We are proud to announce that we have branched off and created a sister company of EXL Films called Cinematic Wedding Films that specializes solely in producing and shooting vivid and elegant wedding videos using the latest cameras, lenses and filmmaking equipment. This Vancouver wedding video company, now located in Surrey BC, tailors to all wedding religions and customs while holding a specialty in wedding videography for the South-Asian community including Sikh, Hindu, Muslim and Gujarati weddings.

The Burnaby Board of Trade WICWP Tour (Welcoming and Inclusive Communities and Workplaces Tour) is meant to connect newcomers who are professionals in their field with industry employers. The goal is to create an open dialogue and discussion about the challenges of finding a job in Canada as an immigrant, but most importantly how they can succeed in finding a job.

Some of the most common advice to newcomers was to learn about the hidden job market through networking. It was not only the newcomers who benefited from this project. Employers were also encouraged to think about hiring a diverse workforce and the benefits that come with that.

Our video production team at EXL Films produced 6 WICWP tour videos which were uploaded to the Burnaby Board of Trade’s blog to present their findings of each tour.

In this video, we visited 3 employers: BCIT, Vancity, and Digital Payment Technologies

As we are in a global economy, we need to think globally; and by employing people with different backgrounds who bring diverse skills, perspectives, and solutions, we are empowering and positively shaping the future of our society.

The WICWP Tour is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.

We shot this event video in Surrey BC featuring the DeDutch Culinary Olympics. The DeDutch Culinary Olympics is an annual event that brings employees together from different DeDutch franchises across the lower-mainland to participate in an evening of fun, friendly competition, and prizes.

We covered the event and produced this video to summarize the entire evening. Near the end of the video we switched gears and ramped up the excitement to reality TV show style

In addition to all the footage shot we also projected the video feed onto a projector for everyone to see.

We recently wrapped a website promotional video for the Canadian Bull Run Rally which is a car rally open to luxury, sports, and exotic vehicles.
Our film team captured shots of 6 vehicles driving from Surrey BC through Vancouver and up to Cypress Mountain. The goal for this production was to establish the excitement and thrill of driving with a group of speed freaks through different Canadian landscapes. Because this video was produced to promote the first ever Canadian Bullrun Rally there was no archival footage to utilize. Our only option was to drive through different locations and capture everything from scratch. The great thing about Vancouver BC is it’s diversity in scenery which enabled us to create the illusion that the video was taken at different locations from past rallies.

Production wise we had two cinematographers shooting this promotional video. We had a chase vehicle which allowed our camera crew to capture many of the driving shots. We also placed our cinematographers in different vehicles to allow for interior driving shots. In addition we mounted portable cameras onto different vehicles to achieve shots that would otherwise not be possible.

In post-production we created impacting motion graphic text to run through the video and deliver key message points. To make the commercial even more powerful we also recorded a movie trailer style voice-over to narrate each motion graphic text as it slams into the screen.

The Canadian Bull Run will take place on July 23rd to July 30th 2011. If you are interested in attending all you need to do is register online at canadianbullrun.com
The rally is open to anyone who loves speed.

We are pleased to present this performance promotional video about Jazz singer and pianist Diane Lines. The goal for her video project was to create an impacting yet classy promotional video that established her performing different songs during different live shows.

We headed over to Empire Stadium to meet up with Terry Dunfield who plays midfield for the Vancouver Whitecaps. His joke was quick but definitely a good one. Even Terry was able to laugh at this own joke afterwards.

We shoot Joke of the Week with the revolutionary steadicam stabilizer and wide angle lenses to get that high budget cinematic look.

A weekly web series production, like Joke of the Week, is an asset to any company or organization because it allows you to connect with your customers and clients on a weekly basis. It also builds company-customer relationships.

By consistently updating weekly content, people who find your web series interesting will likely tune in next week to see more.

EXL Films recently videotaped at the BC Lions headquarters in Surrey BC for another Joke of the Week web series segment for Funny Farm Comedy. Joke of the week is a weekly video special that brings a new joke to your email inbox every week on Monday morning. The purpose is to let you laugh and lighten your mood as you get ready for the Monday morning gruel. Check out the Joke of this episode of Joke of the Week:

For this segment we interviewed Angus Reid who plays center position for the BC Lions. Enjoy this joke and remember, if you want a good laugh at the beginning of every week, subscribe to Joke of the Week at funnyfarmcomedy.ca
