Toronto has a TON of videographers some who stand out more than others within their vision and visuals. This list is in NO particular order and NOT a ranking system, This is a list of videographers who have stood out more than others.
ShotByHUSS ( JBM Media ) http://www.instagram.com/shotbyhuss
Huss has been making a HUGE wave in the city, from getting interviews on some of Toronto’s hottest podcasts such as; WeLoveHipHop, His own mini-documentary and more. Huss has been in the scene for a short time but he’s taken the city by storm chances are, if you’ve watched a hip-hop video from the city in the past year you’ve watched a Huss visual, Huss has shot a few of my favourite videos this year like JUNKIES by Cuzzo
2Tab.Visuals http://www.instagram.com/2tab.visuals
2Tab is one of the greats out of the city.. Originally hailing from Montreal Tab came and just took over everyone’s spot in the city.. Shooting some of the CRAZIEST visuals from; LocoCity, Blacka Da Don, Geezy Loc, Burna Bandz, Smiley & more.. If you’re in the market for a well-executed visual 2Tab is your main choice.
Tk is one of those videographers who everyone knows about in the city, He’s been in the game for many years now and his progression just keeps growing.. He took a small Hiatus but he’s back and he’s coming for the throne. You might see Tk on various projects from Editing or just helping out on set with other videographers. He’s been filming some MOVIES independently when it comes to his own projects tho and they’re definitely well executed.
Omji – instagram.com/omjifilms
OmjiFilms has a background in COD ( Call Of Duty ) editing and when he took the leap in to Music Video’s I don’t think anyone expected him to come up as quick as he did, From shooting most of Smiley’s music videos to taking over the city by storm and collaborating with some of Toronto’s most known videographers like K.R, BrownGuy & 2Tab he’s got his eye on the prize and knows how to bring your vision to life.
DirectorMO – Instagram.com/DirectorMo
DirectorMO is fairly new on the scene, we’ve only heard about him over the past couple months the first time we heard this young directors name was aprox 8 months ago when he released a video with “Young Smoke – Days By Da Rabba” whom is Smoke Dawgs brother. MO is one to watch and one we’re all eager to see come up on a massive scale.
Orazioo – Instagram.com/Oraziooo
Orazio’s name speaks for itself – We really don’t have to say much.. When it comes to editing he’s top tier, His visual effect work is beyond amazing and leading him to be one of the top directors/editors to come out of Toronto. Once you press play on a music video he’s touched you automatically know it’s his work because no one else can execute edits quite like him.
ProLeagueFilms – Instagram.com/proleaguefilms
Proleaguefilms aka RodZilla has had the city in the palm of his hands from before we even got in the game, he was one of the first directors we knew about out of the city from shooting with KiddBu before he was Kiddbu, Blacka Da Don, Almost every artist in the city Rod’s visuals have ALWAYS been top tier storytelling, cinematic and always leaving you wanting to re-watch the visual again.
BrownGuyMadeIT – Instagram.com/BrownGuyMadeIT
BrownGuyMadeIT has been grinding for the past 4 years, trying to make a name for himself, from shooting with Major artist’s as they come to the city for their concert/vlogs to working with Local artists such as; Blacka Da Don, Cheffie, CashPapi, Drew James, JRDN, Ramone ( Get It video premiering on BET ) & many more – BrownGuy’s been levelling up slowly but his visuals are always eye-catching… BrownGuy also has one of the most iconic drops at the beginning of every visual he shoots … BrownGuy can take your visuals to the next level and his professionalism is beyond normal.
Marcus Letts – Instagram.com/Marcusletts
Marcus Letts ( The purple face guy ! ) Is one of the fastest-growing directors/editors on this list – We started to hear about Marcus when Charlton Visuals & Marcus started collaborating on visuals for Yung Tory, Marcus has a very unique editing style that we’re seeing a lot of other editors in the city try to mimic.. Marcus is smart when it comes to whom he works with and how he markets himself.. Marcus will ONLY work with artist’s he personally likes and will listen to himself. If you’re looking for an OUT OF THE BOX – One of a kind music video Marcus is who you need to link.. ( He also does edit only if you have someone else shoot your visual )
ShotByGolf – Instagram.com/ShotByGolf
Golf Is the newest videographer that we’ve picked up on, He’s a very creative young director and we feel like his progression this year alone makes him deserve a spot on this list of videographers you should be shooting with in the city. Golf has been grinding to make a name for himself, you’ll find him on Instagram lives editing and puffin his Juul dropping dimes and showing you his process ( Something a lot of videographers keep hidden )
Honourable Mentions
Knemisis – instagram.com/TheKnemesis
Knemisis is one of the HARDEST working directors in Toronto hands down, I don’t think there is a day that goes by that he isn’t shooting 2-3 videos a day. He’s in our Honourable mentions because he’s an OG in this business and honestly one of the best.
Kieran Khan Productions – Instagram.com/kierankhanproduction
Kieran is one of the humblest directors on this list period, from working with Sean Paul, Tv Gucci & currently being on tour with Cardi B. Kieran is always willing to give advice when he can to everyone he surrounds himself with in this industry – He’s working hard towards becoming one of the greatest’s in the city and it’s not going to be hard. Be sure to check out his work by visiting his Instagram.
