"We absolutely will be using you guys as our videography service going forward!! Thank you so much for all your help so far 🙏 Fantastic service."

We worked with Hubscale to record multiple podcast episodes on two different days. Our crew member Andrew attended to capture the interviews in full whilst also supporting our host to ensure a seamless experience for the guests. The result? An "awesome" client experience...

Where We Film in Calgary

Filming in Calgary

Our Calgary-based video crew serves the entire Alberta region, from the energy business hubs in Downtown and the Beltline to major events at the Calgary Telus Convention Centre. Because our team is local, we handle all Calgary Economic Development film permits and logistics for you, saving you the cost of flying in a crew. We also provide seamless coverage for multi-city projects, with teams ready in Edmonton and Vancouver.

Venues We Film At in Calgary

We film at Calgary's modern event venues, from cutting-edge conference centers to scenic mountain backdrop locations. Our Calgary crews specialize in tech conferences, corporate events, and industry gatherings.

Producer’s Note:

Serving the heart of Alberta’s energy sector requires our crews to bring specialized cold-weather camera rigging and heavy ND filters for the intense, high-altitude sun. Whether shooting executive interviews downtown or covering massive expos at the BMO Centre, we deploy robust audio systems to isolate your message from the bustling crowds.

What to know before you shoot in Calgary

City of Calgary permits

The city's Film Friendly team handles permits for City of Calgary property, and its page refers specifically to motion pictures, TV programmes, commercials, music videos and web series. Television stations preparing news or current affairs are excluded. The page does not say how corporate event films are treated, so email film@calgary.ca with your plan. For filming on private property, or scouting, it points you to Calgary Economic Development.

Calgary publishes its minimum notice periods by service, which makes it easy to plan backwards from a show date:

  • Streets, sidewalks and restricted parking: 5 to 10 business days.
  • Parks and athletic fields: 5 business days.
  • Noise exemption: 5 business days.
  • City-owned facilities: 10 business days.
  • Drones: 10 business days.
  • Transit: 14 business days.
  • Fire, police, stunts, prop weapons or explosions: 3 weeks.

Drones

Calgary has one of the more detailed drone pages of any city in this guide. A City permit is needed to launch or land from City property, including flying over any City park or greenspace. Drones are banned from control areas including the airport, all splash parks and all cemeteries. Fees depend on the drone's weight and launch site, and the team provides quotes.

The wildlife conditions are the unusual part. Flights within 30 metres of natural areas or trees need a qualified biologist to do a wildlife sweep and stay on site, and wildlife is treated as especially sensitive from 15 March to 31 August, though dates may vary. You must also launch from a maintained surface such as mowed grass, gravel or pavement.

On the federal side, the city summarises Transport Canada's requirements. Drones from 250 grams to 25 kg need registration and a Basic or Advanced pilot certificate, with NAV Canada authorisation in controlled airspace. A Special Flight Operations Certificate is needed for advertised events, including microdrones, and for foreign pilots or operators. That second point matters if a visiting team plans to bring its own pilot.

Venues and recurring shows

The BMO Centre at Stampede Park is the main venue. Its expansion, opened on 5 June 2024, added 565,000 square feet and took the complex past one million, and the city calls it Western Canada's largest convention centre. It has more than 100,000 square feet of new exhibition space, 38 meeting rooms and two ballrooms.

The Global Energy Show Canada is the clearest recurring B2B event, listed for 8-10 June 2027. ASME Turbo Expo is listed there for 21-25 June 2027. The Calgary Stampede follows on 9-18 July 2027 on the same grounds, so check access if your event sits close to it.

Powered by Fame OS

Three tools your last videographer didn't have.

Most crews hand over a drive and a link. Every Fame Crew shoot runs on our own software, so you can see what is happening before the shoot, find any clip after it, and approve edits without a single email thread.

  1. 01

    Footage Log

    Every clip from the shoot, organised and labelled, with the whole log searchable - and every clip transcribed, so you can find the moment someone said the thing by typing what they said. No scrubbing through hours of rushes.

    Open a sample footage log →
  2. 02

    Shoot Status

    One page per shoot showing exactly where things stand: crew confirmed, brief signed off, kit list, call time, payment status. You never have to email to ask what is happening.

    See a live example →
  3. 03

    Asset Review Tool

    Review every edit in the browser and leave comments pinned to the exact second. No download, no version confusion, no thread of timecodes pasted into email.

    Try the review tool →

All three come with every shoot. There is nothing to set up and nothing extra to pay.
