Corporate video in Perth is shaped by two buyers more than any others: the resources sector and the Western Australian government. Much of the work happens a long way from the CBD, on mine sites, plants and project sites across the Pilbara, the Goldfields and the South West. The right partner depends on whether your brief is a safety induction on a live site, a public campaign, or a brand story for customers on the east coast. This guide covers what makes Perth different, how yourfilm produces here, seven options grouped by the work they suit, and a checklist to use before you brief anyone.
Distance is a line item. A filming day in the Pilbara or the Goldfields means flights, accommodation, site inductions and often a standby day for weather or access. Those costs can match the filming itself, so they belong in the quote as separate lines, not buried in a day rate.
Site rules come first. Mine and plant sites run on inductions, PPE, permits, escorted access and fixed windows around operations. A crew that already holds the relevant inductions saves days. Ask about this before you look at a showreel.
The time zone matters for national teams. Perth runs two hours behind Sydney, and three during eastern daylight saving. When the brand team sits in Sydney or Melbourne, approvals and live reviews need planning around a shorter shared working day.
Government and resources set the standard. State agencies bring procurement rules, captioning and accessibility requirements, and long sign-off chains. Resources companies bring safety and compliance review. Both reward a partner who has worked inside those processes before.
In Perth, yourfilm produces corporate and brand films, safety and induction video, training content, project and milestone films, recruitment video, customer stories and event coverage. Filming is done by vetted crew who live and work in WA, from offices in the CBD and West Perth to sites in the regions, with each project managed by a producer on the same platform as our clients in every other city.
The platform matters most when Perth is one part of a national story. A WA mine site, a Brisbane head office and a Melbourne customer can all be filmed to one brand standard, reviewed in one place and stored in one library. Over time, yourfilm AI learns your brand from finished projects and guides each new brief; the planning, filming and editing are done by people. Footage from an expensive regional trip is kept and tagged, so a single fly-in day can feed the annual report, a recruitment campaign and next quarter's project update.
Brands including Savills, CBRE, Opal Healthcare, Jaybro Group, Motion APAC, Jinko Solar, V2 AI and Air New Zealand produce this way, as part of 10,000+ videos across 40+ markets. A single project starts from around $3,000 with the footage kept, and an ongoing programme from around $5,000 a month. Regional travel and site time are quoted as their own lines before work starts. The pricing page explains credits, and the Perth video production page covers what we produce locally.
Perth has a strong local production scene with a long history in resources and public-sector work. The options below start with our own platform so you can compare it on the same terms, then the local and national alternatives, each checked against its own website.
| Option | Based | Fits best | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| yourfilm | National platform, vetted Perth crew | Corporate, safety, training and project video on one platform, with footage retained | You produce video regularly, or across WA and the east coast, to one standard |
| Meyer Productions | Perth | Mining safety, training and induction video | Your priority is compliant training content for a large WA workforce |
| Inception Video | Osborne Park | Corporate, event, mining and training video | You want an experienced owner-operator with fixed written quotes |
| Studio Orange | Northbridge | Film and animation made in-house, including ongoing content | One brief needs both live action and animation from one local team |
| Sandbox Productions | Leederville | TV commercials, corporate video and post-production | The work is a public campaign or a broadcast-grade brand piece |
| Vidico | Melbourne HQ, works in Perth | Explainers and animated launch films for tech | You have one SaaS or product launch to land |
| WeMOV | South Melbourne HQ, crews in Perth | Straightforward corporate, animated and commercial video in volume | You need the same simple format repeated across several cities |
For resources, safety and training. Meyer Productions has spent three decades on safety, training, induction and corporate work, with dedicated mining sectors on its own site. Inception Video brings more than twenty years of WA corporate, event, mining and training production and publishes a fixed-quote approach.
For government, community and campaigns. Sandbox Productions produces TV commercials and corporate video, with work for clients such as Tourism WA, the City of Perth and Fortescue shown on its site. Studio Orange makes film and animation in-house in Northbridge and offers ongoing monthly content, which suits communications teams with a steady calendar.
National models working in Perth. Vidico is headquartered in Melbourne and runs a Perth offer focused on explainers and animated launch content for tech brands. See yourfilm vs Vidico. WeMOV runs crews in Perth as well as Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane for repeatable, straightforward production.

Cost follows crew days, locations, deliverables and creative development, and regional site work adds flights, accommodation, inductions and standby time. On yourfilm, a single project starts from around $3,000 with the footage kept and a programme from around $5,000 a month, with travel quoted as separate lines.
Yes. Site filming is planned with the site team: inductions, PPE, access windows and safety rules are built into the schedule so operations are not disrupted. Remote work is scheduled to get the most footage from each trip.
Yes. Perth productions use vetted local crew who know the city and WA site conditions, with each project managed by a producer on the same platform as every other market.
Yes. Briefs, brand settings and footage sit on one platform, so a WA site film and a Sydney or Melbourne head office video are produced to the same standard and stored in the same library.
A simple interview-led video with a clear brief can be finished within a few weeks. Regional travel, site access windows and compliance review usually set the pace, so build those into the plan from the start.
