Azara Effect Productions (AEP), located in Victoria, BC, is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Scott Gillies. The combination of education, artistic talent, and experience, coupled with a background in science, has helped AEP produce numerous visually engaging and effective informational videos. Scott Gillies, director/animator, usually works alone to complete projects but, when a need ar
ises, will call on several subcontractors to meet the needs and scheduling demands of the project. AEP produces animation and live-action videos, working from the rough script through to the final launch of the video. Illustration, photography and DVD creation are additional services that are offered by AEP. One of AEP’s greatest strengths is our ability to enhance videos with artwork and graphics. Animated titles, motion graphics and artwork are techniques AEP frequently uses to add appeal to videos and further engage the audience. Scott Gillies is an experienced animator and artist who can utilize this talent and knowledge to enhance video projects and increase production value. In June of 2016, Azara Effect Productions’ video for the Canola Council of Canada, 'Clubroot of Canola Disease Cycle,’ received The Canadian Phytopathological Society's Educational Award.
