Canalta Centre in Medicine Hat, Alberta

The Canalta Centre in Medicine Hat, Alberta is the city's latest attraction. Last week there were a series of grand opening events to introduce the space to the public. I attended the Media Sneak Peek as this summer I had the privilege of being hired to create the launch video for this event space and the new home of the Medicine Hat Tigers.  

One of the perks of creating the video was getting exclusive access to the Canalta Centre. This included seeing the score clock raised and lowered, a behind the scenes look as finishing touches were completed, and even the opportunity to shoot from the ceiling catwalks. Not to mention all of the amazing shots I captured last year while working on another video project during the construction process. This latest video then debuted during the launch events, and I had the humbling experience of seeing one of my projects debut on a jumbotron.

These are a collection of images I took during the shooting process and the Media Sneak Peek.
