It all began when Jake was 6-years-old when he started making films with his uncle’s video camera. Throw in the fact that he had hamsters as pets all of his life; it was inevitable for Jake to create an epic trilogy about Copain The Hamster and his journey from Paris to Halifax. With a collection of effects-driven shorts, Halifax began taking notice of his specialization with compositing, green screen work, on-set FX direction and motion graphics. Jake was soon snatched up by Hatch Post to shine a light on Halifax in the world of visual effects and the advertising scene.
