It was cake-cutting time again at the Java Post Production office yesterday, as we wished a happy birthday to our talented animators, Kevin and Tomás. Their birth dates are just a few days apart so we decided to kill two birds with one stone...or, in this case, eat two cakes with one fork...by celebrating both of them at the same time. Twice the cake, twice the fun! (Lemon glaze and Black…

We've been testing out a new camera rig around the office, designed to take the weight off the camera operator's arms and shoulders while using our DJI Ronin hand-held camera stabilization gimbal. The rig, which is worn by the camera operator and looks like a back brace with a built-in flag pole, is called an Atlas Camera Support. Using fibreglass rods of differing flex (kind of like the…

For today's "Throwback Thursday" photo, we turn the Way-Back Machine to the late 80s/early 90s...back when Java Post Production was simply called Film Crew - a name that made up in clarity what it might have lacked in creativity.  And here, in glorious black and white (which was actually how the world looked back in those olden days, kids!), you can see the Film Crew...er,…

Java Post Production wishes "everybunny" a very happy Easter!

Yesterday, March 31st, was a sad day at Java Post, as we said farewell to our much-loved friend and colleague, Karen Plumb. Joining the company back in August of 1999 ("When my age started with a two!," she says), Karen started as our receptionist. Her talents soon became apparent to us all, propelling Karen to her current position as the General Manager of Java Post Production. Karen…

This past Friday, Java Post Aerial Photography made another trip out to the K+S Potash Canada Legacy Project site, near Bethune, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Last Friday morning, the Java Post Aerial Photography crew was out in the Harbour Landing development in Regina, recording some aerial shots for our friends at Play Creative, who are incorporating our footage into an upcoming television commercial. The ground-based photography had taken place several days prior to our shoot but, between then and now, Regina was hit with a glorious pre-Spring heat…

The latest member of our aerial photography fleet arrived yesterday: an DJI S900 hexacopter (6 propellers). That brings our drone total up to FIVE, as the SJI S900 joins our existing four units: a little DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter, a new DJI Inspire 1 quadcopter, our workhorse DJI S800 hexacopter, and our big Foxtech FPV K130 octocoper, AKA "the Kraken." Around the Java Post office, it…
