July 30th, 2015 - Tony Todd bears his soul
Thanks to Richard of Naked Ape studios, our work on the Calgary Expo videos earned JimberJam some media badges for Vulcan Alberta's VulCon 2015 conference.
At this conference, the wonderful actor Tony Todd shared a touching moment with us when we asked him about the deeply emotional episode of Star Trek DS9 he starred in, called "The Visitor".
I thought to ask this question because of Dan Gunther (of Trek Lit Reviews, writer for Trek Core, co-host of the Literary Treks podcast, and all-around awesome guy), whose admiration for the episode knows no bounds.

May 22nd, 2015 - An Unofficial #CalgaryExpo F.A.Q
Inspired by my boss Chris, (and co-workers like Rick and Cary in prior years also) I decided to capture answers that non-expo-goers have about conventions, answered by actual attendees.
It wound up being pretty comprehensive, and - I hope - a useful video for folks looking for the answers to the same questions.
May 19th, 2015 - A #CalgaryExpo costume montage!
Having about 75 cosplay clips as extra B-Roll for an interview video coming out later this week, I decided to slop it all together to make a montage video of the 2015 Calgary Comic and Entertainment expo.
Also, I just enjoy the word 'montage'.
March 15th, 2015 - Movie Review Show
"Kingsman: The Secret Service" Review (with Trevor)
As far back as I can remember, Trevor and I have always wanted to do movie reviews for people like us.
At 14 years old, we wanted to see a "Siskel & Ebert" type show, aimed at our demographic. (And maybe that would play between episodes of the 90s "Spiderman" and "Batman: The Animated Series")
Well, over 15 years later; We've realize our childhood dream! We hope you enjoy.
February 13th, 2015 - A vlog about knowing when we're ready!
Some thoughts were spurred by some quotes I read, and some reflection about the posted short film; and they turned into this Vlog.
Link here : Link
This was also the first video shot on our new Panasonic GH4, and our first video with the new intro, and our first video in 4K.
February 1st, 2015 - REST - Our first (very) short film.
Part labor of love, part catharsis of being totally burnt-out... a script that is half short-film, half thoughts-from-places-vlog, and part reflective-video-diary.... REST was shakily smattered into existence.

October 26th, 2014 - Random Coffee Videos (Editing Test)
Just for fun, two edits were done with (almost) the same footage, mostly as an experiment to see how editing style and music can alter a video.
Take a look for yourself!

Expanding skills at After Effects, and trying our hand at cartoon animation, an attempt was made to animate Panimated's fan art of the Hello Internet podcast, hosted by CGP Grey and Brady Haran.
