps crew and gear in constant demand.

One-off shoot or monthly retainer?
A one-off shoot fits a single moment: a launch, a new property, a brand film you will use for years. If you need to show up on social every week, a retainer wins. You keep the same team, skip the restart costs, and your cost per piece of content drops. Coastline Films retainers start from $1,500 per month CAD.
