The Saskatchewan Roughriders Football Club recently unveiled its 2013 advertising campaign theme: "This is where memories are made!" And Java Post Production has some excellent memories of helping to create the 90-second web and 60-second broadcast spots. The video features the song "Oh What I Wouldn't Do" by Canadian singer/songwriter Serena Ryder. And yes, it's a total coincidence that a…

Okay, you're probably wondering what the heck we're talking about. Join the club. Java Post Production is located on the 4th floor of the Strathdee Building on Dewdney Avenue in Regina. If that doesn't ring any bells, there are two reasons: 1) The building doesn't have any bells, and 2) Most people know it as the Bushwakker Brew Pub building. Anyway, the entire building is getting new exterior…

Why do we work here at Java Post Production? Well, we get asked that question all the time. Okay, not all the time. Closer to "never," if you want to get technical. What we DO hear all the time is along the lines of "Wow, it must be great to come to work here everyday." Yes. Yes it is. Play the video and we'll tell you why.

As many sci-fi, action-movie fans will know, "Get to da choppah!" is a classic Arnold Schwarzenegger line from the movie "Predator." It helps to imagine Arnold saying it in his distinctive accent. Well, Java Post is "getting to da choppah," too. We're assembling our remote control camera helicopter...or "HEXacopter" as it's called, because it has six separate rotor blades. This unit will allow…

Recently, the sports broadcasting community of Canada mourned the passing of one of its legends: Johnny Esaw. A member of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and a 2004 inductee into the Order of Canada, the North Battleford, Saskatchewan-born Esaw cast a long shadow over sports broadcasting in Canada for decades.

We hope you all have a Happy Easter. Remember, eat the chocolate bunny ears first.

Whenever you do an outdoor shoot in Saskatchewan in March, you're going to take your chances with the weather. This year, especially. We recently shot a project for the client and, as you'll see in this video, well...let's just say the weather doesn't always take direction as well as we might hope. No worries. We can fix this in post. In fact, our middle name is "Post."

When an editor is sitting in a comfy chair in a nice, warm editing suite, it's easy to forget that the footage didn't just get there on its own. It took a crew of skilled professionals to get it to the editing suite. And this crew is led by a creative, problem-solving, hands-on director. And, oh, it's a glamourous life these directors lead. Surrounded by supermodels...waited on hand and foot.…
