It’s been almost thirty years. January of 1978 to be exact. Bravo Zulu Productions was incorporated for the inspired purpose of creating the most imaginative and effective marketing and information video programs possible.

“Neuron-zapping.” Compelling. That’s what we said they had to be.

And that’s what they’ve been, for exceptional companies like Mustang Survival, Canadian Pacific and Vancouver Wharves. First class institutions like The University of British Columbia and the Canadian Forces. Major government departments like Transport Canada and Parks Canada. We’ve also produced programs for smaller firms like Multiplex Technologies, SEI Industries and Werkmaster. Even for other production companies.

Decades of experience – hundreds of programs.

Broad. Sweeping. Intimate. Exhilarating. Enchanting. Alluring. Winning programs.

What does confidence and accomplishment look like? How about innovation and commitment?

We know. And you can see it in our show reel.

Video programs that made a difference. Made us different. Decades of experience have taught us how to produce video most effectively and efficiently for our clients.

* Your program is crafted by a single filmmaking expert supported by production specialists with decades of experience. From start to finish. It’s like creating a piece of art. Business art. You deal with one accountable person throughout the process.

* We don’t have a large staff. Our low overhead ensures more of your budget dollar ends up on the screen – where it belongs.

* Your video is created with state-of-the-image equipment (costing millions only a decade ago).

* We are service-oriented. Our owner-filmmakers have a vested, long-term interest in your complete satisfaction.

*  We choose our clients carefully.  That’s because a lot of time has or will be invested becoming subject-matter experts ourselves in your field.

Our approach has served us well. In our near-thirty years of neuron-zapping production, we’ve never missed a deadline. Never gone over budget. Never had a disappointed client. And expect we never will.
