Commercial Cinematography
We love to capture details and create an experience that will be cherished over the years ahead. We believe in taking the time to tell a story, pouring our creative touch into every film.
Lennard Taylor // Brand Story
In meeting to discuss this film, we found there were so many similarities between ourselves and Lennard’s story. Our challenge was to tell the Lennard Taylor brand story, creating awareness in a timeless film inspired by everything Lennard shared with us. We noticed a subtle european flavour in his garments which we matched with vintage lenses.

Sheps Hair Clinic // Commercial
Sheps has always had a healthy array of print and interactive ads under the direction of Honest Agency. They are well known for their retro pin-up inspired billboards and bus ads with double entendres. We worked along with Callum and Kerri of Honest Agency to produce a commercial, airing on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada, that would speak one on one with an audience they were after.

Sara Riel Inc // Highlights
We had the pleasure of working with Sara Riel Inc, accompanied by many very talented professionals, to produce this promotional film for their annual Glee Sing Off event held at the Delta Hotel in Winnipeg. The food, the entertainment, the door prizes, and the paparazzi all created an exciting environment for everyone to enjoy. Three amazing a capella singing groups performed throughout the evening, including the Winnipeg Glee Club, Interchord, and Those Guys with a headline performance by Flo. Everything ran seamlessly, including all of the organization happening backstage.

Stillmotion // Behind The Scenes
While attending Stillmotion's fourth Evolution Experience workshop at their brand new studio in Mississauga, Ontario, we were approached by their team and began discussing the idea of filming and putting together a behind the scenes look at their education workshops. We made it out to YYZ to learn, share and be a part of the four day intensive training held by our friends and had the pleasure of working with Patrick, Joyce, and the team to shape this film. Stillmotion teamed up with Canon in 2011 to continue with a three day workshop on light, camera movement, lens choice/color, storyboarding, and post-editing on their Deconstructing The Story tour and this film helped showcase the way they delivered to attendees. It can also be found on Canon's official website here.

TEDx // Highlights
We had the great privilege to film a piece for Manitoba's very first TEDx conference (TEDx events are independently organized TED events). TED talks are an amazing resources of inspiration. We were given all access, which made the shoot a lot of fun (even the Steadicam made it on stage a couple of times). The quality of speakers was top notch and everything seemed to take off without a hitch; it was quite the success.
