Original burning log
Origins
Burning Log was shot in 1999 by a Shaw Cable staffer named John. It was conceived as a means by which Shaw employees could stay home with their families, instead of working over the holidays.
The original film was shot by John at his home near Victoria, British Columbia.
The video became famous when university students in Victoria staged a mock protest after Shaw took it off the air in 2000. The program was both a critical and ratings success, and by popular demand, it has been rebroadcast ever since.
The program is a Canadian counterpart to the older (unrelated) WPIX Yule Log.
Ownership controversy
Craig McAllister of North Vancouver has claimed that it was he that shot the video, not John.
