Here's a little video I threw together from a session last fall of local Whitehorse rider, Ray Cormier.

CanadaSCORES Vancouver
I was having drinks with a friend a few months ago and he mentioned he was doing some work with a new charity named CanadaSCORES, which runs an after school program for at risk youth across the lower mainland. The program combines soccer, poetry and community service as well as on-going mentoring for students. Right away I wanted to be a part of it. I grew up in Whitehorse playing soccer, played throughout University and even started the first local Whitehorse kids soccer camp during summers home from University - so needless to say soccer has been a large part of my life - to be expected I guess when one has an Irish mother. I asked my friend how I could help and within a few days I was CanadaSCORES' video guy. Here are a few screen grabs from outings with the team.

SS Klondike
A still from a timelapse test. Fun Fact: the SS Klondike ran up and down the Yukon river from Whitehorse to Dawson City from 1937-1950 and was actually made using parts of an older ship (the SS Klondike l) that had run aground. I think they should get it back in the game as a travelling casino!
Thirst Aid
Yukon Brewery got in touch the other week to see if I could do some basic product shots for their new "Thirst Aid" cases. After some "very tough" negotiations, of course I said yes!
"Now, that's how you Dawson!"
This past weekend I had the opportunity to document a team of Whitehorse hockey players in the Dawson City Men's Tourney. Over the past few years I've heard legendary stories of the shenanigans that go on at this tourney, so I figured I'd better tag along and put together something of a mini-doc or a trailer of the weekend. Visions of a grittier HBO's 24/7 were in my head at first, but I quickly realized I didn't have nearly enough crew to follow the ever evolving storylines, nevermind the games themselves. I think you'd need a crew of at least 3 cameras to do it properly - but I did manage to get some gold...some that is "fit to print" so to speak. Other footage must unfortunately be left on the cutting room floor. Here are a few grabs from the weekend (click on the image below to scroll through. Trailer/mini-doc coming soon):
