This video project is part of an initiative with the Rural Alberta Development Fund to support rural communities, regional alliances and organizations in kickstarting projects that contribute to the betterment of rural Alberta. RADF’s vision is to illustrate rural Alberta’s “vibrant and sustainable communities where rural and urban families, organizations, businesses, and governments are vital contributors to the growth, prosperity and quality of life of Albertans.”

The shoot included aerial shots of Warner, time on ice with the girls, and interviews with the individuals closely involved with this extraordinary girls’ hockey team.

Panasonic AF-100

Sheena — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 14:38:18 +0000

A new addition to the Lindisfarne family has been received with open arms. We have added the new Panasonic AF100 camera to our equipment list. This beauty gives us the opportunity to record video that delivers a shallow depth of field, similar to a 35mm movie camera. This allows us to shoot a variety of interview “styles” that deliver different onscreen effects. This camera also utilizes a variety of camera lenses, giving us a variety of styles from which to make the most appropriate choice for each shot.

Call us and take our new AF-100 out for a test drive!

Yoga

Sheena — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 21:44:53 +0000

We have become incredibly inflexible! The discovery came as we wrapped up our 2-day shoot filming an instructional yoga video with the incredibly agile Megan Poirier. Not going to lie, some of us were pretty envious. It is absolutely incredible what these avid yoga practitioners can do.

The shoot involved 3 synchronized Panasonic HPX3000 cameras, so that the final product will easily show all the different angles of all the different poses demonstrated. We also incorporated dolly shots to add a sense of flowing movement to the video.

The tricky part was finding an appropriate location. We wanted the backdrop of the yoga video to be interesting but not so much that it might distract viewers practicing with the video.

Our clients, Yellow Pebble Media, found an incredible location: LubeXX’s Head Office, which was recently renovated using wood from an old grain elevator, giving the building a rustic, cabin-like feel. Perfect for a yoga video!

Megan, the star of the video, was amazing to watch. She had to repeat each pose at least 3 times… sometimes more. Over the two days, she probably spent more than 16 hours in yoga positions. She perfectly executed each and every pose, and never once complained of being tired. This woman is a machine! An extremely flexible machine.

We just might take up yoga. Starting tomorrow.

Showhome Parade

Sheena — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 21:44:46 +0000

Creating Showhome Parade has been an amazing process. Thanks to partnerships with numerous homebuilders we’ve been able to shoot a wide variety of homes throughout Edmonton and region.

Our goal was to make the homes look as beautiful onscreen as they do in real life, so we decided to shoot on our Panasonic HPX3000. This Gold Standard camera captures Master-Quality high definition video and Cinema-Quality images in full-raster 1920 x 1080 resolution with 4:2:2 10-bit sampling using the advanced AVC-Intra codec (Translation for non-tech types: “incredibly wicked/clear images”). Dolly shots added fluid movement to each show, as various aspects of each home were highlighted.

You can view the current showhomes representing the best of Alberta’s homebuilders’ efforts by tuning into CTV or by visiting showhomeparade.ca. Join our host, Jenny Adams, as she takes you through some of the most beautiful homes in the city.

You’ll enjoy your virtual stroll through the best and most beautiful showhomes in this regional market.
