Hybrid Media YXE

Hybrid Media YXE A new small digital marketing agency by two guys with a passion for visual storytelling We noticed a big problem in the world of social media services. Haha.

Hybrid Media is a Content Creation business with a focus on value and affordability. Most "Social Media Agencies" offer very little return for a hefty price. Prices north of $2000 per month for basic services seems to be the industry norm. This can be a massive investment for solo entrepreneurs or small businesses. The high cost and low value Agency Model is not something we support. There has to

be a return on investment for our clients. While there are several ways to quantify your “ROI”, whether it’s leads (follows, email list) or direct sales (promos or website funnels), it should generally result in profit increase for the client. That’s what makes it an investment. Otherwise it’s just a cost.��

Obviously profit is important to every business. Including ours. Big surprise! However, our profit doesn't come from charging our clients more. Our experience in the creative industry has given us a very unique advantage. Efficiency. We can create more content, in less time, without a loss in quality. When we save time our clients get more value for their dollar. There is no reason for content creation and social media management to drain your bank accounts. Marketing should be a tool to expand your wealth.

��Our content creation and social media management services ARE AFFORDABLE for all Saskatoon businesses. Whether that's the solo entrepreneur or a small to medium sized business looking to create awareness around their brand. Our affordability provides our clients more room to invest in other areas of their marketing journey. ��

We understand Social Media Agencies have a bad reputation. Our goal is to restore that broken trust. One client relationship at a time. Hybrid Media YXE was created to help Small Businesses win. Our clients are our MVP's. We take pride in their victory.

2.5 years ago, 3 days after we met, 1000km away from home and moments away from the morning coffee discussion that started Hybrid Media. This photo is a place holder for that moment.

It’s a good reminder to me (Nathan 🙋‍♂️) that opportunities come from the most unexpected places sometimes.

Without this mountain view, the crisp early morning air and a good coffee, who knows if Hybrid Media would exist?

If you remember the moment something good in your life began, comment below! 💬 I’d love to learn about it. 😁

Ever wonder what the difference is between F-stops and T-stops? Both relate to your lens’s aperture, but they serve different purposes.

F-stops measure the aperture size, showing how much light the lens theoretically lets in. However, they don’t account for light loss inside the lens.

On the other hand, T-stops tell you the actual amount of light reaching your camera sensor, making them more accurate for exposure—especially in video work. 🎥

Knowing the difference can help you choose the correct settings for your shoot! Need more tips? Comment below with your questions! 👇📩

Do you know what weather-sealed means? 🌧️📸

Weather-sealed, or weatherproof, camera equipment is designed to resist environmental elements like dust, moisture, and even light rain.

This doesn't mean your gear is waterproof, but rather that it's better protected when shooting in challenging conditions. 🌦️

What does it involve? Weather-sealed cameras and lenses typically have rubber gaskets around buttons, dials, and other entry points, as well as seals on the lens mount.

These features help keep out dust and moisture, allowing you to shoot in less-than-ideal weather without worrying about damaging your equipment. 🌬️🔧

Why is it important? Weather-sealed gear gives you peace of mind if you often shoot outdoors—whether in the rain, snow, or dusty environments.

It ensures that your camera and lens can handle the elements, letting you focus on capturing the perfect shot without worrying about your gear. ❄️📷

Exploring vintage lenses can add a unique touch to your photography, but they have pros and cons.

Advantages:

- Unique character: Vintage lenses offer distinct bokeh, colour rendition, and flare that modern lenses can’t replicate, adding an artistic feel to your photos. 🎨

- Affordable quality: These lenses often provide high-quality glass at a fraction of the cost of modern lenses, offering sharp images without breaking the bank. 💰

- Manual control: Using vintage lenses encourages you to slow down and focus manually, leading to more deliberate and well-composed shots. 🎯

Disadvantages:

- Lack of autofocus: Most vintage lenses lack autofocus, which can be challenging in fast-paced environments or for beginners. 🛑

- Compatibility issues: Adapters are often needed to fit vintage lenses on modern cameras, and not all features may work seamlessly. ⚙

These filters gradually transition from clear to dark, allowing you to control the light in specific areas of your shot.

For instance, they’re perfect for managing bright skies and maintaining detail in landscapes, helping to prevent overexposed skies while keeping the foreground well-lit. 🌄

By applying a gradient filter, you can achieve a more balanced exposure and capture stunning, dynamic shots.

