Canmore is a beautiful town located in the Rocky Mountains. Its proximity to Banff National Park and Bow Valley makes it one of the best spots for nature focused video production. The Canmore area has actually been used as a filming location for many movies, including Brokeback Mountain, Legends of the Fall, and Shanghai Noon.
The town is known for its art community and is home to many writers, painters, and photographers. And with the proximity of the Rocky mountains and the Banff national park, Canmore became a popular spot for hiking, skiing and other outdoor activities or video production.
The Canmore area was home to the Stoney Nakoda First Nations people for thousands of years before the first settlers arrived. In 1884, Canadian Pacific Railway director Donald A. Smith named the city after Malcolm III of Scotland, who was also nicknamed Canmore, which means “Big Chief” in Gaelic.
Queen Victoria granted the town its coal mining charter in 1886, which brought a lot of people to the area. In time, the tourist industry became more prominent and Canmore is nowadays known for its natural beauty and outdoor activities.
Downtown Canmore is a beautiful place to visit, with its unique architecture and natural surroundings that are the perfect backdrop for videography. The walk along 8th Street with its giant head buried in the sand or historical Northwest Mounted Police Barracks offer great video production opportunities. Downtown Canmore is an authentically charming place that offers a wide variety of photo opportunities and picturesque settings for video production.
As I mentioned above, Canmore is situated in the heart of the Rockies. Its proximity to Banff makes it a popular tourist destination. Let’s find the best sceneries for Canmore video production.
What are some of the best objects to film?
The Three Sister
The Three Sisters mountain peaks are a must-see for visitors due to their striking beauty and potential for stunning Canmore videography. There are a few great spots that you can use to video shoot the sisters, such as from the Canmore bridge over the Bow River or along the bike path connecting downtown Canmore to the Three Sisters Mountain Village.
The Three Sisters are known for their tranquility and natural ambiance, and have become an important feature of Canmore with a rich history of naming and being cherished by the locals.
Mount Rundle
Mt. Rundle offers breathtaking views of Canmore, the Bow Valley, and Ha Ling Peak. What more can a videography enthusiast want? The hike to the peak is filled with opportunities for stunning videography, including views of Spray Valley to the East, Ha Ling Peak, and Mount Lawrence Grassi.
From a false summit, known as the hill Read’s Ridge, you will be able to see Read’s Tower and Mount Sparrowhawk ahead of you. As you gain elevation, the views only get better and the opportunity to take visually stunning video footage of the natural beauty is prime.
One of the best viewpoints is just before you reach Grassi Lakes, and it offers an exceptional vista of the two shallow lakes nestled below Ha Ling Peak and the East End of Rundle. You can take the train further up towards Whiteman’s pond and the Smith Dorrien Highway, providing more views of the lakes and the Bow Valley, and of course more video production opportunities.
