We here at Java Post Production haven't had so much fun with a new production tool since we installed our fancy cappuccino machine. Our new mini helicopter (AKA "the Javacopter") allows us to capture amazing high-definition aerial images and go places that conventional helicopter-mounted cameras can't possibly go.

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.

"Get to da choppah!"

Topics:   Java Blog

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.
