Green Screen Billboard Compositing

Augmented reality is a technology where a user sees a static image come to life by looking at it through their phone or other enabled device. The challenge presented to me by my client was to simulate this technology, with out having to rent a city billboard. This was a fun project to tackle as it covered a number of different concepts and effects. Due to this, the tutorial is a bit long, but I think you will learn a lot!

Israel & Oversees

These represent 2 of my favourite videos of 2013. Beautifully filmed interviews combined with eye-catching 3D treated photographs and some very compelling Israeli stories of tolerance of rehabilitation. Produced and filmed by Eclipse Productions for Federation CJA, Imagination Creations was hired to shoot the still photos as well as to do all the editing and effects on both videos.

Take a look at the result in these amazing Israeli endeavours.

We're here to help!

I believe that Quebec and Canada have Charters of Human Rights and Freedoms for a reason. So when the Quebec government proposed Bill 60, I wanted to take action. I conceived the idea for this video with the support of the Jewish General Hospital and it garnered the attention of the public as well as the media as I had hoped. The video is simple in it's design. Filmed on Wednesday and Thursday, edited on Friday and uploaded on Monday. In it's first 2 weeks online, the video was watched 16,000 times.

Word spread to the media, and the Montreal Gazette was the first to get in touch with me. Aaron Derfel interviewed me over the phone and his article was published the next day.

  The news then travelled half way around the world and I was contacted by the Times of Israel

All in all, I am very pleased with the success of the video and the attention it received. I thank all those who helped spread the word and those who provided me with the guidance necessary to see the project through.

Silhouettes: Noah Bick

Silhouettes is a great new short biography series that features young local personalities. Imagination Creations was hired to film and edit the second episode featuring local music promoter, Noah Bick of Passovah Productions. We filmed on location at Chez Boris and Nouveau Palais to put together this video biography.

Shaar Videos

Congregation Shaar Hashomayim was interested in creating a series of video around the Jewish High Holy Days, featuring the members of their clergy.We shot in a few locations around town to produce some very charming short videos!

"..the new gold standard in clergy videos...".
