Our team is unique as we bring to the table skills and knowledge that our team members have earned through more than 40 years of combined experience in Canada and abroad working in virtually every form of media, and a variety of businesses and industries.

Our core focus is video production and video driven websites, but we are also able to offer established relationships with experts in branding strategy, website design, search engine optimization (SEO), social media, photography, creative writing, graphic arts and animation.

This is a lovely story with a great message.
How many family memories have been lost due to them being on VHS tape? Time is running out to save those family heirlooms as the emulation that stores those family heirlooms has a lifespan, and the clock is ticking.
We all feel nostalgia around the holidays, as we remember those who are no longer with us, and family that has moved away. We can sample VHS and 8mm in house, and we can edit and even improve the quality of the original video.
The digital version will literally last for many generations, if not forever, and it can be stored on computers, phones, tablets, and various physical storage formats. We can also burn the finished video to DVDs and Blu-Ray. These videos make a great Christmas gift, especially for the hard to buy for parents and grandparents.

We have a drone, which is useful, but it seems very unlikely that this enormous piece of utterly irrelevant hardware will ever be part of our production kit.

Recent advances in image enhancement technology have made it possible to do things with photos that even five years ago seemed like science fiction.
In this example, we were provided with the top image. It was a low resolution scan of an old paper photo taken half a century or more ago. The bottom image is what we were able to extrapolate from it, after we cleaned up the majority of scratches and other flaws, and greatly increased the resolution. We chose not to make it perfect, as given the age of the picture, that would look entirely too fake. We can also recover images from most kinds of computers and hard drives.

Next week, we are going to bring this little fella to the Big Blue Box Studios so he can teach camera operations to our three studio pups. It's about time they started earning their kibble and cuddles ;-)

It was our pleasure today to be of some small assistance to the Barrie Police Service who requested that we provide them with some video recordings of an apparent hit-and-run car accident in central Barrie that had been caught on surveillance cameras. Our producer sampled the video, spliced together three different angles of recording, and enhanced the imagery using state-of-the-art video tools like those used in police forensics, a trade our Producer worked in while in Europe a very long time ago.

Not every scene needs to have a big budget. Through careful camera operations, sets and location work that would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars to be custom built can be created for a few hundred.

Today, many sound effects are digital and come from libraries of subscription-based services. However, they don't always have what film and video producers need.

So, we are just this old, or at least our studio is 😉 Back in May of 2022, we were required to rip out the walls of the front bathroom due to a leak in the roof. We knew the house was constructed before the turn of the century, as we had been in the crawl space and had looked in the attic, but we weren't quite expecting what we found behind the walls. So, I called Mary Fletcher Harris of the Barrie Historical Archive who asked for some pictures to document the construction. Then it was time to fix that leak by installing a new roof. If you look closely, you can see the distance that was then common between the old boards that had contracted with time. In addition to all new shingles, the roofers installed 30 sheets of 4'x8' plywood. We have frequently commented on how the building is so quiet, and clearly the logs are a big part of that. We are guessing that our Big Blue Box Studios is one of the oldest buildings in The City of Barrie.
