The Bob Guest Story
Bob Guest was 4 yrs old living on a farm. His job was to bring the pillow off the tractor seat into the house at night to keep it dry and then put it on the tractor in the morning. One day, his Dad was using the tractor to create power for a welder and fix a machine. Bob and his sister were playing in the yard when Bob saw the pillow fall off the seat. They raced over and Bob grabbed the pillow. It got caught in the tractor's PTO and his right arm was ripped off. This video re-enacts the event and Bob and his Mother are interviewed about the incident and Bob's life after the accident. It is used in the classroom with K-6 children and also shown to adults.
Technical Features
Two versions of the video - short and long. The short version, which stops after the re-enactment of the arm being torn off, is used in the classroom and the longer version is used at conferences and other demonstrations.

Hairy Canola Meets the Crucifer Flea Beetle
Each year Canadian canola producers spend tens of millions of dollars on chemicals to control flea beetles, diamond back moths and other insects that prey on tender young canola plants. Even with chemical applications, flea beetles still account for more than $250 million in crop damage annually.
But now Saskatoon research scientists may have found the answer - a natural, chemical-free way to curb flea beetle damage and give canola producers a fighting chance. It's called Hairy Canola because it's well remarkably hairy. The amazing thing is that flea beetles hate it.

The Trails of 1885
The Trails of 1885 is a short video that features the numerous events that occurred in the Province of Saskatchewan in 1885. Rather than featuring the Riel rebellion, emphasis was placed on the other events that took place at the time. Throughout this very active year, the Canadian Government increased its control over the North West Territories.
Since the telegraph was an essential communication tool at the time, it was incorporated into the script. The client wanted to have people show the locations in Saskatchewan where the various events took place, so we used a map and provided short commentaries about each event. The commentary came from the perspective of a variety of people including aboriginal, Métis, children, settler, and military.

Campus Recreation Promotion
This short video features all the programs that are offered by Campus recreation to encourage student participation. Campus Recreation wanted a fun, catchy, energetic, and student driven video; after a couple of meetings, we decided to incorporate a trailer-theme based very loosely on ‘The Wrestler’. We started the video with a warning followed by opening similar to 20th Century Fox using the Memorial Gates. The video features one student and some of the main activities and uses text to bring forth the other thirty activities. The video features the many different aspects of Campus Recreation, which include intramurals, learn-to’s, rec clubs, rec fees, sports rep, and help wanted; these are included to demonstrate the wide array of opportunities for student involvement. All this happens, rather amazingly, in under 4 minutes.
