Electric Square teamed up with our friends at Primitive Entertainment to help create this dazzlingly unique take on Canuck ingenuity.

This series features three stories of invention, innovation and discovery in each episode, fitting an aspect of the national character. Ever wonder about the Canadian embodiment of “Imperviousness”? Well tune in and learn all about the quinzhee, Canada Goose parkas, and the Exo-Suit. How about some of the “Brilliant Amenities” that were created here, such as Robertson screw, plastic garbage bag and bear-proof trash bin?

Irreverent and enlightening, Canadian Made tells its story through documentary, animation, skits, recreations, and computer graphics.

Electric Square oversaw the production of over 6 minutes of animation for each of the 14 episodes in this series. Everything from locator maps to fully realized CG worlds and character animation, we used every trick in our bag on this show. The creative challenges and freedom of working on this show were unlike anything we have done before, and we are unequivocally proud of Canadian Made as a whole, and of our work within it.
