Before you speak to us... let our work speak for itself.

The events that took place in its historic walls, in 1864, set the stage for Canada’s destiny.
In A Building of Destiny we captured the drama and suspense of what was at stake for Canada during the Charlottetown Conference held in Prince Edward Island’s beloved Province House. Using twenty-three actors to portray the Father’s of Confederation (including speaking roles for John A. Macdonald, George-Etienne Cartier and George Brown) we brought to life their powerful personalities and their stirring voices of diplomacy, intellect and wit during this pivotal time in Canada’ s history. Tying this incredible story together, at the site of the Birthplace of Confederation, is an engaging on-camera female Host. The Host never interacts with the many historical dramatic recreations, but is physically present and provides contextual insight of the Conference’s events and of the many stunning architectural attributes of Province House itself.

Are Canadians stuck in the past when it comes to paying their taxes?
The challenge for this production was to appeal to two different audiences (business and individual) while promoting the same basic intent — to encourage Canadians to file their taxes online. The solution was to create two different short form videos using the same innovative creative approach. The creative approach we developed was immersing our spokesperson for businesses and our spokesperson for individuals in a green screen environment and gave them animated props that related to their category. All props such as laptops, desks, chairs, a mailbox, etc., were painted green and replaced with animated illustrations of the same objects the the spokespeople were interacting with. The result was entertaining and informative videos that communicated the need for change to audiences who often resist change.

How do we know vaccines in Canada are safe?
To promote confidence in Canadian vaccines, and encourage immunization by the general public, we created a 90-second, dynamic “graphic-driven” production that tackled a complex subject in an engaging manner. Through medical symbolism and stylish choreographed graphical movement we showcased vaccine development, regulation and post-production surveillance. Appearing on the Canada.ca website, Healthy Canadians YouTube channels and other Government of Canada social media outreach sites this impactful new video continues to provide assurances for Canadians, regardless of their cultural and socio-economic background, to fully trust Canadian vaccines.

One of the most significant events in human migration history occurred just because the Vikings took a left turn and landed on the northern tip of Newfoundland.
In Completing the Circle we used an engaging host to debunk the many myths associated with Vikings and tell the epic journey of how Viking explorers came to L’Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland in quest of resources. Reenacting the Vikings’ dramatic encounter with local First Nations inhabitants, viewers are treated to a significant event in history—the first full-circle reunion of two different migrating branches of humans who had both left Africa 100,000 years ago! Reenactments, and CGI, were also used to tell another dramatic journey filled with suspense; that of the search for the Viking village and its ensuing archeological dig.

The Cypress Hills Massacre, of 1873, hastened the dispatching of the North West Mounted Police to tame Canada’s wild, wild west and establish Fort Walsh.
IAmerican whiskey traders selling rotgut in Canada’s west. Wolf Hunters bent on revenge. Nakoda First Nations trying to survive as their resources dwindle. These three parties all clash together at Cypress Hills — a natural anomaly near the border of Saskatchewan and Alberta. For Echoes of the Broken Hills we relied on good old storytelling, presented by a dynamic Host, to take viewers on an incredible journey of lawlessness, sacrifice, perseverance and heartbreak. To capture the emotional and visual authenticity of the Cypress Hills Massacre, reenactments were created using compelling original artistic illustrations and onsite First Nations and NWMP reenactors. These stunning illustrations combined with location shooting (including drone aerials) showcased to Cypress Hills’ beauty and exposed viewers to the powerful strength and goodwill of First Nations Peoples and the North West Mounted Police.

In times of crisis, there is now more than one way to call for help.
Telecommunications networks are evolving and now can offer much more than just voice services. To communicate how existing 9-1-1 networks are adapting into next generation 9-1-1 services, we used stylistic graphic animation to describe these new services. Using graphical icons that Canadians are familiar with, we showcased the benefits and the sophistication of the new technologies being proposed. This production created great anticipation for the new 9-1-1 services that could potentially help Canadians when a crisis occurs.

An air carrier has lost your luggage. Do you know your rights?
The average Canadian air traveller has no idea about their rights and responsibilities when it comes to lost luggage, being bumped from their flight, having their flight delayed or other sensitive issues related to air travel. In order for travellers to understand seemingly confusing rules and regulations associated with their tickets, we created a series of fun, stylish and easy-to-understand animated videos. Featuring a central pictogram character, who experiences many of the inconveniences we all sometime face during air travel, the series of videos not only educates viewers about their rights and responsibilities, but also ultimately reduces stress, promotes trust and gives viewers a sense of empowerment.

Parks Canada
To entice travellers to consider embarking on a Parks Canada Northern Iconic Experience this breathtaking production had to, first and foremost, debunk the myth that visiting Canada’s North is only for hard-core adventurers. Through an emotional and poetic narrative, combined with spectacular northern footage, we established an authentic universal connection with the everyday traveller to appeal to their lure of adventure. We fully engage viewers’ senses so that they could almost breathe the fresh air and feel the texture of the rich tundra; the fragility and raw beauty of the land; the power of its glaciers and icebergs; and, gave them a scrumptious taste of the local music and art that permeates the Inuit culture.
