HyperActive has been working with The ACT Foundation for almost 10 years now, creating video assets to help them with their in-person CPR training, and now the just-released e-learning program for CPR and overdose first aid. Nice to hear it in the news!

Working with UNICEF Canada, we shot five public service announcements, detailed still photography, and short that marking the fifth anniversary of the earthquake that devastated . The footage focuses on the rebuilding process, with full profiles of six children and a separate short documentary about local delegates on the ground who worked through the initial phase of the tragedy.

A fascinating and profoundly emotional project for the Canadian Red Cross about the experience Canadian delegates underwent during their deployment to the Philippines ERU for typhoon Haiyan. CRC deployed an emergency field hospital in the city of Ormoc, and provided helped thousands of patients, delivered 418 babies, and trained Philippine Red Cross staff and volunteers in how to deploy and operate the field hospital, which was left behind as a legacy.

Since 2002, HyperActive has had the honour to act as a primary communications supplier to the Foundation providing counsel, planning services, campaign development, and a range of tools. We successfully moved the Foundation away from an expensive paid-buy advertising paradigm to a very successful PSA-only strategy for both broadcast and print, and have watched as the Foundation has enjoyed steady growth in public awareness, brand stabilization, wishes granted, and dollars raised for over ten years.

In this profile, Pacey and his family talk about how a granted wish gives them hope for the future.

HyperActive developed a series of four very intimate stories for Lakeridge’s foundation, designed to help position the hospital complex as very different and far more people-centred than the neighbouring health care facilities in Toronto. This particular example shows how an oncological nurse used the fine old art of knitting as a way to help the less fortunate and give cancer patients and their families a valuable diversion when undergoing the rigours of cancer treatment.

Lakeridge Health is a brand that encompasses hospitals in Oshawa, Whitby, and Port Perry. Lakeridge has radically improved its processes, quality of staff, equipment, and facilities, but is determined to maintain a local, small-town feel in each hospital, offering an alternative to the large mega-hospitals in Toronto.

We filmed a series of four profiles, choosing patients, nurses and doctors to tell individual stories that would paint a collective picture of the hospital’s personality and, in doing so, position the hospital positively to the people of the region.

In this profile, Mary-Kim Marrin describes her journey from respiratory patient to being a Nurse at Lakeridge.

Once upon a time, there was a great local video incubator and stimulator called the "Rogers grant, which provided little slices of money so worthwhile organizations could promote their messaging. In 1995, we got a grant, permission from Irving Berlin's family AND from Warner Chappel Music AND from George Lucas's team (cloud footage) to build this simple piece on climate change whose content was WAY ahead of its time. This piece got tons of airplay.

It's ! Our built some wildly funny custom “germies” who starred in an explainer video about vaccines for Health Canada. We haven’t stopped thinking about them, so our resident wizard built them for real using clay, custom software, black arts rigging, and voodoo. We’re pretty much convinced they’re VIRAL: can we put them to work for you?

This … One of the best campaigns we ever worked on was Health Canada-funded “My Daddy Matters” in 2006, promoting involved fathering and helping men see being dads as “The best job in the world!” One of our very best friends, Mark Gibson, plays a highly creative robot-building dad in one of these. We miss him like crazy, and know his work on this project had a very positive impact across the country, and in Japan, where the spots received great interest.

On behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion, HyperActive created a powerful multimedia show, called the "Poppy Drop”, which has been projected off the 92 metre high Peace Tower and the Centre Block building leading up to Remembrance Day on Parliament Hill. The “Poppy Drop” visually and dramatically represents 117,000 falling poppies for each of the war dead,Thanks to the Royal Canadian Legion for believing in us!

HyperActive was honoured to be chosen as the production company for the Royal Canadian Legion’s special “Two Minutes of Silence” film. Over the course of the year, we have filmed prominent Canadians like Cdr. Chris Hadfield, Gen. Rick Hillier, Michael Bublé, Corey Hart, the Governor General, the Prime Minister, and about twenty others, all of whom appear in juxtaposition with a multi-layered scrolling background that features historical photography from many of the conflicts in which Canadian men and women have served. The film, which is silent, pays homage to armed forces and RCMP members, many of whom paid the ultimate price for the freedom Canadians enjoy.

HyperActive has worked with the Royal Canadian Legion for a number of years to help build their Annual Virtual Wall of Remembrance, in which Canadians send in photos and information of their loved ones who have served, and are no longer with us. In addition to a prominent position on the Legion’s website, the Wall is displayed nightly on Parliament Hill leading up to November 11, and beside the Cenotaph before the Annual Remembrance Day ceremony.
