Tomorrow morning I take off for Toronto for the Profusion conference. ProFusion is a 2-day event filled with cutting-edge seminars & training sessions with industry experts, Keynote speakers, and a one-of-a-kind Product Demonstration Theatre. There aim is to create the most dynamic, technologically-advanced Pro Video event in Canada.

As for my trip, it is jam packed with things to do. I arrive in Toronto at 4pm — with my hotel only 5 minutes away from the conference center. As soon as I arrive, I will be rushing to my hotel and then back to the airport district for the Toronto meet-up with Philip Bloom and Tej Babra. I am sure it will be a late night of filming.

Thursday I am hoping to meet up with Tahirih Vejdani to shoot her music video and then a 3 Minute Short with the things she likes about Toronto. Friday and Saturday are set aside for the conference. Each of these days I am hoping to get my fill of filming — capturing timelapses from my hotel room.

I leave for Montreal on Sunday and will be spending my time both there and Québec city filming the shorts. I will be taking the train from Toronto to Montreal but will have to bus it back as the G20 Summit is on at the same time — restricting trains back to Toronto. While in Montreal, I am hoping everything goes well filming wise as I have been told that you need a permit to film (same as everywhere else) and enforce this. We will see how it goes!

I will be posting from Toronto and Montreal — both 3 Minute Shorts as well as my experiences of my trip on this site. I have my hands on 4 cameras for this trip — The HVX200, Nikon D80, Canon 7D, and Canon 5D. Anything I learn in regards to workflow or special techniques will show up on both sites under Production Tests and Camera Tests.

3 Minute Shorts

Ever wonder what it would be like to shoot a 3 minute short film everyday? My goal — perfect my abilities as a filmmaker. No matter what you do, the more you do it, the better you will get at it. I decided to see how my work would evolve when dedicated to the art of film-making for 365 consecutive days.
