With over a decade of experience providing education video production services, we can help your team think outside the box and craft the stories that cut through noise and showcase the work you want noticed, shared, and viewed.


Universities, school boards, NGOs and local community partners around Ontario have turned to Double Barrel time and time again to help them communicate the important work they do.

Over the past six years, we’ve produced recruitment campaign videos, educational series, curriculum launch pieces, awareness and explainer videos for a wide range of clients operating in the education space. Explore our vast portfolio of work in the education space below.

Expanding Your Vision

An RFP. An internal request. An experiment. Often when our education clients connect with us, they start with ideas that need to be translated into video and animation. Our process is tailored for exactly that: converting solid ideas into moving stories that expand your vision.


Every Style, Type & Budget

When we start out on a new project, we often recommend clients not be dead-set on a particular style or type of video. Through discovery & creative develop, we work with our clients to refine what’s possible, maximizing the creative impact within time and budget allowances.


Compelling Narrative

Whether you’re looking for a pre-roll spot, a social media rollout, or a tried-and-true TV spot, we’ll help you craft a compelling narrative around your work and express it on the mediums that matter.

Here’s a few projects that stand out.

The Benefits of Hiring a Professional Educational Video Production Company

We know how to hold attention.

Students and learners have endless ways to tune out. A video only works if it earns its watch time.

We’ve spent over a decade making work that keeps people engaged, so your message actually lands instead of playing to a half-watching room.

We speak to every audience at once.

Education video rarely has one viewer. There are students, parents, faculty, administration, and the prospective families you’re trying to win over.

We help you figure out who each piece is really for, so a recruitment film, a course intro, and a donor appeal each do their own job well.

We build it to be accessible.

Learning content has to reach everyone, including viewers who rely on captions, clear narration, and good contrast.

Accessibility is part of how we produce, not a box we tick at the end, so your videos work for the whole audience they’re meant to serve.

We design for learning, not just viewing.

A great education video has a goal beyond views: comprehension, retention, a change in behaviour. We start from what you need people to learn or do, and build the story to get them there.

Brands • Organizations • Communities • Governments

You’re in good company.

Whether they’re private businesses, non-profits, charities, or large public corporations, Double Barrel has worked to showcase who they are and reveal the people and the dedication behind what they do.

“We were very pleased with the video Double Barrel produced. It has been an excellent tool for us and for our industrial partner to showcase our collaboration and demonstrate how we use leading-edge technology to add real value to the Canadian manufacturing sector. The process was efficient, and their creativity gave us a terrific outcome.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Some answers to our most-commonly asked education video production questions.

How long does educational video production take?

Again, it depends. The typical timeline for education video production is 9-12 weeks. Still, it could take longer depending on the number of locations or interviews required or the kind of approvals needed.

What type of educational video clients do you typically work with?

In the past, we’ve created videos for:

  • Higher-education institutions
  • Healthcare education and organizations
  • International organizations and foundations
  • Local community organizations (e.g., BIAs, chambers of commerce)

… and many more! We provide video production services to educational organizations of all sizes. If you have an important message to share but haven’t figured out how to tell it, we can help you.

How much does educational video production cost?

Short answer: it depends! Depending on the style, length, and complexity, our video productions can range in cost from $5,000 to $50,000 (and beyond!). However, we always work closely with our clients to help them maximize their budget and return on investment.

How do I know if you’re the right company for me?

You can always check out our portfolio to see our past work.
