Black Belt Productions

the BESTTTT video production team in the world. They were highly professional, creative, and easy-going. We did not have to give them much instruction, they just understood our vision. They did a phenomenal recording and editing our event recap video. We were very impressed with the quality and how they were able to capture the story of our program. We look forward to working with them, again!

We’ve worked with Richard, Nick, and their team at BlackBelt Productions for almost 10 years. The relationship we’ve developed with them is invaluable. BlackBelt produces spot-on, high-quality videos that are able to meet multiple objectives for our Foundation. Nick is able to pull the salient moments out of the footage shot by Richard and his team to help tell our story. Always professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, Children’s Aid Foundation of Canada gives BlackBelt the highest recommendation.

Black Belt has been my workplace's go-to production company and I've had the opportunity to work with them on multiple video production and animation projects over the years. I am consistently blown away by their professionalism, talent, and dedication. They are always accommodating to our timelines and shooting locations. No matter what our vision is, they always deliver an amazing product. I would highly recommend Black Belt Productions. Thanks Richard, Nick, and the team!

Dear Nicholas, Richard, and the Team,We wanted to express our gratitude to you and the whole Blackbelt Productions team for co-composing and making our film workforce project initiatives possible.

The team at Black Belt were super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. They are very considerate and passionate about delivering quality work!

Nick has such a calm and grounding presence about him which made being on film feel very natural and easy. He quietly and confidently set up his equipment in an effective and unobtrusive way and captured footage of my business and home life in a way that I didn’t know was possible. His point of view and editing were completed on time and showcased my story in such a respectful way. I would be my pleasure and honour to work with him again.

When the Laidlaw Foundation partnered with Black Belt Productions to produce a series of videos that profile our wonderful grantees, our team was thrilled by how comfortable and collaborative the process was from conception to implementation. Richard and Nick took the time to meet with us and understand the stories we were trying to share with our stakeholders, providing a project timeline that was clear and manageable. It's always a pleasure to work with Black Belt Productions.

Black Belt Production initiated a production opportunity for youth through the Pathways to Education program in Kitchener. Black Belt ensured the process was led by youth while providing professional coaching and mentoring. Everyone was very excited with the final product especially since the youth were involved in acting, sound, lighting, editing and directing! Thank you Black Belt for being a mentor in our community and providing a real life opportunity for youth!

I've worked with Nick and Richard on a number of projects and am always impressed by their level of professionalism. Their prices are extremely reasonable, communication is prompt & clear, and videos have always been delivered on-time and on-budget. I couldn't recommend their work more highly.They're also fantastic people who've used their business to mentor and provide valuable experience for a young, local filmmakers and video producers.

I've worked closely with the Blackbelt team on a number of video projects over the past couple of years and I am consistently blown away by their work. Richard and Nick are both incredibly skilled at what they do - they know how to bring stories to life in a compelling and heartfelt way, often with little guidance.Talented, friendly, professional, and their rates are very fair for the level of work they produce - I highly recommend them!
