LYFS Christmas Edition

I have a lot of fun producing the Living Young & Free Show for Currency Marketing.

I produce a bi-weekly show that is part of the Young & Free Program that Currency runs for numerous Credit Unions across North America.
With the holiday season right around the corner, I wanted to get the spokesters to do something festive. Something Christmasy.

Here’s what we came up with:

It was fairly extensive getting all the footage together.
I had 12 different pieces to sync with the song and with audio from the music being too low to sync with all of them, it came down to literal lip-syncing.

Here’s how my ‘close-to-the-end’ sequence ended up looking:

Askews Salmon Arm

In the heart of downtown Salmon Arm lies a treasure of local business history. Askews Foods has been in the Shuswap area since 1929. They are like the brick and mortar for so many people.

This last year, Askews Foods began expansion on Salmon Arm Uptown. A beautiful, open design store that continues to feature all of the great local produce and products that Askews Foods is known for.

Along with the new building, they also brought in an amazing pharmacy with local staff and a wellness center. It’s a gorgeous facility that is located right off the highway on the main highway. Stop in the next time you’re in the area!

BC Rodeo Finale Video

Back in September I had a crazy month of traveling. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of great people AND see a lot of great things through my lens.
One of those things was the BCRA Final Rodeo of the year. I was in Quesnel for the weekend (to film an ad you can see here) and Regency had asked if I could film a video for the year end banquet that the BCRA would be doing. Regency isn’t just a sponsor of the BCRA, they are an extremely proud and bragging kind of sponsor of the BCRA. They sponsor so much of what the BCRA does, so it was great to see a business in action and to help them make something cool.

Young & Free Show: ReVamped

FilmAds is a huge part of what I do day to day.
There is one other marketing company that I’m a part of and really enjoy working with.
Currency Marketing is a credit union marketing company based in Chilliwack. They have built an integrated marketing approach that have made some really impressive numbers for credit unions all across North America. Check out the Young & Free HQ site.
One of the things I get to work on with Currency is a bi-weekly show called, The Living Young & Free Show. We just released our 71st episode of the show.
I’ve been working on this show for over a year now. Here’s one of the first shows I got to produce for them:

This past summer, after a couple meetings at the sweet digs of Currency, we came up with a plan to cut the length down of the show, make it more graphic heavy and really punchy. Here’s one of our latest episodes:

We’ve got more great ideas rolling out and it’s been an absolute pleasure to be a part of this great company.

Headhunters Spa: Lacombe Full Motion Spot

As mentioned in my previous post, Lacombe Ford, FilmAds is now offering Full Motion spots for local businesses.
These are exclusive spots that play WITH the trailers, with the lights down and 99% of the audience seated, looking at the screen (at YOUR ad!)

With Lacombe City Cinemas being a two screen theatre, it makes sense to offer two full motion spots for local businesses.
