From everyone at Java Post Production and Java Post Aerial Photography, have a very happy Thanksgiving, Canada! Beautiful maple leaf images courtesy of the talented (and most interesting) Tom Davidson. "Stay thankful, my friends."

The first annual Regina International Film Festival Awards ceremony was held October 2nd and 3rd, and Java Post Production was pleased to take part in the gala event, held at the Conexus Arts Centre. Crystal Van Pelt rocked the red carpet and awards podium, representing Java Post. Here is Java Post's elegant red carpet representative, Crystal, waiting to go onstage to…

One of our Java Post Production team was recently featured in a cover story for QC Magazine, here in Regina, Saskatchewan. Regina is known as the Queen City, so that's the "QC" part of the magazine title. Java Post's own Doug Russell was a founder of the Queen City Marathon, an international qualifying race for the legendary Boston Marathon. The QCM, as it's known, celebrated…

As we mentioned in our news feed on August 24th, one of the most powerful post-production techniques in film and television for creating images that convey emotional tone and mood is called colour grading. Colour grading is, for lack of a better description, basic colour correction taken to a higher level. The colour and shading in an image is shaped and manipulated - sometimes subtly, sometimes…

The Java Post Aerial Photography UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle or "drone") gets to buzz happily through the air, hovering high  - well, a legally mandated 90 metres high, anyway - above the earth. Meanwhile, however, our flight crew must stay down on the ground, getting stuck in the mud on a rural road in Saskatchewan. The Java Post Aerial Photography crew had been out for a few days…

John Denver might like sunshine on his shoulders, but, when you're trying to read a computer screen outdoors, sunshine can sometimes be a real pain in the eyes.  Such was the case when the Java Post Aerial Photography flight crew was recently on the road recording some 4K Ultra HD video and high-resolution stills for an industrial client. However, our crew faced the sunshine - literally -…

The Java Post Aerial Photography flight crew recently spent a few days on the road - well, several roads, actually - working on a large industrial project. The project had our crew capturing 4K Ultra HD video and high resolution still images, which will then be incorporated into a visual presentation to be completed sometime, pardon the pun, down the road. Java Post UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)…

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…

There's an old joke that goes something like this: A guy sees a sign: Talking Dog For Sale. He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard. "You talk?" he asks the dog. "Yep," the dog replies. After the guy recovers from the shock, he says "So, what's your story?" The dog looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I…

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. Needless to say, this wasn't as easy as tossing a fishing pole and a couple of t-shirts into a knapsack. Television production crews…

Sometimes - even in the middle of a busy shoot for the upcoming Tourism Saskatchewan campaign - a person just has to take the time to pause, take a deep breath of clean air, and enjoy the natural beauty of Saskatchewan. Welcome to scenery country, Trevor.

When one ventures in the majestic wilderness of central and northern Saskatchewan, one may wish to pack a variety of camping and sporting equipment: a tent, a camp stove, a canoe, fishing poles, etc. Or you could do it the Java Post Production way: book yourself into a nice lodge and bring along a bunch of high-tech camera gear, which - while being incredibly useful for capturing gorgeous images…

Congratulations to our own Randy Shumay, who ran 42.2K in the Credit Union Queen City Marathon this past Sunday in Regina. Randy is going to be sporting some serious bling, as he swaggers around the office with his sweet marathon medal, being all "Yeah, that's right. I ran 42.2K this weekend. What did YOU do?" And to what does Randy attribute his finely-honed athletic skills?…
