My ongoing collaboration with Louise Abbott of Rural Route Communications continues. For this video, I did the online edit.
Frontier Animal Society
I recently shot a demo video for the Frontier Animal Society, produced by Louise Abbott of Rural Route Communications. We’ve worked together on several documentaries and other videos, and it’s always been a pleasure. Edited this one together with her as well. Check it out:
Luca has an accident
Our one-year-old loves his bath and gets excited after he comes out. This time he lost it a bit at the end…
Block and Tackle Traditional Timber Frame Raising
One of my clients is a filmmaker in the Eastern Townships named Louise Abbott. She’s an active documentary producer, and completed this video recently:
I helped shoot it, and pretty much everything from 0:56-3:12 is mine. Helped with the online edit as well. Lots of fun.
Luca’s first word.
Our youngest is starting to talk. Thirteen months old now. He tries to say “hot” and “shoe”, but here’s his first very obvious word.
Montreal Live Steamers
Took the family and a couple of friends for a train ride at the Montreal Live Steamers. What a cool place!
Shot on my iPhone, so you’ll excuse the quality…

I want to add a plug for my favourite forum site, DVINFO. A moderated, real-name site that is invaluable for all kinds of video related info. Check it out if you want to become part of an addictive online community.

New Baby!
My wife, Chantal, and I just had a new baby on Saturday, September 19, 2009. His name is Luca. Here’s a quick video of him at 4 days old.
Exercise Video for seniors
I was hired last fall to shoot an exercise video for seniors. Small budget, so I ended up doing the entire thing myself: direction, camera, sound, editing. Fortunately it turned out well. When I get a chance, I’ll post a sample, but for now, here is some feedback sent to the trainer:
“Ton DVD est tout simplement MAGNIFIQUE. C’est relaxant et très agréable à regarder… C’est vraiment plaisant de faire ces exercices en ta compagnie, celle de ton élève, des arbres et de leurs belles couleurs automnales, du ciel bleu, de l’eau, du petit canard et jusqu’à l’écureuil. La ou les personnes qui ont filmé sont vraiment professionnelles. Tout est bien cadré, fait artistiquement et avec minutie. “
(Your DVD is simply magnificent. It’s relaxing and very pleasant to watch…It’s truly a pleasure to do these exercises in your company, and that of your student, with the trees and their beautiful autumn colours, the blue sky, the water, the small duck and even the squirrel. The person (or people) who filmed it are truly professional. All is well framed, artistically done and meticulous.)
Well, that made my day!
Stefania and Andrew
I spent the day with Stefania and Andrew in July, shooting their wedding. Everything was great, and I couldn’t have been happier with the footage, and the resulting video. Check out their highlights here:
It’s in H.264 format as usual, so install the latest Quicktime if you have trouble viewing.
Enjoy!
