We are a Video Production and Design Agency with a focus on storytelling. Ours is an industry of ideas, creativity, and storytelling.

Since 2004, we have been helping clients reach larger audiences by building strong narratives around their businesses or projects.
We had the pleasure of working with Pallan & Associates CPA, an accounting firm based in Victoria, B.C., to create a fresh and professional logo and business card design. Our goal was to capture the essence of their expertise and dedication to client success, while giving them a visual identity that stands out in the industry.
Meet our Creative Director, Graem Millala! A man with a passion for working with product-focused companies to build a compelling story, launch products, and drive awareness. He loves to get to know businesses and their unique qualities, and then distill their story into something that resonates with their audience.
Graem is an avid photographer and is happiest when he's behind a lens.
Outside of his creative hobbies, Graem is a family man who loves to spend his free time with his two sons, and cooking for and with his friends and family.
While friends and coworkers may describe him as "a great fertilizer one day," we deeply value his dedication and expertise while he's around. 😉
We are thrilled to welcome aboard our client, Beta Health.

Some recent photography work for our clients at Aboriginal Coalition to End Homelessness. We feel most fulfilled when we get to capture and celebrate culture. Thank you for inviting us to such a special day.
We have recently been privileged to work on the Allward Memorial Project with Perth County, drawing attention to Canadian sculptor Walter Allward and the four unique memorials he crafted in the wake of the Great War. Building this campaign was a fascinating and humbling experience for our team as we reflected on Allward's masterful skill and the profound horror of war. More than 61,000 Canadian lives were lost in the First World War. Many soldiers died overseas, their bodies never repatriated. These are the fallen heroes that Allward sought to honour in his work.
This Remembrance Day, we invite you to watch the videos produced by the Allward Memorial Project to learn, respect, and understand the sacrifice that was paid for our freedom. Lest we forget.

Fall greetings from the Media One gang! Our Halloween was filled with gin, pizza, and rowdy card games... who could ask for anything more? 🎃
In 2013 we started working with Carey Newman on the Witness Blanket project. At the time, like many Canadians, we knew nothing about Residential Schools, the systemic nature by which they were deployed, or their connection to the intergenerational trauma suffered by Indigenous peoples across Canada. Carey was in need of a website to provide information on an art project he was undertaking in support of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). We learned he intended to travel Canada to collect pieces and memories of residential schools and combine them into a 'blanket' of sorts. Along the way he would be visiting and speaking with residential school Survivors - and we decided that although we had no budget to do so, we should join with our cameras and capture their stories. That decision would change us as a company - and individuals - forever.
Five years, dozens of interviews with Survivors and tours of residential schools later, we completed our first feature film: 'Picking up the Pieces: The Making of the Witness Blanket'. It would premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival in 2018, and in partnership with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, be made available for public view. This October it will be screened at the Frankfurt Film Institute, as part of the Frankfurt Bookfair.
Today, in recognition of the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada, we invite you to join us in bearing witness to this journey and work of art that Carey and his team brought to life, inspired and held up by residential school Survivors. This film was a passion project that gave to us as much as we gave to it. We are proud to dedicate the work we continue to do with Indigenous people and communities to the TRUTH, in the hopes that one day, generations into the future, the world can look back at Canada and recall an era of reconciliation. https://loom.ly/YmerY6k
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is located on ancestral lands, on Treaty 1 Territory. The Red River Valley is also the birthplace of the Métis. We acknowledge the water in the Museum is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.
We're looking for some new talent to join our team!

In 2009, Media One's (now) Executive Producer, Cody Graham, followed the EF Education First - Drapac p/b Cannondale pro cycling team in Italy for the early Spring racing calendar. These races included Milan-San Remo, Tirreno-Adriatico and the now infamous, Strade Bianche - then known as Montepaschi Eroica. As one of his favourite race days on the calendar, Ryder Hesjedal was an annual animator in the early editions of these races - nearly winning in 2008 with a late attack (eventually overtaken by the legend #fabiancancellara #spartacus) and working hard in the finale of this edition, finishing 10th in 2009. Hard to believe this was nearly a decade ago. Media One has been privileged to travel the world, and continue to share stories along the way of this amazing and challenging sport, including Ryder's race in our hometown - Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria

Production on this short video for Acheson Sweeney Foley Sahota was a fun challenge. Thanks to the stunt work by Danna St.Lawrence we feel it turned out great! Also, the fruit tossing skills of Adrien Sala really tied it all together :) Look for it on the big screens at Victoria Silver City. Also, Braedan Houtman played the role of stock boy perfectly...
In the wake of news that Homefulness at Woodwynn Farms may be sold following a long battle with local residents, funders and the Agricultural Land Commission, we thought it would be a good idea to share a video we produced that showcased some of the work being done there. Whatever your thoughts are on the place, it's important to acknowledge that there is good work being done that has been having a legitimate impact on some of the most significant social issues in our area.

Earlier this year we helped Esquimalt Fire Department create a video that gave some insight to who they are as an organization. We love working on this kind of local project and sharing the stories of people doing great work in our region. . . . . #wetellstories #mediaone #esquimaltfiredept #realheroes #communitysupport
Our Content Director, Adrien Sala, took in a movie last night and caught this 15-second ad we produced as part of a series for Acheson Sweeney Foley Sahota that aired before it started. His comment this morning? "Guys – we're sharing the screen with Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford!" Not quite buddy, but we're getting there ;) . . . . #mediaone #wetellstories #prerollads #linesonthebigscreen #yyj

As the competition at Torrey Pines ramps up, we're revisiting our time on the course earlier this year for a 360-degree video project. We got to walk the greens and get up close and personal. This video for the Farmer Insurance Open is almost but not quite as good as being there ;) Torrey Pines - South Course, Hole #3 Narration by PGA Tour Pro Rickie Fowler
For over 65 years, Island Savings has been helping island communities build their businesses. It was great to collaborate on this project with Lisa Cottrell and the Island Savings team – and to meet some of the amazing people doing great work on the Island. Special thanks to Pizzeria Prima Strada and Saltspring Island Cheeseworks for taking time during business hours to let our crew in, as well as to Odai and Tim Mawdsley for their great work. Of course, we couldn't have done it without Adam Blakesley and Amber Wilkin and their family fire pit. Super fun project. #mediaone #wetellstories
What makes a great story? Great stories are about people and their passions – how one person’s idea can affect change and have an impact. At Media One, we tell stories.

Thanks for working with us. Media One: We Tell Stories. Let Us Tell Yours. #mediaone #wetellstories

Graem Millala brought a PSVR into the M1 office today and we've all had little trips into the virtual world. The potential for this tech is unbelievable and we are excited to start telling stories with it. Katey Leedham took a trip into the world of Mr. Robot (keeping one hand on the table for stability we noticed). It's super trippy and real and you honestly feel like you're in a different world...
