Filene i3 RoadTrip

Recently I posted a fun video clip of footage I shot while I was in Washington DC.

The whole reason I was in DC was for a very unique and creative conference that I was a part of to video document. The Filene Research Institute has a group of Credit Union misfits from all across North America that band together twice a year to combine ideas, cultivate new ones and come up with innovative, useful products for their Credit Unions to use.  

Here's a recap video of our time together.
It's sort of the highlight video of the much longer piece that's to come.

Cheers.

This Is Water

To say so many of my thoughts and assumptions of life and people are summed up in this video, would be an understatement. I am propelled everyday to seek out a different path in life, instead of just eek out an existence. As the video states, 'turning off the default setting' and to live life before death.

Hope this gives you some inspiration today to see things differently and to rise above.

Washington DC: Test Reel

I recently had the chance to attend a conference that started and ended in Washington DC. It was a unique conference that took myself and all the attendees on a bus tour through DC and Virginia, I'll be posting about it more later this week.

While I was digging through the hours of footage from the conference, I wanted to put together an edgy, fun little BRoll reel, while testing out a few new creative assets I picked up. So check it out:

Salmon Arm: Boston Pizza

FilmAds was proud to help the Boston Pizza in Salmon Arm with their latest ad creation. Focusing on their Everyday Favorites menu, we came up with fast paced, fun and delicious looking piece.

I really enjoyed putting this together and was quite happy to have a friends birthday recently, so we had reason to indulge on some wings!

From Source To Tap - City of Chilliwack

This last week has been a whirlwind in my production world and in the city of Chilliwack. City Hall has been fielding a ton of questions, working with the Fraser Health Authority and trying to get out as much information to the public as possible.

Part of that information was an educational piece I had the pleasure of being able to film with the city's public works department.

I was so impressed with the incredible quality of standards that the city's department meets on a day to day basis. I'm thankful to live in this city and to have been able to be a part of this project.

Chilliwack Water

When I first heard about the Fraser Health Authority wanting to chlorinate the water of Chilliwack a few weeks ago, I was not happy. I've known for a long time just how lucky my home city is to have some of the best drinking world in Canada, let alone the world.

Say NO to Chlorination!

The folks behind ChilliwackWater.com, Jake and Kim Reimer, approached me just over a week ago, asking if I'd be interested in volunteering with them to do a video for their website, petition and movement for the public of Chilliwack to speak out. I happily accepted.

I recommend you read the facts about this important issue and to sign the petition here. Don't sit idly by about something that effects your everyday life, and not just drinking water, but showers, laundry etc.
