Why? Because every time he showed up I was blasting music. The name stuck and my friends lovingly called me Jam Jam from that day forward. I relate to the name because of the jam format of skateboard contests, musicians collaborating and hey Bob said &#8220;we&#8217;re jammin&#8221;. So let it be, Jam Jam Productions was born.<\/p>\n<p>Over 26 years ago I trained as a Graphic Designer (graduating w\/ honours), to get into a post diploma Video Production program. That began my &#8220;official&#8221; journey as a Communication Artist. Design became invaluable as it taught me composition, typography, contrast and effective communication through visuals. All apply to Film Production. I&#8217;ve had a camera in my hands since I was a young skater at 13. When I got older surpassing my own sponsorships I worked as a camera operator, documenting Canada&#8217;s premiere talent. Countless athletes have received their first sponsorships then continued on to professional status, because of our work together. It&#8217;s always been my real passion and has given me everything. My shots and edits have been featured on Much Music\/Music Plus (The Under Attack Show), national and international TV networks (RideGuide TV) and many many core videos. In 2011 I was the first to release online, part by part, a 2hr skateboard film called slice life: streets are watching. This is now common practice.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the years clients like Airmiles, Blackberry, the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and Canada Post have taught me to be on time and deliver quality work. I&#8217;ve also partnered with emerging artists from every background to foster a continued education while passing down knowledge. I want people to succeed. My job is to help them get there because individuals took a chance on me.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I have worked as a Production Coordinator (3+ yrs) and started my journey as a Manager in early 2020. Don&#8217;t worry, I started at the bottom, picking up garbage and driving trucks. Many crews have trained me up the ranks to where I am now. I&#8217;m grateful for their support also. I value my PAs and respect them. If there&#8217;s a problem we fix it.<\/p>\n<p>A small studio in North Vancouver is where I live stream DJ sets, edit and produce videos to stay sharp. With an ever growing kit to effectively stream our Commercial Film Productions to the Client, Agency &#038; Director in this new environment.<\/p>\n<p>I love my job. If you want a calm, no BS, supporter of equal opportunities, experienced crew member on your team&#8230; Let&#8217;s work together.<\/p>\n<p>Jam Jam Productions List of Services:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Production Manager<br \/>\n&#8211; Talent Coordinator<br \/>\n&#8211; Streaming Tech<br \/>\n&#8211; Light Studies<br \/>\n&#8211; Camera Operator<br \/>\n&#8211; Editor<br \/>\n&#8211; Set DJ<br \/>\n&#8211; Graphic Designer<br \/>\n&#8211; Photographer<br \/>\n&#8211; Skateboard\/Snowboard Specialist &#038; Talent Recruiter<br \/>\n&#8211; Mobile Internet &#038; Wifi Rentals<br \/>\n&#8211; Recording Engineer (Training)<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to request samples of work, resum\u00e9 and references.
