Canal Days Concerts 2011

PPI takes great pride in developing Port Colborne’s yearly Canal Days TV commercial campaign.  The 2011 commercials comprised two versions, one featuring the concert line up and the other geared more to families.  Both commercials are packed with power and robust HD imagery capturing the experience of being at one of the most exciting festivals in Canada.

The City of Port Colborne certainly knows how to throw a party and working closely with its highly capable special events staff, together we have over the years seen growth in festival attendance soar to hundreds of thousands.  Thank you Port Colborne.

Canal Days Family 2011

The Family version of 2011 Canal Days is designed to high-light the many offerings
visitors can expect to find in Port Colborne, during the festival or anytime.

From mouth watering international culinary to history, fine art and bike trails and from beautiful sand beaches to first class theatre and entertainment, Port Colborne has it all.

Excalibur Crossbow

Pacific Productions has had a long standing schedule of service to Excalibur Crossbow.  Bill and Kath Troubridge have designed and manufactured arguably the best crossbow products currently on the market.  Being a long standing archery enthusiast myself I found it very natural and inspiring to step into my producer’s shoes on the TV commercials and DVD product catalogue we created for them.

The catalogue was produced in both English and French languages.  Seen here is TV commercial #2 “It Works Here” edited in part with factory footage we filmed for the catalogue and outdoor footage we captured of Mark Feiertag braving the worst late fall weather imaginable to emphasize the reliability of these bows in adverse conditions.

We take a great deal of pride knowing we have been an integral part of the fast growth in Excalibur’s sales throughout the United States.

Flavours of Niagara

Our mission was to create a TV commercial for Port Colborne’s first ever Food and Wine festival.  Drawing from our library footage we utilized generic festival clips and combined these with a tongue in cheek studio sequence with help from our writer James Backshall and marketing manager Kim Hall.  Voiced by Jack Peets and Lori Walsh we all had a lot of fun putting this one together.

Welland Rose Festival

Jeff Ward and his dynamic staff at Welland Rose Festival headquarters invited PPI to produce this 30 second TV spot to promote this long standing festival’s return. 

Celebrating its 50th anniversary Jeff asked us to incorporate historic footage with a splashy bright and colourful concept.  Utilizing real roses filmed in HD and footage from our library we assembled this effervescent portrayal of the exciting festival events.

Thanks Jeff!

Ridgeway By The Lake

This is our second TV commercial for Blythwood Homes.  Having completed a trilogy of Ridgeway by the Lake web videos (also displayed on this site) we were asked to condense the multiple offerings of this development into a value packed 30 second spot. 

The commercial targeted Greater Toronto Area retirees looking to down size and live in a tranquil community setting where a healthy lifestyle is the order of the day. Ridgeway by the Lake is nothing short of this and so much more. Thanks to the ever charming Kerry B. an RBTL resident for her legendary line “Got it...Love it!