Curious about how to use gradient filters effectively? DM us for tips and tricks!

Choosing your first camera can be exciting yet overwhelming. Here are some essential tips:

Determine your needs: Consider whether you'll use the camera for photography, videography, or both.

- Choose the right type: DSLRs and mirrorless cameras are great for beginners. DSLRs offer versatility, while mirrorless cameras are compact and lightweight.

- Check megapixels and sensor size: More megapixels mean more detail, but a larger sensor improves image quality, especially in low light.

- Consider budget and accessories: Stick to your budget, but remember to factor in lenses, memory cards, and a camera bag.

- Read reviews and test models: Research different models read user reviews, and try out cameras in-store if possible.

Are tripods useful? Absolutely! 🎥📸

Tripods are an essential tool for photographers and videographers alike.

They provide stability, crucial for capturing sharp images, especially in low-light conditions or when using long exposure times. 🕰️✨

Whether you’re shooting landscapes, portraits, or even videos, a tripod helps eliminate camera shake, ensuring your shots are clear and professional-looking.

Tripods are also perfect for time-lapse photography and when you need to frame a shot precisely. Plus, they allow you to experiment with creative angles and compositions that would be difficult to achieve handheld. 🎯

In short, tripods are invaluable for anyone serious about content creation.

They help you achieve higher quality, consistency, and creativity in your work. Need help choosing the right tripod? DM us for expert advice! 📩

When it comes to capturing stunning photos, ISO can play a crucial role! 🎯 Keeping your ISO low is one way to maintain image clarity and reduces unwanted noise, giving you sharp, high-quality shots, especially in well-lit settings. 🌞✨

It's important to remember that ISO is just another tool. Sometimes you have to sacrifice fine detail by increasing the ISO to maintain a fast enough shutter speed while shooting hand held or moving subjects. The only things worse than a noisy image is the image you didn't get because your shutter speed was to slow for the shooting conditions.

Some cameras have something called "Dual Native ISO". For example, that may be ISO 100 and 2000. This means the noise in your image would increase gradually as you approached ISO 2000. Once you get to ISO 2000 you'll experience a major noise reduction because that is also a native (low distortion) ISO setting.

If your still a little confused about how ISO functions on your camera feel free to send us a message! We would be very happy to help you troubleshoot. 😁

The ride home is always bittersweet.

The buildup to each is great. The scouting trips are always a blast and knowing what's coming for everyone that is participating is exciting. Watching everyone laugh and interact with each other, hearing how much they enjoyed certain checkpoints, and don't even get us started on the food😋.

One thing we've talked about on previous runs but we definitely solidified this year is, it's not about the cars...sounds strange, but it's 100% true. It's the people, the community, and everyone involved. They just happen to drive nice cars. There's no ego/attitude around who drives what, what it looks like, or brand bashing. I mean, there's always beaking and friendly rivalry, but that's all part of the fun. Everyone is welcome and respected and it's an incredible group of humans.

Big shout out to who busts his ass over a year in advance of every . The community is what drives this thing and it's Kurt's vision and what he puts out that makes it work. Making sure every participant has the best possible time is top priority and it shows.

We crushed it again this year. We'll do it again next year.

If you watch Peter McKinnon's video "The Mountains Won't Remember Me" you'll get a deeper sense of what it feels like to do what we get to do in a place we love doing it.

Really cool moment on our way back from the . We came across a legitimate cinema rig on the highway and had to take a roller just before Revelstoke. 😎

We stopped for a brief chat with Derek (owner of ) and learned he is responsible for filming some of The Last of Us. The just wrapped up another season in BC.

Derek was super cool about everything and let us be fan boys while we snagged a roller of his Tundra Cinema Crane.

Check out ! They do some really cool stuff. 👌

If you’re serious about photography, investing in a battery grip might just be a game-changer! A battery grip doubles your camera’s battery life, allowing you to shoot longer without interruptions, and provides better handling, especially for vertical shots. 📷👍

The extra grip gives you stability, reducing camera shake and helping you capture sharper images.

It’s beneficial for long shoots, events, or when you’re on the go and can’t afford to run out of power. 💪

So, is it worth it? If you need more power and improved ergonomics for your camera.

Are you considering a battery grip for your setup? DM us for advice on choosing the right one! 📩
