Tourism Yukon Summer Commercials
Throw back to last Summer up in the Yukon where I worked as the 1st AD/PM on a series of four tourism commercials. As beautiful as the Winter was up there, the Summer was extraordinary with endless natural landscapes and the glorious midnight sun! I remember this being one of the most challenging jobs I've ever worked on but it still remains one of my favourites and another reason why I love my job!

TOURISM YUKON PERCY DE WOLFE COMMERCIAL
I'm proud to share the second of our two Tourism Yukon Winter commercials that I worked on as PM and 1st AD under Brüdder Productions Inc. The real highlight of this one - getting to 1st AD from a sled!!!
Fairmont Vancouver Notch 8 Restaurant Launch
Working with the Fairmont is always amazing but getting the opportunity to Produce a stills and video campaign for their new restaurant launch was a tonne of fun! Notch 8, based in Hotel Vancouver, pays homage to the hotel's history as one of the legendary railway hotels built by the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National Railways and as such has slight design features that mimic this railway history. Shooting in such a cool space with a hint of history and old world charm inspired both the video and stills team to deliver some incredible work!

nTRUST Commercial Spot
I recently worked on this commercial spot for nTRUST under Hangar 18 and Circle Productions as the Producer and 1st Assistant Director. Directed by Robert Turner and shot by Philip Lanyon, the spot was a fantastic piece to kick off Spring in Vancouver with us filming around the city over 3 shoot days. This one had a super short production timeline and it was a huge team effort to pull together casting, locations and production logistics in time!
Tourism Yukon Commercial Shoot
I recently had the pleasure of being the Production Manager + 1st Assistant Director on a commercial shoot for Tourism Yukon under the direction of Outside the Cube (agency) and RJ Sauer at Brüdder Productions (Director/Production company). We shot two commercial spots over four days in the wintery cold temperatures of the Yukon and the beauty of the landscapes definitely outweighed the cold! It was one of the best shoots I've been on and I'm proud to share the first of the two spots released and on-air now - Robert Service 60 second TVC.
Here's a selection of BTS photos:
