Gary Jones and Amy Sandefur ride the "Hitchcock" crane, so named as it was specially built at Universal Studios for the cinematic master, Alfred Hitchcock. Jones Film Video used this special crane to shoot a new commercial for the Arkansas State Police Highway Safety Office's "Click it or Ticket" campaign.

Filming for Arkansas Parks and Tourism's 2010 campaign continued with an afternoon shoot on the deck at Cajun's Wharf in Little Rock. It was a gorgeous day, a tad on the warm side. We shot 35mm film (for an HD transfer) of people enjoying themselves looking out on the Arkansas River while the Arkansas Queen passes by in the background.
My vote for the best burger in the delta can be found at this colorful little burger stand. We spent several days down in Helena and nearby Mississippi for a long-form video about a bank doing great things in the Delta.
Jones Film Video and CJRW kicked off production for the Spring/Summer 2010 Arkansas Parks and Tourism commercials. In recent focus groups it was determined that potential visitors really liked waterfalls, so, we found a nice one up outside of Jasper. It was a beautiful location in the Natural State.
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:

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.

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:
