Story-first content. No bloated teams.

Just one guy near Edmonton (Drayton Valley) helping businesses and brands share cinematic, purpose-driven video across Alberta & beyond. I’m David Mathew Bonner, a one-man video and photo production outfit based near Drayton Valley and serving Edmonton, Alberta, and across Canada. With over 25 years of experience behind the camera, I create purpose-driven, creative content without bloated crews or

gimmicks. Just sharp visuals, honest storytelling, and results that speak for themselves. I work with small businesses, large companies, churches, and individuals who care about getting the message right and doing it with integrity.

I used AI to make an AI video…
to show how pointless AI is.

…or is it?

The tools aren’t the problem.
The lack of imagination is.

📽️ Behind the Scenes of My AI Videos – It’s Not Magic, It’s Work (and Fun)

People think you just toss some commands into AI and p**f — instant genius.

But here’s the truth: every one of these prehistoric “Burger Barbarian” scenes takes hours of detailed prompting, tweaking, editing, and imagining. I write long, cinematic instructions to get the layout, lighting, and mood right — and then go frame-by-frame fixing weird AI glitches: warped limbs, nonsense textures, and weird spellings.
(Seriously — "BARBIAY"? Come on...)

I don’t just feed it a photo — I rebuild the world.
Like turning a swing set into stone.
Or converting hundreds of shop decals into ancient cave carvings.
Or scripting lines like: “We’re just waiting for fire.”

And then, I do what I can to fix or cover the mistakes. But truthfully, I reach a point where it’s “close enough.”
After all — a piece of art is never finished... it’s only abandoned.

I’ve been making videos for 25 years. DSLR shoots, real clients, tight deadlines — it’s still what I do. But this AI stuff? It’s like giving gasoline to a campfire of imagination.
It’s not perfect — but for fast, stylized storytelling on a budget? It’s a beast.

Honestly, I make these to entertain myself.
If you get a kick out of them too — that’s just icing on the rock.

It’s not easy casting AI monkeys… I actually liked the look of these guys — as far as monkeys go — but I wanted to stay true to the logo look for The Monkey Boys of Drayton Valley, so I changed direction early on. Monkey Boyz Oilfield Services

Different monkeys, same chaos.
