Sometimes you only THINK you posted something on facebook... Take 2 on the BTS from White River Connect's "The Farmer"!

We knew we needed a scenic old farmhouse for this commercial, & boy did our clients deliver. Honestly, they're lucky the crew didn't just move in.

Yesterday we shared BTS, now here's a look at how it all came together. This is "The Farmer"- the second in a campaign for White River Connect.

Know what's cool? Having a team you can trust! When a big show for Headline Productions got postponed thanks to snowmageddon, earlier this year, it was moved to a date that found Jackson at the Addy Awards and Appleton working in KC. We had no doubts the crew could run the show without us, but it's nice to hear back from the client that they were "fantastic & never missed a beat."

ADDY AWARDS SHOWCASE #4: A Trio of winners in a “new to us” category- Movie Trailers! We were excited to have something to enter in this category for the first time ever this year. Thanks to the College of the Ozarks hosting a Film Festival, we had the opportunity to produce trailers for their featured series “Vietnam 101: A Class Like No Other”- a 3-film docuseries we produced a few years ago. We’re especially happy that the Trailer for each of our Veterans’ films brought home their own Siver ADDY- how could you ever choose a fave? 😊 Links in the comments to watch all 3!

ADDY AWARDS SHOWCASE #1: The Judge’s Choice Award for The Bluff House by Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks
We were blown away by the Judge’s Comments on our Cinematography! We’re especially proud that our Cinematography was awarded, as it’s something that takes our entire team to achieve. At the heart of it is our Director of Photography who lights and composes every shot. But before he puts up the first light, our Executive Producer & Director have strategically picked and set those shots, selecting the right time of day for each one. Our Gaffer and Grips light those shots at the DP’s direction. The AC perfectly times and pulls the focus. The Dolly Grip precisely executes the camera moves. And the drone operator flies take after take after to take to capture just the right composition and conditions. Production is definitely a team sport, and we are so grateful for our team to take this honor! Watch the winning piece- link in the comments.

At j+a, we take awards lightly. Don’t get us wrong, we do LOVE winning & shining a spotlight on our clients & crew- but peer-judged awards are very subjective. A project that one group of judges loves today, a different group might just look over the next. And while some videos may be really effective for our clients, sometimes they’re just not the kind of projects that catch a judge’s eye come awards season.
With that being said, last year was a great year for our team- producing the creative work that does bring home the gold! In fact, jackson • appleton shattered our past records at the American Advertising Federation - Heartland ADDY awards this weekend winning a Judge’s Choice Award, 4 GOLD Addys and a whopping 14 Silver ADDYs. We’re completely humbled and honored.
In coming days, we’ll showcase the Client videos that brought home the honors. But for today, we’re going to be clearing off some shelves!
