About the Project

Over the course of months, if not a year, we had the good fortune to film and edit the video following the design and installation journey of Spirit of Water, the beautiful new sculpture in front of the BMO Centre. Imagined and built by renowned international artist Gerry Judah, it has received incredible reviews - which is a win in a world divided by public art. Along with the grandiose shots and film work, it needed a custom piece of music only befitting the sculpture, "Spirit of Water"

The Deets

Over the course of filming, we used a variety of cameras and camera setups. We relied on gimbals, drones, shoulder-mount, and dollies to add movement and unique angles to the film. Color was an important piece as the blue of the sculpture is a bespoke blue color created just for the sculpture.

The Wrap

Aside from visuals, music is what drives the piece. Composed by our own Ryan Northcott, "Spirit of Water" is a cinematic piece with movements that get the heart pumping, but soften when we hear the jury and artists talk about the piece. It's emotional, powerful, and inspirational. "Spirit of Water" is on all streaming platforms - Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music, and more.
