The monthly Top 3 are Back!!  Les Top 3 du mois sont de retour.

Here are the top 3 for the month of Mai.  The first image “Did You Hear That!” is from a series produced for York Transit on public transit security.  Shot in Toronto, I must say that we had a great team and some amazing talent that really pulled through for us!  Shooting the scenes for 2 and a half days in a YRT/VIVA bus garage and then window fillers in the York Region can be challenging but it is definitely rewarding when you see the images come together!  

The second image is from an amazing cottage that is now up for sale on the waters of Lac St.Pierre.  For a 1.2 million it could be yours!!  This is one of a whole series of images and motion footage we created to promote the sale of this property.  Lesson learned…  We got chewed on by black flies getting dusk shots of the property… never forget the bug spray in May!!

The last image is for the major renovation and re-opening of Giovanni’s Restaurant on Preston st.  The Restaurant went through a complete makeover from the exterior to the interiors and we were asked to create some image for their upcoming promotional campaign.  Surrounded by tone of workers rushing to finish everything for the June 1st opening, we were able to pull off some great images!! 

Can’t wait to see what next month brings!!

—————————————————————————

Voici les top 3 du mois de mai.  La première image “Did You Hear That!” est d’une séries que nous avons produit pour York Transit.  Photographié à Toronto, nous avions une supère équipe de productions et de talents qui nous on donner des résultat incroyables.  Nous avons photographier le talent pendant 2 jours et demi dans un garage d’autobus YRT/VIVA et les scènes pour remplir le fenêtre dans la région de York.  Ce genre de photo est toujours plus compliqué a produire, mais c’est très satisfaisant lorsqu’on voit les images finales assemblées!

La 2ième image est d’un chalet incroyable à vendre sur les eaux du lac St.Pierre.  Nous avons produit une série d’images et de vidéos pour promouvoir la vente de cette propriété.  La leçon appris pendant ce “shooting” …c’est de ne jamais oublier l’aérosol contre les mouches noires au mois de mai!!

La dernière image vient du Restaurant Giovanni’s, nouvellement rénové,  sur la rue Preston.  Le resto à une rénovation complète de l’extérieur à l’intérieur et on nous a demander de venir photographier les travaux complétés pour leur campagne publicitaire.  Entouré de travailleurs, pressés par l’ouverture officiel du 1er juin, nous avons pu produire de superbes images malgré le désorde!

J’ai bien hâte de voir ce que le mois de juin nous réserve!

YRT Security Campaign - Before & After

It might look like simple shots to create but lots of work goes into producing these images.  Due to weather and wind constraints, these 3 images were composed of multiple shots captured inside one of YRT’s bus locations, as well as outside in the York region.   After two and half days of shooting and countless hours of manipulation, we’re happy to say, these are the results!

What to do while you wait for your backup to finish at the end of a successful shoot?

Well we figured out the best game on our latest project… We call it “coaster bowling”.  It’s all about building pyramids of coasters and knocking them down with other coasters.  The perfect game you’ll find in any boardroom.  Sure beats waiting around  for 40GB of images to copy.
