Ways to work with us
production services
Minor Detour is an independent production studio based in Invermere, BC. We can lead a project from the first idea through final delivery or join an existing production where additional support is needed.
​
Whether you have a detailed brief or the beginning of an idea, we’ll help define the right approach, production scope and final assets for the project.
01 / CAMPAIGN & COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION

​
The exact deliverables will be defined in your project scope.
Focused projects may be delivered approximately one week after production. Larger or more story-led projects may require three weeks or longer.
​
Your production schedule, review period and delivery date will be confirmed before the project begins.
Every project is quoted individually. Pricing depends on the production time, locations, crew, equipment, travel, number and type of deliverables, post-production requirements and how the finished work will be used.
​
Tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll recommend an approach and prepare a custom quote for the project.
02 /Â Production & post support

Production and post support can be quoted by the day or by the project, depending on the scope.
​
Send the proposed dates, location, role, expected deliverables and timeline, and we’ll confirm availability and provide a quote.
03 /Â Seasonal Content Partnerships
Build a stronger library of photography and video across the season.
Minor Detour works with organizations that have recurring content needs throughout the year.
​
Together, we can identify upcoming campaigns, operational priorities, seasonal changes and important guest experiences, then plan production around the moments that matter most.
Resorts, tourism organizations, lodges, guiding companies and adventure operators that need photography and video across changing seasons, experiences and campaigns.
​
This model is best suited to teams that need new content more than once but do not want to plan every shoot in isolation.
A seasonal partnership may include:
​
-
Content planning around upcoming priorities
-
Scheduled photography and video capture days
-
Seasonal photo libraries
-
Campaign photography and video
-
Platform-ready social media cuts
-
Event and experience coverage
-
Website and advertising assets
-
Content for partner and tourism channels
-
Editing, colour grading and photo retouching
-
Organized delivery across multiple production periods
​
The exact mix of assets can change throughout the partnership as your priorities change.
Partnerships can be planned around a single season, several priority periods or a longer annual calendar.
​
Production dates may be scheduled around campaign launches, openings, events, weather, seasonal conditions and other important moments. The working rhythm will be established at the beginning of the partnership.
Seasonal partnerships are scoped around the number of production days, locations, required assets, post-production needs, travel and length of the engagement.
​
Tell us about your calendar and recurring content needs, and we’ll recommend a structure that fits your priorities.
04 /Â Original Film Partnerships
Original outdoor stories developed with the right partners.
Minor Detour develops original films rooted in outdoor culture, mountain communities and the people connected to them.
​
We work with aligned brands, organizations and sponsors to fund, produce and share stories that deserve more time and attention.
Brands, organizations and sponsors that want to support an original outdoor story connected to their audience, values or community.
​
Partners may become involved during early development or join a film once the concept, subject and production direction have been established.
An original film partnership may include:
​
-
Story and concept development
-
Partnership and sponsorship planning
-
Full video production
-
Editing and colour grading
-
Photography captured alongside production
-
Trailers and social media cuts
-
Campaign assets connected to the film
-
Premiere, festival and distribution planning
-
Partner recognition and agreed usage rights
​
Every partnership is shaped around the story and the role the partner will play in bringing it to life.
Original films have longer development and production timelines than commercial projects.
​
Timing depends on the story, locations, subjects, seasonal conditions, funding and intended release plan. A project may develop over several months or across multiple seasons.
Original films are funded through custom sponsorship and production partnerships rather than a standard service package.
​
The level of investment and partner involvement will depend on the scale of the film, production requirements, supporting campaign assets and agreed rights.
An initial discovery call gives us a chance to discuss the project, your goals and whether Minor Detour is the right fit.
From there, we’ll clarify what the project needs to achieve and define the deliverables, production requirements, timeline and associated cost.
After approval, a kickoff turns the agreed scope into a clear creative and logistical plan for bringing the project to life.
During production, we'll lead or supports the shoot, adapting the approved plan to the location, people and conditions as the work unfolds.
