I was going through some of my old photo CDs and came across some of the snapshots that I took when trying to come up with a poster for my first Buick to the Future short. I remember we did this at the end of the afternoon after the footage had just been shot. It's the kind of campy project that I seem to enjoy even more as nostalgia improves it. You can check out the Buick to the Future shorts here.
I shot this on Friday morning coming into work. It's true a web company can be almost anywhere! The contrast between our location and the creative work we do is always a topic of conversation for visitors. It's like we're in the middle of nowhere, a modern office just minutes outside of the city.
When I pictured the types of video jobs I might do after film school I never imagined my day to day setting looking quite like this. The novelty of the prairies, and of being surrounded by open landscape for that matter, is quite literally a breath of fresh air.
In the several years that I've been working as a videographer and editor with Stream Media I have had the opportunity to see and participate in a lot of really cool projects. This summer in particular was full of several larger edits that occupied much of my extra time outside of the web company I also do video work for.
I wanted to give a shout out to Stream Media for being recognized by the EDA (Economic Development Alliance of Southern Alberta) after they received top honors at the 2010 National Marketing Awards for several projects produced by our team.
One of the edits I did this summer was mentioned specifically in the press release, which is really cool after all the work that went into it. You can see the press release and a link to the video here.
Congrats go out to EDA and Stream Media! I'm very proud to have been able to play a role in this success with you.
