Here is a video we created for the St. Albert Sports Academy. It not only features former Team Canada World Jr champions and former NHL’ers,  Rob Brown and Chris Joseph, but also has some cameos from my 12 year old son who is in the academy.  This was a fun project to produce and a great program for athletic students.

Here is a video we produced for Sherwood Park Sports Physiotherapy. Our client wanted the video to be very visual and energetic, so I decided to use two shooters and called in Tyler Bliss as my secondary shooter and Director of Photography. Tyler got some amazing shots with his DSLR and slider to create some very cool motion while I focused on a lot of wide shots and handled the interviews. The video was all shot in 2 hours and edited in a day and a half. Very cost efficient as well as effective.   As we move forward with more and more need for social media, we at DMB Video want to remain true to our mission statement:
DMB Video Productions serves our clients communication needs by producing technically sound videos with creative content at a reasonable price.

Here is a 60 second spot we produced for Blu’s Womens Wear.  These are beautiful shearling coats, the only problem with them is now my wife wants one for Christmas.  I’m not sure what to think when my own work engages me and makes me want to buy, do or see my clients products .

Here is another media call for the Citadel Theatre. Once again, this is single camera coverage and its one scene shot twice and then carefully edited to look like two cameras and one take.  I shoot these videos for the Citadel to provide raw material for any media that requests it.  I also edit my footage and create a trailer to place on the Citadels website and social media pages. This video had over 2000 views in the first few hours of being posted. I love it when I see my clients get such fast results and they still havn’t even tweeted or posted it to their Facebook page yet. Once they do, I imagine it will create another one or two thousand views within a few short hours. The views have a direct impact on increased ticket sales as well as creating new Facebook fans and Twitter followers, and that is the true beauty of social media.

One of the projects I am working on this year is a promotional video for the St Albert Sports Academy. This gave me the reason I needed to buy a Go Pro Hero camera for myself work. The Go Pro is a very small and affordable HD camera that allows you to capture some otherwise imposable moments from a very cool perspective.  I bought it primarily to place on hockey helmets and  the goalie masks for the sports academy video  but I also plan on incorporating it into other projects by mounting it on vehicles or putting it in tight spots where a camera person wouldn’t be able to fit or it would be too dangerous to shot from. Before taking it out on any professional shoots, I needed to test what this camera was able to do so I took it with us on our summer family vacation. The following video was made using only the GO Pro and some of it was even shot by my 5 year old girl. I call it

Sail – a family vacation

I made two promotional videos for MH Vicars School of Massage. The videos are aimed at potential students who are interested in massage therapy. The first one is Bree’s story, a former photographer who desired a change in her life.  The second one is Jordan’s story. Jordan was a former golf pro who decided to return to school and focus on massage therapy.

Alexandre Dumas’ classic swashbuckling adventure bursts onto our stage in this thrilling new adaptation by Tom Wood. Experience the camaraderie, romance and intrigue of a true epic filled with treachery, passion and courage in the face of explosive action.

I am really grateful for not only being able to make a living doing what I love to do but also for all the appreciation I receive from my clients.  The following letter came today from the City Of St.Albert:

“Working with David Mathew Bonner Productions has been a great experience.

David struck an effective balance between being professional yet creative. He was able to take our small idea and turn it into a big screen reality, all in an extremely short time-frame. Above all, he was able to put the video subjects at ease and capture the essence of their messages. David’s suggestions and insights throughout the process evolved into a product that was spot on for our needs: classy, humorous, and meaningful.

It was a pleasure working with David, and I would highly recommend his video production services.”

Laura Bragg, The City of St. Albert

Thank you to all my clients. I sincerely appreciate the opportunities and have enjoyed my time working with all of you.
