Back in the 1880s when settlers first arrived in this area located approximately 30km northwest of Regina, they called it Happy Hollow. Now it's known as the Lumsden Valley. (That interweb thingy sure knows a lot of stuff, doesn't it?) Our Java Post Aerial Photography crew was happy (but not hollow) to be out there one sunny afternoon to capture a few lovely views of this scenic, rural area.…

There's an old joke that suggests that one of the great things about Southern Saskatchewan is that there aren't any pesky mountains to get in the way of the scenery. For many of us who were raised in the prairies, those wide open skies and endless rural vistas are part of who we are, even if we may be several generations removed from actual rural life. And, like a hawk soaring in the summer…

The Big Muddy Badlands area is a rugged and beautiful part of southern Saskatchewan, so named because it is situated along Big Muddy Creek...a creek which we can assume was both big and...wait for it...muddy. The landscape here sure puts the boots to the oft-told but incorrect assumption that Saskatchewan is nothing but miles and miles of waving wheat fields. Described as wildly scenic, the Big…

As we write this, the "Wintershines" winter festival will get underway in Saskatoon this coming weekend...but, as lovely and fun as Saskatoon can be in the winter, it's even more gorgeous in the summer sunshine. Slightly warmer, too! Earlier this year, we sent our Java Post Aerial Photography crew to Saskatoon and they spent a day photographing "the city of bridges" with…

Java Post Productions congratulates Verite Films and Brent Butt as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of the premiere episode of Canada's most-watched television comedy series of all time: "Corner Gas."

To misquote the musical stylings of The Loving Spoonful: "Hot Time, Summer in the City (of Regina)." At least we wish it was summer. Instead, we're currently stuck in the cold and snow. However, as the saying goes, hope springs eternal. (As in, we're all eternally hoping for spring to arrive.) To cheer ourselves up, we put together a short montage of lovely Regina summer images,…

Anyone remember summertime? You know, a time when we weren't in the middle of a bleak mid-winter, slogging through snow to scrape the frost off our car windows? Well, we at Java Post Production and Java Post Aerial Photography feel it's time for a ray of summer sunshine, to remind us all that we WILL get through this. Watch this 60-second Java Post Aerial Photography vignette - soon to be…

Java Post Production recently helped Conexus Credit Union launch its new Freestyle No-Fee Account. The television and web campaign consisted of 1x30 and 2x15 spots, with each spot featuring the story of a young boy anxiously waiting for school to end, so he could "feel free" and hit the winter slopes on his toboggan. The spots were directed by Robin Hays. The cinematographer was Jon…

Remember the old days when directors, producers, ad agency reps, clients and post-production editors would all huddle together around a little 27-inch reference monitor? Thankfully, those days are long gone. Go big or go bigger, that's our motto. Okay, it's not really our motto, but it should be! We just hooked up our latest large-screen viewing monitor in the edit suite/office of Java Post's…
