Filming Arkansas State Police Seat Belt Ad

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.


Here is the TV spot:

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.

Parks and Tourism Summer 2009 Shooting Begins!

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.
