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." Java Post Productions was (and is!) very proud to have done the post-production and effects for every season of Corner Gas. There was always lots and lots of laughter in the edit…

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…

Hang in there, Golfers! While we all suffer through the grip of this frigid "polar vortex," here's a little message of hope to all the golfers across Saskatchewan, from your friends at Java Post Production. Press "Watch" and enjoy.

Java Post Productions was pleased to complete two more video projects for the Mosaic Company's Belle Plaine potash mine. Both videos will be used internally for training Belle Plaine plant employees. The first video explains the employee-driven SABER safety program. SABER is an acronym for Safe Attitude Becomes Everyone's Responsibility. The second project is used to educate and motivate…

It's been a banner day at Java Post! Get it? "Banner" day? Because we received our new banners? Oh, never mind. Our friends at Imagination Ink helped us create a pair of banners (pictured below), which we will be using to promote our services at upcoming industry trade shows across the province. After all, we can't spend every waking hour in dimly-lit production suites, can we? The banner on…

Yes, it's that time of year once again when good little coffee beans are snuggled in their beds, listening for the sound of sleighbells jingling in the night. Have YOU been a good little coffee bean this year? We certainly hope so because, if you have been good, you may hear more in the sky than just sleighbells. Press "Watch" and find out! MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all our…

Yes, we know the song title is actually "Werewolves of London," but Lumsden seemed more fitting, given the local Saskatchewan nature of the Echolands Creative Group feature film "WolfCop," (www.WolfCop.com). As the tag line says, it's like Dirty Harry...only hairier. WolfCop recently wrapped up principal photography in and around Regina and Moose Jaw. Both of which are not too terribly far from…

Shake it up, Baby...Twist and Shoot! With apologies to the Fab Four, we're just having too much fun with our latest production tool: the Java Post Steadi-Arm. Using the same solid, GPS stability that makes our Javacopter high-definition aerial footage so stunning and production-friendly, the versatile Java Post Steadi-Arm allows an operator to basically "fly" the camera along the ground, while…
