JLeaver Presentations: A History

JLeaver Presentations began when Jason Leaver was still in high school. Knowing Jason's aptitude for video technology, people started asking if he could make videos for them. They would become his first clients.

Since 1993 the goal has remained the same: creating video presentations for clients who have a message they want to express in a creative and fun way.

Nobody enjoys watching your typical corporate video. Jason's background in filmmaking gives a filmic edge to corporate, industrial, promotional, and training videos. Each project is treated as a film; a story to be told that entertains and enlightens the audience.

Thanks to the digital revolution, projects are shot, edited and mastered within the digital realm, thereby retaining the highest professional quality upon delivery.

Projects range from simple video messages to complex graphic treatments. Working essentially as a one-person-operation, costs are kept down and the flow of creativity consistent. Jason works closely with the client measuring their input and feedback to generate a final product that suits their needs.

Jason Leaver studied Film at Ryerson Polytechnic University, graduating in 2001 with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts. In 2004 he was awarded "Best Technical Production" in the annual Toronto One Minute Film Festival for the film Duplication Violation. Also in 2004, the film Steep Decision (co-directed by Shawn Willings) placed third out of forty in the annual 2880 Minute Film Challenge in the Port Townsend Film Festival in Washington.
