We were lucky enough to partner with Pepper - Your Business BFF on this promotional video for SMART Options Inc.
Smart Options is a government funded supportive employment agency that supports employers in hiring job seekers with developmental disabilities.
While it was great to partner with our friends at Pepper and promote such a wonderful local organization, the best part of this project by far was getting to know Vince and telling his inspiring story.
This promo video is part of a series we are working on with Tournament Capital Strength & Conditioning.
The TCSC Youth Fitness Program is designed to introduce kids to the gym and improving their fitness early on, to ensure they have the tools to stay fit and healthy into adulthood.
The main goal of this this video was to capture the happiness of the kids training, but if I'm being honest there wasn't a lot of smiling going on during the workouts . However, the smiles that followed when they finished their workout, shattered a PR, or completed an exercise they previously weren't able to do were definitely worth capturing!
“My name is Emma Christy, I am 23 years old and I recently tested positive for COVID-19”
Interviewing Emma and creating this video made me realize just how easy it is to contract COVID-19. It also reiterated that the guidelines aren’t so much about keeping ourselves safe, but keeping the vulnerable populations within our community safe.
One of our recent videos for the Covid-19 #socializesafely campaign launched by the RIH Foundation. This shoot brought on a host of new challenges for me, especially being Australian and never having filmed on ice before, I definitely felt like I was in unknown territory for the first few minutes. Thank goodness for ice shoe grips…they work like a charm 😂
A huge thank you to Logan Stankoven from the Kamloops Blazers, who absolutely nailed his acting debut and put up with me asking him to repeat the same action for the camera about a million times from multiple different angles! What a champ!
Ultimately, I am very grateful to have been a part of this project and to be involved in promoting a message of such huge importance during this critical time.
