Business > Canada’s Outstanding CEO Of The Year

Team Adrenaline has worked in the boardrooms and homes of the very top of the Canadian Business community producing the video profiles for “Canada’s Outstanding CEO of the Year” for the past 12 years. These profiles are shot on location, to ensure the comfort of all involved. In addition Team Adrenaline Executive Producer Gordon James directed the first 6 years of “Canada’s Top 40 Under 40”. He has produced a major live presentation to the employees of Rogers Cable using a 50 cube video wall, 4 video sources and live speaker support. The show travelled across Canada and was so popular an encore presentation was requested by Rogers management. When at CTV Gordon produced numerous Fall Launch, Olympic Launch and a major press conference announcing the CTV Broadcast deal with the NBA, and the Toronto arm of the international press conference announcing the release of “The Beatles Anthology” featuring Sir George Martin.

Not For Profit > The Canadian Centre for Diversity

Produced for The Canadian Council of Christians and Jews (now also known as The Canadian Centre for Diversity) these films premiered in the fall of 2006 at the star studded 59th Annual Awards Dinner held at the Royal York, Toronto. The honoured guests and recipients of the Human Relations Award were Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan as well as Linda Frum and Howard Sokolowski.

The films were shot in High Definition by DOP Bongo Kolycius and featured three diverse forms of dance, ballet, tap and hip hop. Choreographed to an original world beat track composed by Tim Thorney of Tattoo Music, our dancers provided a visual metaphor for diversity, learning and harmony. Intercut with the dance footage were compelling interviews of students who had enriched their lives by participating in various Canadian Centre for Diversity programs.
