Panasonic “Saves the Day” at Masterpiece Retirement
Panasonic was looking for a way to showcase the use of their technology in a high-end retirement facility. The facility is near Calgary and Lethbridge, Alberta. Their marketing agency then determined video would be the best way to do this. Thus, we created a case study video for use in business-to-business sales. Case study videos can also be an amazing tool. This is because they show potential clients the value of a product such as this. It also shows the benefits the video can have to an organization.

Litwiniuk and Company
Litwiniuk & Company hired Symbol Syndication to produce a 40-second video. The goal was to introduce them at a company culture awards gala.

A big thanks to Hummingbird Studios for creating the music.

Ninja Warrior Parkour
Check out Max Henry’s (our main Ninja) Free Guide to Parkour: https://www.parkourroadmap.com.
There have been many gimmick-filled parkour videos over the last few years. This has started since Devinsupertramp released his Assassin’s Creed in Real Life video. We even made one, Deadpool Parkour in Real Life which was, from a vitality standpoint, a major hit. Generally, the parkour community disregards these videos due to a lack of “real” parkour. In Ninja Warrior Parkour we sought to change that (and maybe playoff the American Ninja Warrior craze a little). We brought in Max Henry from New York to be our main ninja and tried to even have a small element of a storyline around the video.
The Harvest Haven Store – Take Two
Being our first client, we are excited to see Harvest Haven finally open their new store after starting construction on it 11 years ago.

Also, they use local Calgary ingredients in their homemade recipes. They strive to maintain the same freshness and quality that has become the standard for over 35 years. We enjoyed shooting and eating while making this captivating video for them.

The Deadpool parkour and freerunning in real life video was by far the most creative and unique video to date. Viral by design, you can also see the results of our effort in the over 1.4 million views this video has received. Additionally, we shot this video in downtown Calgary.
You can see the behind-the-scenes on our blog.
