We wrapped our 2 days filming in Houston this afternoon with temps in the 90s with matching humidity. Working in a large gas plant with full FR clothing, steel toe boots and hard hats all day will wear you out. We had a great crew, and now were off to another company to film in the morning.
It was 11 degrees, but we filmed one of the final episodes of the world’s tallest fresh cut Christmas tree. After a concert featuring the world renowned fiddle player, Kyle Dillingham, and closing remarks from Kyle and Carol Williams, we headed out into the bitter cold.
The crowd gathered at the base of the tree for one final song, then the Grand Marshall flipped the switch that turned off the lights of Christ’s Tree. Next week we continue to document this wonderful project as a crew will begin removing the decorations and disassemble the tree.
The World’s Tallest Fresh Cut Christmas tree in Enid, Oklahoma (The ONE), came down with a powerful crash today just after sunrise. This has been a 6-month, multi-state video production as the KJ FilmWorks crew captured this story to create The ONE documentary.
But this is not the end of the journey for The Christ Tree. It is heading off to the saw mill to be made into lumber, souvenirs and other items that will last for many years to come. Plans are already in motion for a bigger event next year. Stay tuned to KJ FilmWorks for the full story about this adventure.
Our last video shoot of the year took us to Kingfisher, Oklahoma to film 2 commercials for Johnsons of Kingfisher. One of the ads was titled, “Out of the Box” (As Renee demonstrates) and was a lot of fun to produce. The next time you watch a movie at the Kingfisher 89er theater, you will get to see them.
Later that afternoon we headed east of Kingfisher to produce a gas plant contractor orientation video for Mustang Oil and Gas. The facility was in full shut down so it was easy to get around and film the shots we needed.
That’s a wrap on 2021, other than The ONE Christmas tree in Enid. More on that later, Stay Tuned!
We filmed on Christmas Eve at the The ONE capturing footage of four church services held in front of the tree. This is an ongoing part of KJ’s documentary of the World’s TALLEST Fresh Cut Christmas Tree in Enid, Oklahoma.
