Breath Control & Skimboarding in April

On April 9, 2010, by d_griffiths

Our last two productions for this term took place this week – it would have been nice to have a bit more warm weather in the forecast (considering both productions had exterior components), however rain or shine, we got it done!

First off on Tuesday was a spot for helping asthma sufferers using the “Buteyko Breathing Method“, where a couple spending a nice warm summer day in the park deals with an asthma attack using a special breathing technique.

On Thursday we made our way to Tsawwassen and onto the Boundary Bay beach to shoot a commercial for Kayotics Skimboards.  Our actor made a fairly quick transition from his day-to-day work in a cubicle to a more exciting work locale.

Also this week was a commercial spot for ZipCar, a short-term car rental service available in the metro-Vancouver area.  In this case, it’s particularly useful for short shopping trips, especially when your hands are full!

Underwear and chocolate

On March 6, 2010, by d_griffiths

More commercials this week.  We’re back from our Olympic break and back to work!

First up this week was a commercial for Fruit of the Loom underwear.  Thanks to the kind folks at Knowledge: for allowing us to use their studio for the white cyc background.

Next up was a commercial for Purdy’s chocolates – allowing a young businesswoman who has a less than successful presentation, but melts the hearts of the board members with a box of tasty chocolates!

Coming up soon – our first commercial productions using our new P2-HD HPX-300 cameras.  We are happy to be teaching tapeless workflows!  When combined with our Facilis and Omneon servers, it’s a potent combination.

First up was SoftMoc shoe cleaner.  Shot in-studio and on location, showing the product and giving an example of the real-world messes it might have to clean up!

Mmmm… Spaghetti!

On January 22, 2010, by d_griffiths

Thursday’s shoot was on-location in New Westminster with a commercial for the “Old Spaghetti Factory”.

Some of our second-year students showed up with a bit of HD production gear to shoot behind the scenes video for use in a promotional video which should be showing up in a few weeks.
