The owner and leader of Java Post Production and Java Post Aerial Photography - "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe - recently came across an old résumé for his son, Chris. This was back when Chris was shopping around for work as a young male model. And we do mean young. Being a loving and devoted dad (see photo below to prove it), Jack thought Chris might enjoy us using Java Post…

After finishing the final shooting for the upcoming Tourism Saskatchewan advertising campaign, it was time for the Java Post Production crew, the actors, and the gang from Phoenix Group advertising to pack everything up and head back south from Twin Falls Lodge.

And to what does Randy attribute his finely-honed athletic skills?…

Frederick the Great and Napoleon are both credited with saying "An army marches on its stomach." If you ask us, that's a very strange way to attack an enemy. But maybe the enemy never sees you coming because you're flat on your stomach. Genius! Oh those clever military types. We know this for sure: a production crew may not march on its stomach, but it will virtually leap over…

One of the many benefits of working with Phoenix Group on the upcoming Tourism Saskatchewan campaign is being able to experience some amazing locations in our own province. Saskatchewan has a lot of breathtaking scenery. A rising-but-not-quite-yet-shining Dustin Panko from Phoenix Group mans the bow of the boat as our Java Post crew departs from Twin Falls Lodge in the early morning light. …
