During this spell of frightfully frigid weather in Regina, there's at least one person at Java Post Production who is curling up for warmth near an open flame. Our animator, Kevin Drysdale, has been working away on a soon-to-be-released animated web commercial for SaskEnergy, produced through MGM Communications. Here you can see Kevin working on an animated natural gas "flame" that will play a…

Java Post Production recently completed a third animated commercial for CUPE Saskatchewan, entitled "Scenery." This is a continuation of the animation style previously established in the first two commercials. An extra challenge for Java Post animators Kevin Drysdale and Tomás Ibar was that the animated characters were not just going to be walking or running but, as you can see in the…

Why is this man smiling? And why is he wearing a silly party hat? Well, he's smiling because today is his birthday. And he's wearing a silly party hat because a couple of his employees had access to Google and PhotoShop. Everyone here at Java Post Production wishes a very happy birthday to "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe, the driving force behind Java Post and our very dear friend and colleague.…

Our Java Post Production crew (Trevor Bennett and Jack Tunnicliffe, pictured left to right, below) were out in the bright - but chilly - winter sunshine today, working with the good folks at Phoenix Group on a new campaign for the Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC). Jack and Trevor used the Java Post Aerial Photography Javacopter for tracking shots, following an STC passenger bus as it…

The 41st annual Saskatchewan Safety Council Industrial Safety Seminar wrapped up this Tuesday at Prairieland Exhibition Park in Saskatoon, and the Java Post Production Steadi-arm camera was there for a quick video tour. Java Post was pleased to be one of the many safety-related companies taking part in the trade show exhibition. Our team had the opportunity to talk with - and learn from - many…

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." 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…

We'll…
