stillmotion is a small team of artists. the photo + cinema team is led by patrick moreau, amina moreau, + justin demers. tatjana head up our graphic design and also acts as our art director. jessica lewington, aka the studio angel, makes sure we show up in the right country at the right time and keeps us all sane.
over the years we have been fortunate enough to shoot weddings from japan to london, as well as work for commercial clients such as the NFL, Canon, IBM, and Tiffen. we believe that a list of accolades tells you much less about what we offer than the impact that our films have on you can. to that end, we decided to forgo that list and instead direct you to our cinema gallery, our website, or our blog. this is the place to find all of the educational events that we will be hosting or be a part of.

1-on-1 private photography workshop
the 'Y' experience 2.0
april 5th-7th - toronto
the question is, why?
stillmotion is hosting an education experience for professional photographers, and building on last year's 'y' experience!.
the workshop will be held over three days in april 2011, on the 5th, 6th, and with a fusion day on the 7thrd.
photographers will leave the workshop with a better understanding of:
-lighting, lens choice: both the technical aspects and the emotive aspects
-ambiance, environment, attitude, and how they contribute to happier couples and a stronger business
-storytelling, post processing, and album design, and how they allow you to create synergy
-adding meaning to your work
we will be touching on the "hows of photography, and discussing various techniques and paths to creating a meaningful story. but we believe that once the "how's" have become second nature, it is the "whys" that are the most impactful questions we can ask.
workshop summary:
april 4th evening - meet & greet
april 5th - the hows and whys
april 6th - the hows and whys
april 7th - integrating photo with cinema - the hows and whys of shooting with HDSLRs)
we'll be asking $1700 per person for the photography portion of the workshop (the 20th, 21st, and 22nd) with an additional $500 for fusion day (the 7th) we are limiting attendance to 12 photographers, much like we limit the number of couples we work with every year, so that we can provide better attention and a better experience overall.
stillmotion will be providing breakfast and lunches during the workshop and will be hosting an evening of hors d'oeuvres on april 4th and a closing dinner on the 7th. we will be recommending a hotel nearby for out-of-towners and arranging for a group rate.
KEEPING YOUR PROMISES.
creating a brand is never an easy task. it's not even a task - it's a long term development, but it needs to start somewhere and this is where stillmotion can help. having created a well-known brand standing in the industry, amongst couples and within the corporate market we have the insight needed to help you create a strong presence as well.
brand consultations hosted by stillmotion involve a one on one session to determine exactly what is happening with your company's positioning and where your strengths and weakness' are. you will be sent a questionnaire to determine where your company's profile is at in terms of naming convention / brand equity / your brand story / the promises you are making with your clients / your advertising strategies / using social media networks / overall look and feel of your designed brand / all marketing collateral and how cohesive it is.
after the questionnaire is completed we schedule a meeting or phone call to discuss the research on your company's competitor analysis and where you need to improve with all the above strategies in place. at that time you will also provide all of your visual communications you send out (branded collateral) to be critiqued. it's an open conversation which means you can pepper us with as many questions to gain a better understanding on branding and how a better positioning is the key to elevating not only your brand but your worth.
a brand consultation requires an investment of $550 CDN
see you then!
