Working People Series: BC History coming alive through images

There is something very special to learn about our own backyard through images. The documentary mini-series about Working People and Labour History in British Columbia for Knowledge Network has been a work in progress for over a year and a half. An amazing team of some of this province’s top historians, labour experts, archivists, researchers and history buffs have assisted in collaborating to bring forward some of the most compelling and exciting stories about Labour History throughout BC’s history. All told through archival images and moving pictures, it is an exciting project that allows the viewer to take a trip back in time and learn about how our province, industries and many types of legislation came to be what we are familiar with today. We are deep into the research, writing and editing phases and are looking forward to having the project come together for the people of British Columbia to enjoy later this year.

Stay tuned for more updates as the project gets closer to competition.

 

eSports Hero: And that’s a Wrap!

After traveling all over the US, Canada and even to South Korea, we have officially wrapped on production for our documentary Rise of the eSports Hero. We capped off our final shoot with a good old fashioned road trip to Portland for a fairytale wedding between two of our subjects. While that is a wrap on our DOP Matteo Di Iorio, Stephen and I are now jumping into the edit suite full on to get the rough cut together and out the door.

 

eSports Hero: From Phoenix 2 San Francisco

Back from another roadtrip with the team. Stephen & Matteo worked incredibly hard with a back to back shoot in Phoenix, Arizona at Team Evil Geniuses team training house “The Lair” and in San Francisco, California with Evil Geniuses CEO Alexander Garfield. A whirlwind of a shoot with endless hours of footage, little to no sleep and travel stories to boot. Stephen, Matteo and the entire Evil Geniuses gang were troopers the whole way and subsequently we came back with some filmic gold. Now off to the edit suite!

 

eSports Hero: We head to the epicentre of E-Sports, South Korea!

As we continue to delve further into the world of eSports, all signs pointed to Seoul, South Korea as THE place we had to get to. After months of planning we finally hit the air for our big shoot in South Korea. A trip of a lifetime. Not knowing what we were getting ourselves into, we had a fantastic shoot with many of our subjects as well as spending a great evening at the GSL Studios. Seeing the phenomenon that everyone has spoken to about Starcraft and South Korea came true in front of our eyes and things started to click. Can’t wait for the audience to take a glimpse into this fascinating world!
