About

Bernardo Rodriguez - Principal

Bernardo is the principal of Wonder. He is a cinematographer, photographer, husband and dad with a passion for visual storytelling. He seamlessly combines video, photography, motion graphics and design to create content for his clients that engages with its audience.

Bernardo was born in México and started his professional life as a medical doctor. One day he decided to pick up his camera and travel the world. His passion for film drove him in a new direction and eventually brought him to Canada. He completed the Documentary Filmmaking and Cinematography programs at Capilano University in 2015 and continues to hone and expand his skills through professional experience and courses. When he’s not behind his camera or editing on his computer, he’s exploring Canada’s amazing natural environment with his young family, fitting in as much climbing (and chocolate cookies) as possible.

Testimonials

“We recently had the pleasure of being the subjects of one of Bernardo’s short films. He spent two days capturing our home on video. We were incredibly impressed with his professionalism and creativity. I’ve spent 35 years working with a wide variety of film-makers in the advertising business. Bernardo is as good as the very best I’ve worked with. He has a great eye, and a great talent for creating magic on film.”

We are always thrilled with the end result and grateful for his ingenuity, expertise and excellent attitude. I highly recommend working with Bernardo and Wonder Motion Pictures, whatever your niche or need!”

“Bernardo was a total pleasure to work with and had great ideas to bring a sense of human scale and movement into the documentation along with beautiful evocative detail shots.
