About us
Built on accountable production
JS JS Professional Services — Toronto, Ontario, Canada — available nationally and internationally.
Proudly Canadian
We exist for work where the footage matters after the shoot: a deposition that ends up in front of a judge, a claim file that goes to mediation, a live feed that cannot drop, a tournament where the window is one hour and there is no second take.
That means we plan more than most crews and we document everything. Media is logged and backed up on site. Metadata stays intact. Live shows run on redundant encoders and separate connectivity paths.
Our operators come from broadcast, legal video and corporate production, so the same team can stand up a two-camera examination in the morning and a multi-camera streamed conference in the afternoon.
