We’ve been busy working on a number of "making of" projects, Electronic press kit/EPK projects including ‘the Making of The 6th Day’ for their DVD release. We’ve shot interviews and footage for electronic press kits (EPK’s) and documentaries for A&E Biography, Entertainment Tonight, Intimate Portraits etc.

We also service this market by shooting video insert material to be used for playback within the film as news footage, computer displays and surveillance video as we did in Tim Robbins' feature "Antitrust" and Robert Redford's "Spy Games".

For X-Men2, we shot the President in the Oval Office and the security camera footage displayed in the control room of Stryker's base.

Our experience in sport coverage proved valuable when we supplied a 5 camera Betacam crew to feed the jumbotron for the boxing fight scenes in Eddie Murphy's "I Spy".

Recent feature projects shot here which we have been able to play a supporting role include:

• X-men 2 - Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Patrick Stewart - Bryan Singer dir.

We actually spent two days on the Canal Plus – “Day in the Life of Jackie Chan” project. We were with him both on and off set.  He is a "force of nature".  It was amazing witnessing the volume and variety of work that he accomplished in just 48 hours.

Television Production

The Outer Limits, the X-files, Millenium, Stargate SG-1, Smallville, Highlander, Cold Squad, The L Word and DaVinci’s Inquest are just a few of the TV series which have been produced here. Gene Rodenberry’s Andromeda is one of the most popular shows in syndication. We shot on-set promos with Kevin Sorbo in both PAL and NTSC digibeta.

Disney recently completed production on a live action version of Snow White and the TV movie Ladies and the Champ featuring Olivia Dukakis. We joined Mandy Patinkin in the courtroom and plane crash sets of NTSB - Everything That Rises. Other high profile shows include Dark Angel starring Jessica Alba and Steven Spielberg’s Taken.

Masters of Horror

We had the pleasure of working behind the scenes with John Carpenter, John Landis Toby Dante and Italian Dario Argento for the behind the scenes special features material for the dvd release of Mick Garris’s anthology series.  A special treat was working with Oscar winning Special Makeup FX co-ordinator Howard Berger who is himself very much a Master of Horror.

For ABC we’ve gone behind the scenes on Kyle XY, Reaper and Samurai Girl.  Disney recently completed production on a live action version of Snow White and the TV movie Ladies and the Champ featuring Olivia Dukakis.  We've also helped out on other high profile shows such as Steven Spielberg's Taken and Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital.

Often these shoots require multiple camera setups. We shot a two camera PAL Digibeta session with the BBC's Michael Buerk interviewing Jim Caviezel on Mel Gibson's controversial project "The Passion of Christ".

We crewed a three camera shoot for an ABC Primetime feature interview of Hollywood power couple Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith while Will was here shooting I Robot.

In the BBC documentary on  “The Making of Kingdom Hospital”  we featured a cameo appearance and interview with author Stephen King.


Music

Audiences love to be taken behind the scenes in the music business. Recently we shot on the set of a music video with Snoop Dogg and spent a week with Janet Jackson preparing the EPK to launch her All For You tour.

We’ve been behind the scenes in the recording studio with Shakira, Sarah McLachlan, Nickleback, and Michael Buble and covered the start of the Spice Girls Reunion Tour for BBC’s Breakfast Television.

Other recent projects include:

Animation and Electronic Games

Vancouver is also a world center for computer animation. Mainframe Entertainment produced Reboot, the first completely computer generated children’s series here. They continued with Beast Wars and Gulliver’s Travels which will be shown in IMAX theatres. Electronic Arts, the world leader in video game production, has a huge production facility here. We’ve gone behind the scenes at their Vancouver studios to see "how they do it" for  ESPN and German Television and several US Gaming shows.

At their Motion Capture studios they have digitized Tiger Woods, Dwayne Wade, Lennox Lewis and many other world class athletes to include them in their games, most recently Anthony Parker for NBA Live 2009.
