EFCA Shoot in Downtown Little Rock

Big Crane on the Trucks, originally uploaded by Chris Cranford.

Jones Film Video recently shot a commercial for Arkansans for the Secret Ballot and CJRW. The spot illustrates what could happen if the Employee Free Choice Act is passed. For the spot, we pulled out all the tools in our production arsenal, including our 27 foot Javelin Crane and our Movie Tech Magnum dolly. In post-production, Tyler Cobb seamlessly duplicated extras, removed cars, and painted out logos and satellite dishes.
You can watch the spot in HD on our Vimeo Channel, along with a behind the scenes video:

Recycle the Rock

LR Recycling location, originally uploaded by Chris Cranford.

Jones Film Video shot a new TV spot for the City of Little Rock's Recycling program. The idea was a family basically moves the breakfast table out into the street to be closer to their Recycling bin. But a neighbor points out the error of their ways.

Jones Shoots New Stamp Out Smoking Campaign

Closet Cigarette pack tumble, originally uploaded by Chris Cranford.

The team at Jones shot a new Stamp Out Smoking Campaign for CJRW. The idea was showing several situations where people found items such as food, clothing, or even their car replaced by cigarette packs--representing just how much they were spending, and what they were giving up, by smoking. More production stills can be viewed here. The spot was shot in high definition and can be viewed on Vimeo:

While the Tornado sirens were going off in Little Rock last week, the team from Jones Productions and Cranford Johnson Robinson Woods spent an enjoyable day in Hot Springs with Country music star Tracy Byrd. Best known to fans for his songs "I'm from the Country", "Keeper of the Stars", "Watermelon Crawl", and "Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo", Byrd has been hired by the Hot Springs Convention and Visitor's Bureau to promote Hot Springs as a vacation destination. A new TV campaign will feature Byrd in several Hot Springs locations talking about what he likes to do when he visits the Spa City. Above, Tracy gets ready to chow down on a delicious steak at The Portherhouse restaurant on Central Avenue. Below, the crew from Jones and CJRW pose with Tracy Byrd for the blog.

On Location: Magic Springs!

Newest member of the Jones Production team, Katie Rook, makes last minute adjustments to the kitchen set.

Jones Productions spent the day in Hot Springs a couple of weeks ago shooting new TV commercials for Magic Springs and CJRW. The concept is about having a theme park in your own backyard, so, three different sets were built in front of major attractions at the park. The camera started on the set and then moved through the window to reveal the park outside.
Producer Debbie Grace prepares for the last set-up of the day.
