Journeyman is a full service professional video production company based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We help clients across Canada, the USA and EU deliver corporate videos, promo videos, explainer animation videos, documentary videos, commercials and Facebook and YouTube video ads. We help communications and PR teams with concept development, strategy, scripting, filming and post production delivery. We specialize in turning talking-point messages into more relatable human content, through better video storytelling.
Video is a big investment. Clients who take time to select the right video production partner have been collaborating with us since 2008. We help communications teams that work in resource development, health care and medical life sciences research, energy transition, renewables and energy efficiency, First Nations and community engagement, as well as plenty of work for the Canadian Federal Government and the Nova Scotia Government.
We often see organizations tell the wrong story in their video content. We can help you make your video storytelling more interesting and engaging using the power of Hollywood story structure along with a Documentary style. Real people are interesting and deserve the craft and thoughtfulness we can offer to help your message shine. There is no such thing as a boring subject, just mediocre storytelling.
Though we’re based in Nova Scotia, we create videos for both local and global scale clients. We've filmed across Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia and in remote First Nations communities up north, as well as in Singapore, Oman, The Gambia, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, UK, New Orleans, and Houston USA. At our office in Halifax, we tackle creative strategy, planning, writing and research, editing & delivery. We work with local crews all over the world, or travel with our own team to film on location.
Founded by Mathew Welsh, documentary filmmaker whose work has been recognized/awarded at the Geminis, Hot Docs and other festivals

Our Story
The Journeyman story started in the documentary film world. We decided that organizations need more filmmaker and writer help, to transform the most simple subject into a story. Lots of video companies talk about "storytelling" and in fact, the word is overused. But we really like looking for the story structure that will make an audience care and relate to any subject. We're based in a cool, smaller city on Canada's east coast, and are pretty open minded about all subjects.

I love using the power of filmmaking to accomplish important, practical things. A bit of a utilitarian that way. I'm not interested in film for its own sake, but how it can shift points of view. I like to be the devil's advocate on big topics!
