Swoop brings families together by offering affordable flights. One dream came true for the Kryk family who was long overdue for a family reunion. Oliver Agency and Swoop flew 20 family members across Canada to Las Vegas as a surprise. Jump came onboard for the edit, color grade and finishing on this project. Footage was captured over a 2 day period and Jump fired up the engines to work overtime and deliver teasers and a 2 minute feature to meet the deadline.
As Jump Studios continues to break new ground in the world of motion graphics, animation, 3D, and color grading, we are proud to announce General Manager, Jennifer Avis, has come on as Partner. She joins Jeff August and Brian Vos as a Director of the Calgary based post-production company.
Jennifer brings with her 25 years’ experience in the media industry having worked in broadcast journalism, publicity, film and television production, and post-production. “I’m excited about Jump’s future and what our team is creating together. We’ve invested in new technology and staff with diverse skill sets. I’m amazed every day at what our small but mighty group produces,” says Avis. Creative Director, Jeff August, concurs, “We share a similar vision. Jennifer and I want to push the boundaries on what’s possible both creatively and with the business. We come at it from different places, and that will only make us stronger.”
Founding Partner, Brian Vos, is putting stock in that strength. “It was the next logical step in Jump’s evolution,” he says. “Things are looking bright both professionally and personally,” Vos adds. Transitioning into a new role focusing solely on the financial end of the business means less time in the office for the veteran of the Alberta media industry. “It has been 40 years and I’m ready to take a step back … but I will always be close by,” he says with a smile. “Building a legacy has always been one of my main goals and it was the right time to bring on Jennifer as GM and Partner.”
While Brian focuses on business affairs, Jennifer will manage day-to-day operations and Jeff will oversee creative and technology. The new Managing Partners, Jennifer and Jeff, will continue to cultivate all of Jump’s local, national and international client relationships.
