The pearls of Mutiara (Indonesia)

Here is some of our first work. We traveled across the globe in a desolated little island where an oyster aqua culture farm had been built. It was a fascinating short story to be told, and we did.

Roll out the waves (Nova Scotia)

Nova Scotia has tons of secret spots where waves will roll intensely onto shore. We had a great chance to film some good surfing for a couple of hours and we were able to create a small clip that was shown and appreciated in a local surfing shop and during a surf film festival.

Yarmouth Blues (Nova Scotia)

Filming blue sharks in the wild is quite an experience. The catch-and-release  fishing was unique. We are already planning a cage for future shots to enhance the viewers' experience. We like to work in the water, we like to give you the sensation of being there.

Lunenburg Observing Buoys (Nova Scotia)

This footage was shown at conferences and workshops for visual display to help researchers during their presentation of the Centre for Marine Environmental Prediction. Topside and underwater footage of the various buoys during their deployment and retrieval was a great asset for the audience and well appreciated by the funding organizations.

Instructional video for Satlantic instruments (Nova Scotia)

Satlantic was in need of an easy audio-visual manual for some instruments they were shipping to Kuwait. We provided a simple solution that was well appreciated abroad. From DVD to web-base footage, UTBP can come up with a solution that will fit your needs and budget.

Working in the Dead Zone (Louisiana)

Footage of Nancy Rabalais and her research team working on the hypoxic zone off the Louisiana coast has been around the world. Following researchers in their labs and down to the bottom of the ocean where the work sometime takes place has created some exceptional footage that provides audiovisual support for media coverage to conferences.
