It's time for another "Throwback Thursday," where we dig deep into the archives and blow the dust off some production memories. The year: 1983. The place: Qingdao, China. The event: A young "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe (pictured) and a slightly-older-than-Jack-but-also-young Tom Davidson are shooting promotional footage for a troupe of skilled Chinese acrobats who would soon be touring Canada. As…

Java Post Production hit the highway and took to the air for the latest broadcast commercial from STC (Saskatchewan Transportation Company). It was a very sunny but very chilly -26 Celsius morning when the Java Post aerial photography flight crew - along with representatives from the client and advertising agency Phoenix Group - began shooting travelling shots of an STC bus as it rolled down the…

Congratulations to all the athletes who represented our country during the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. All of Canada is so very, very proud of you! Go, Canada, Go!

Okay, perhaps the title of this post sounds a little strange. What we mean to say is that two of our Java Post Production employees - Randy Shumay and Doug Russell - recently had the chance to get up close and personal with the CFL Grey Cup. When they are not working at Java Post, Randy and Doug work for the Saskatchewan Roughriders' game-day MaxTron crew - helping provide the live production…

Despite the currentl frigid weather in Regina, the Java Post Aerial Photography crew took to the air in a residential Regina neighbourhood earlier this week to document a project for Failsafe House Lifting. As you might guess from their business name, Failsafe House Lifting specializes, obviously, in lifting houses. Java Post flight supervisor Ted Delanghe cleared our proposed flight plan through…

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).
