The first cut of the Buffalo Spot is just about done. Working on this edit has been a definate challenge for the team. We are trying to give the commercial it's own voice but stay in keeping with the Buffalo spirit... which is a tricky thing to pull off. Here's a screen cat to wet your appetite.
Well it's finally done. The Atomic Clock redesigned and upgraded site is complete. The new site is made specially for you!

The shoot for the new Buffalo - David Bitton Ad Campaign went incredibly. We shot in Le Studio right in the heart of Montreal. Grant can't say enough about the graciousness of both Leda & St. Jacques who couldn't have been better hosts. Also Buffalo's Marketing Director Olivia Bitton was fantastic to work with whose vision for the new campaign was a breath of fresh air. Special thanks to Priscille Danton and Yannick Pierrehumbert for all you help.
