My wife and I were recently at the grocery store checkout when I started flipping through the latest issue of National Geographic Magazine and came across my photo of Dr. Oakley: Yukon Vet!! It was being used in a full page advertisement (page 2) for the Nat Geo Wild TV show!! Pretty exciting to see my photo printed in Nat Geo as this had long been a goal of mine. It's not a feature spot but I'll take it!
Old Crow
"When the salmon return, we'll be ready!" - Pauline Frost
The Salmon Sub-Committee invited me to Old Crow last weekend to create a video on the importance of passing on traditional knowledge to younger generations. Themes of identity, community and perseverance where highlighted throughout the weekend.
This was my first trip to Old Crow and it was pretty spectacular. Here are a few screen grabs - video coming soon.
Dr. Oakley
I was on the ol' Facebook the other day and a sponsored ad came across my feed for National Geographic Channel's Dr. Oakley: Yukon Vet show. Lo and behold, they were using one of the photos I took of her while shooting a Behind the Scenes video for them in the fall of 2014 (it's the one at the top/banner). Anyways, thought that was pretty cool.
Here's a link to the video: https://vimeo.com/107859446
Ready, Willing & Able
"The opportunity to be able to do something, even if it's just for a few months, its a lifesaver for me." - Cheryl
Yukon Community Living Association got in touch a few weeks ago looking to create a video that featured Yukon employers and job seekers from their Ready, Willing & Able program. The video aims to encourage employers to hire people with disabilities. Over two days we shot a number of interviews and footage of employees with disabilities as they went about their daily jobs. From a grocery store cashier, to a self-employed dog walker and janitor, themes of teamwork, accomplishment and pride were highlighted throughout the shoot. Here are a few screen grabs. Video coming soon!
The City
I recently started editing a "non-corporate" Show Reel for this year's Available Light Film Festival (http://yukonfilmsociety.com/alff) and came across a short film I DOP'd for a Film School buddy and my cousin a few years back. It's kind of fun going through the last 5 years of archives - brings back the memories. Here are a few screen grabs. I'll upload the Show Reel real soon.
