President Clinton's 20th Anniversary Celebration

Jones Film Video was proud to be a part of President Clinton's 20th Anniversary of his announcement to run for President. In honor of the occasion, we cut together a video that played before his introduction at the Old State House museum in Little Rock. In this photo, courtesy of the William J. Clinton Foundation, you can see the President and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as they watch the video before coming out to meet the crowds of people gathered. The video pulls from archival footage provided by KATV from the day of the announcement in 1991, along with historical footage from the Clinton Foundation, and others.
The event was a big success, and we were thrilled to play a small part.
You can see the full video on the Clinton Foundation's YouTube channel:

Shooting the ARRI ALEXA at Oaklawn

This past Saturday, March 18th, was Rebel Stakes race day–the second race of the Arkansas Derby Series at Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The day started out a bit overcast, but it turned out to be a beautiful day to be at the track. Jones Film Video's Chris Cranford shot footage throughout the day on the new ARRI ALEXA digital cinema camera with a 250mm Cooke zoom lens. The highlights from throughout the day can be viewed in the HD video hosted on our Vimeo page, including The Factor's victorious running of the Rebel Stakes.

Jones Film Video's 30th Anniversary

Jones Film Video opened its doors on February 1, 1981 with Gary Jones, Marlene Lamar, and Sean Harper working out of the Leake Building behind Channel 7. Later that year, Jones Television Productions (as we were first known) moved to 517 Chester (shown in 1981 photo below), where Jones Film Video still maintains a studio and production kitchen set, and three HD editing suites.
