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! 

Agency:  Outside the Cube, Production Company:  Brüdder Productions + Pixelbox, Director:  RJ Sauer, Producers:  RJ Sauer + Jayden Soroka, 1st AD/PM:  Amy Jones, DOP:  Byron Kopman, Drone:  Carlo Wein + Patrick Henry (Alterna Films)

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! 

Now with nTrust, you can send or receive money, instantly, effortlessly, and for free within Canada.

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:

The Wood Innovation and Design Centre Story

Role: Producer & Director Production Company: Brüdder Productions Client: Forestry Innovation Investment

For the past year I've been working on a project for the Forestry Innovation Investment group under Brüdder Productions Inc. as the Producer/Director.  It was an exciting project to get to see every stage of a new and innovative building project coming together - we filmed forestry, design, manufacturing, testing, construction and then the finished building when it was completed.  The project spanned over a year and gave us the opportunity to interview and film a number of amazing professionals in a variety of different fields across BC.  The future of BC wood products is an exciting one - enjoy!

Some past project favourites

I wanted to share some of my favourite projects from the past couple of years.  They all had their own challenges at the time but turned out to be projects that I'm incredibly proud of and look back on with fond memories!  I produced these three projects under the leadership of Director/Producer RJ Sauer of Brüdder Productions.  

The BC Rugby video was shot over 2 nights on Brockton Oval in Stanley Park and one day in a studio using a variety of real players across the mens, womens and kids leagues.  Our night shoot included some rain and fog effects on top of a highly stylized lighting plan to simulate a real stadium look.

The UVIC Vikes shoot saw us filming 8 sports over 4 nights.  It was a hugely challenging shoot fitting two sports into each night with a small crew of 5 and the most challenging was shooting the rowing from 1am-6am with the women's team.  We had three follow boats - one with the camera and two with lights - trying to match speed with the women rowing across a lake in the pitch black and rain!  

The Tourism Squamish Backcountry Skiing video is one of twelve vignettes that we shot for them over a couple of years.  As with any winter skiing shooting you need the perfect weather and this day that we shot was well worth the waiting and re-scheduling! 

Brüdder created a commercial video aimed at celebrating the BC Rugby community and empowering the next generation of rugby athletes to continue with the sport. The video concept highlights the varying levels of age, skill and gender within the sport of rugby all working together to carry the ball for a try. Production Company | Creative: Brüdder Director: RJ Sauer Producer: Amy Jones | RJ Sauer DOP: Vince Arvidson Composer: Kenton Gilchrest Post Production: Jon Hunwick
Brüdder produced a recruitment video for the University of Victoria Athletics department, attracting athletes to join the Vikes program. The video was produced over 5 nights using the RED One and a combination of active Vikes athletes and alumni.
