Who do we serve?

We help Charities, NGO's & CIC's create perception shifting documentaries that glorify human wellbeing and bring in funding where it matters. Unlike one-size-fits-all production studios, our films are a strategic asset; telling heartfelt stories that help donors understand your impact. Whether you're applying for grants, reporting to funders, or building emotional trust with donors. We help you secure the income you need to grow your social impact.

About us

We are a team of creatives, storytellers, and marketers whose mission is to connect with others and build up the brands we love with impactful video.

We take traditional marketing ads and flip them on their head. We also hate those jarring pop-up ads that you didn't ask for. It doesn't have to be that way. We prioritize visual excellence and stay true to your company's image by taking the time to explore your company and express what you truly stand for. We make good-looking videos, but a video needs to be seen in order for it to be effective. Our no mess marketing approach dives deep into understanding the way your company operates, and how you can optimize your online presence and reach your customers.

Head of operations

Owen Meldrum

To me there’s nothing better than a new place, new people and new experiences. My passion lies in connecting with people. My strengths lie in understanding fundamental challenges business may be facing, how to overcome them and how to fix them. I love running and I am currently training for a marathon! The outdoors is where all my best ideas come to me. I consider myself beyond lucky to have the opportunity to create and share stories and messages for people and their businesses. The process of first meeting someone with a story to tell, seeing their vision come to life as the final product and the results that follow is what drives me.

Here's what our clients say

Great service. Speedy. Good eye for images, and developed a perfect concept for our business. Fabulous drone work too. Thanks.

Beltie Brooks

“I commissioned Canivid to film a few interviews for the 2020 Leeds Digital Festival. The output (differing lengths of videos) was great, really hitting the brief. The team turned up on time, were professional throughout and the high quality end product was delivered as per the spec.”

Leeds Digital Festival

“These guys are fantastic at what they do. Professional, supportive, creative and they deliver on schedule. I’m really pleased with our final product, I would highly recommend them.”

Range High School

“Since I published Canivid’s video in September on our booking site, more than 20 new weeks of bookings have been taken up over the autumn and winter. These are traditionally periods where we historically saw only 2 or 3 weeks booked. The promotional video has repaid my modest investment many times over. It is a great way to communicate with our customers. What Canivid’s video does is to capture the essence of the village environment and our holiday house offers in a quick, clear and easy format, for a very cost effective price.”

Mossdale Holiday Cottage Owner

“I loved working with Canivid! They knew how to capture the essence and nature of our work and have helped us attract more students.”
