Moodboard & Lookbook Creation

Here is how the work lines up. Moodboard creation in Canada draws on a deep bench of Canadian DPs and production designers whose visual feel has shaped how global viewers imagine the country. Roger Deakins' Alberta exteriors in Sicario and Brokeback Mountain inform any big-sky Alberta or BC interior shoot; Edward Lachman's gritty urbanism and André Turpin's Xavier Dolan collaborations in Montreal define a particular Quebec sensibility around tight framing and saturated emotional palettes; Doug Koch's lineage with David Cronenberg in Toronto carries a colder, almost clinical Ontario register that producers reach for when the script asks for unease.

We translate those references into concrete palette and lighting sheets — Vancouver's wet teal and cyan registers off rain-slick asphalt and PNW cloud, Toronto's urban tungsten through downtown winter low-sun, Montreal's historic-stone neutral around the Old Port, Quebec winter slate-blue across the Laurentians, Calgary's big-sky open frame, and the high-key Aurora night palette exact to Yukon and NWT shoots.

Auteur-led references are paired with location-grounded image research rather than stock-photo aggregation. Denis Villeneuve's Quebec films and the Dune Part Two visual vocabulary inform desert-into-snow palette transitions on co-pro projects that cross hemispheres; Sarah Polley's Women Talking palette informs interior naturalism for prairie shoots; Zacharias Kunuk's Atanarjuat camera work is the canonical reference for Inuit-led storytelling and high-latitude exterior work that respects indigenous protocol rather than aestheticising it.

Boards ship as layered Figma files alongside PDF and print-ready exports, with annotation tracks the director, DP, production designer and colourist can each comment on without overwriting one another. Color palettes ship with LUT-ready Hex/RGB/CMYK values, lens-set recommendations (Cooke S7/i for warmth, Atlas Orion for anamorphic flare, ARRI Signature Primes for clean falloff), and ratio/aspect treatments so the reference set carries usefully from pitch through prep into the camera-test session.
