A nice 3-D animation!

Casino Magic Biloxi

The Mississippi Gulf Coast was the backdrop for the production of this 15-minute marketing video.

Casino Magic Biloxi was "home" for a full week of shooting for the crew of six and cast of twelve. Jim produced and shot the project on BetacamSP, utilizing a Camera Jib, Dolly; HMI and Tungsten Lighting, and a 10-foot stepladder.   24 hours of digital editing back in Houston completed the project. "I couldn't be more pleased with this production," said Diane Calhoun, Director of Publicity for the property. "The look and feel of it is rich and elegant, with creative, flowing camera moves through the Hotel and Amenities segments. Then it kicks in with excitement when we hit the Casino. Everyone here loves the show!"

Nice when the building's facing south!

Available light. We used every light available!
Prop Food looks great, but don't eat the lobster-- it's not fully cooked!

Six background cues on this one!
Atrium jib tracking shot

Yes, that was her husband. Had to behave!
The ol' champagne jacuzzi shot.  Done a million of 'em!  Keep them bubbles alive, this is a family show!

Serendipity!
This beautiful sunset shot happened all by itself.  We were clearing the room after the jacuzzi shot when I walked back in the room and opened the curtain.  "Whoaaa! Gimme a camera and a soft fill light, quick!"
