Automobile Imagery - Canada / USA
We've worked for the best in the business in the past - and now, we've got a full car studio, incredible lighting - and an outdoor playground that many would simply die for.
The best thing of all? Our overhead - just a fraction of those downtown Detroit studios! We've got massive rip-stop nylon walls, 100,000 watts of power, full radio slaves on all lights along with tethered images powering beautiful 40" monitors for tech-side and photographer...
Our studios are for rent if you prefer a photographer as well! Studio costs are just around a $1,000 a day, and our photographer and assistant both come with the package!

Outdoor Lodge Business - Gaining a strong foothold on the Chicago Fish/Hunt Markets
One of the client's most valuable areas for attracting and retaining business is known to be Chicago. During a four year blitz period, a thrust was delivered on radio, television, newspaper, press releases, fam trips - and more! All of these thrusts were delivered into the Chicago market. Read the plan highlights here.
In this image, one of our larger supporters Big Sand Lake Lodge is captured on film for use in the Chicago markets later on. Click here to see that usage (a 40'x20' giant billboard at the airport at Ohara as well downtown)

Outdoor Lodge Business - selling more trips to our clients' clients.
Palmer: "Another kind of cool concept. The idea here is that Doctors in the "Just for Canadian Doctors" magazine would receive our piece within the magazine as an inside the cover insert.
Once they opened up the magazine, it would of course fall out and onto the floor. They'd pick it up and see this cover, and then, open it up to reveal this.
This of course fit very well with our "catch and release" program for fish management, and also provided a little humour along the way. In total, we received about 75 enquiries for this program from this ad - which we ran 3 times.

Industrial image - selling more heaters to our clients' clients.
Palmer: "Now this one was fun. Called the client and explained what we wanted to do - have a "driller" all bundled up, has lit himself a fire in the shack, has every heater running at 100% with fans blowing on him and still - he lay in the fetal position frozen to the point of not functioning"
The client said of course - no way - so we went ahead and did it anyway. We own the studio, so it doesn't cost a nickel to try and innovate each and every time we shoot...
Brought it to the client, they loved it - done!
