"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 Toronto

Filming in Toronto

Our Toronto-based video crew serves the entire GTA, from the financial hubs in the Financial District to major events at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Because our team is local, we handle all Toronto Film Office 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 Hamilton and Buffalo.

Producer’s Note:

Serving the booming financial and tech sectors of Bay Street requires our local Canadian crews to use insulated camera rigs to withstand extreme winter temperatures. For massive global summits at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, we deploy advanced multi-channel audio systems to capture crystal-clear sound amidst the bustling, international crowds.

Filming in Toronto

What to know before you shoot in Toronto

Filming permits and public-space rules

Toronto has its own Film Office, which issues permits under Municipal Code Chapter 459. They cover commercial filming, and the city excludes a few categories, including live newscasts, real estate advertisements and internal corporate training videos. That last one may help a company making something purely for staff, but ask, because a clip used for marketing would be a different matter.

Stills are split by location. Commercial stills shoots on streets get their permits from the Film Office, while those in parks go through Parks, Forestry and Recreation.

Toronto's approach is built around neighbours, and notice is a real part of the job. Written notice must reach affected residents, occupants, business owners and business improvement areas at least 48 hours before the earliest arrival, using a template from your Film Permit Coordinator, who reviews it first. Lighting should face away from neighbouring homes, and residential filming between 11 pm and 7 am is restricted.

  • Lead time: at least two full business days for street filming and three for parks, not counting the day you submit. Complex requests and road closures can take longer.
  • Insurance: a certificate for $2,000,000 per occurrence of comprehensive general liability, or higher if required, naming the City as additional insured.
  • Changes: 48 hours' notice to affected residents and two full business days' notice to the Film Office. Adding drone work counts as a change.
  • Parking: black-plated production vehicles can receive permits. Blue-plated personal cars do not, and must pay meters and follow posted rules.

Drone rules

This is Canada, so the FAA rules that US crews know do not apply. Transport Canada regulates drones, and the regulations were updated in 2025. A US pilot cannot simply bring a licence across the border, since foreign operators must get permission first.

The distinction that matters for events is between basic and advanced operations. Flying a small drone within 30 metres of people, or over people, needs a Pilot Certificate for Advanced Operations, which involves an online exam and a flight review, and a drone with the right safety declaration for that operation. Flying in controlled airspace also needs air traffic control permission. Flying without the required declaration can bring fines of up to $1,000 for individuals or $5,000 for corporations.

Advertised events are their own rule. Pilots may not fly at or near events such as outdoor concerts and sporting events without a Special Flight Operations Certificate that specifically allows it, and since April 2025 that includes microdrones under 250 grams. So the small-drone shortcut does not work for a public outdoor launch. Transport Canada's fee schedule for these certificates runs from $20 to $2,000, depending on complexity.

Also keep at least 5.6 km from certified airports and 1.9 km from certified heliports, unless you follow an established Transport Canada procedure. In a downtown setting, check this first, because it may decide the question.

The business event calendar and districts

The Metro Toronto Convention Centre, in two buildings around Front Street and Bremner Boulevard, hosts the shows that matter most for B2B work. PDAC 2027, the mineral exploration and mining convention, runs on 7 to 10 March and is listed as trade only in the North and South Buildings. The Buildings Show runs there on 2 to 4 December 2026.

Toronto Tech Week is a different kind of job. Its 2026 edition ran on 25 to 29 May, with a guide listing more than 500 events in over 30 neighbourhoods, at places such as TIFF Lightbox, the University of Toronto and the History venue. There is no single floor here. Crews move across the city with a short list of named sessions, so check the organiser's calendar for 2027 dates and make that list early.

Practical logistics

The convention centre's building rules include some details a video crew really needs. A version of its Notice to Exhibitors bans exhibitors and audio-visual suppliers from installing or using wireless routers and access points, including cellular personal hotspots. If your plan for uploading or streaming from a booth relied on a hotspot, order a wired or official connection instead.

The same notice says passenger elevators and escalators must not be used to move equipment between levels, including on dollies or by hand carrying boxes. That can add real time to a load-in. It also treats halls and docks as hazardous work areas during move-in and move-out, and it cites Ministry of Labour requirements for protective equipment, so bring what the show asks for. At the North Building West Ramp and South Building truck elevator, there are no docks, and trucks unload directly on the floor.

Ask show management whether your crew needs to be listed as a contractor.

If you are bringing a van, check the height first. The garages have about 1,700 spaces, but clearance is 1.9 metres in the North Building and 2.0 metres in the South, and payment is cashless. Union Station is a short walk, with an indoor SkyWalk route to the South Building.

Confirm all of this with the Film Office, Transport Canada and the show's exhibitor manual before a shoot, since these rules change.

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.

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