heavyGFILMS
leant production support and cinematographer Glen Powell to Taxi advertising for this spot in support of Canadian Tire's children's charity 'Jumpstart'.
The spot was to introduce their NHL Playoff's - 'Playoff Payoff'


Sobeys

Sobeys grocery store was looking for a way to tie their 'Inspired' magazine to a much more interactive web presence - Through our Le Gourmet TV brand we created an online video cooking school that syndicates their recipe content to many websites. These sites target consumers who are looking for food and recipe content.

These videos coincide with the stories and recipes that are found in the quarterly Inspired magazine, and have found a real online audience.

King Cole Duck

Duck... It's regarded as a whole bunch of things that it isn't (fatty, hard to cook, 'ethnic'), and usually only makes an appearance on the Holiday table.
King Cole wants to change all that. We worked with them to create an initial 14 part cooking series that shows how easy it is to cook with duck - even on a weeknight. All of the recipe videos feature a companion video piece where we match the dish with wine.
These videos will be seen on the King Cole website / Youtube channel, as well as getting wide syndication through
Le Gourmet TV and all of their partner websites. These were shot over a day in the heavyGFILMS Kitchen Studio.

Foodland Ontario

We recently shot a 9 webisode series of 'how-to' recipe videos showing consumers the wealth of local Ontario produce that you can find in your grocery store. Host Emily Richards leads these laid back - yet engaging and informative videos that give easy and tasty recipes using the best that Ontario farmers have to offer.

This series was co-branded with
Le Gourmet TV (where they will play) giving a 3rd party endorsement to the message of eat well and eat local. The video will also be syndicated out to a myriad of other websites; in fact if you Google "Foodland Ontario" these are now the top video hits.

Vice

Vice Icewine Martini launched the worlds first one pour Icewine / Vodka Martini at Toronto's ultra exclusive One restaurant in Yorkville.
Ange Aiello of iYellow Wine Group hosts the launch and she interviews sommeliers and the president of Vineland Estates Winery who produce this premium product from their own Icewine.

heavyGFILMS produced a short video of the event, and then through our distribution partners pushed the finished video out to the web. At last count the video can be seen on over 70 websites and blogs, accounting for ever growing viewership numbers.
This has proved to be a low cost way for Vineland Estates Winery to get critical social media exposure of this new product launch.
