It may not be my home town but for most of the people in my life it sure is. Spent many a summers in Thunder Bay … sauna, swim, beer, sauna, swim, beer followed by a Hoito breakfast with the family the following morning. It really doesn’t get much better.

Saw this music video on YouTube about T. Bay … I’ve always said that Thunder Bay would be a fantastic place to film pretty much anything.

Nice work buddy …

Well, it’s been a very exciting & eventful year so far here at the Lux Visual Effects studio.  Between all the staff there’s a total of three weddings & four babies! Crazy.  Personal developments aside, there’s also a lot of constructive growth & change underway.  Scott Parker is our new ‘go to’ Director of Sales & with that comes some beautiful new marketing & packaging collatoral which features a new “Lux logo”, business card brand, & motion graphics demo reel!  It’s all in the works so stay tuned …

PS – Happy Autumn!

You know, I can’t figure out if this is just really disturbing or has hilarity written all over it. Let me know what you think.

Most offspring connected with Lux VFX seem to have that childhood admiration for  Johnny Cash. I would love to see that admiration for the Man in Black become the talent that this kid shows in emulating the king of twang. Have a look/listen!

Broken Social Scene

Broken Social Scene

Bruce McDonald, of Hard Core Logo fame, is partnering up with musicians again. This time around, it’s those famous indie-kids from Toronto,  Broken Social Scene. However, Bruce is asking for your help. Yes, the film will be entirely put together fan footage that can be uploaded at www.thismovieisbroken.com.

So, if you happen to be catching B.S.S. live this summer, which I highly recommend, be sure to bring any type of filming device you can think of.
