Great Artist Program - Lesson Plans Shoot

Avalanche Studios helped the Great Artist Program produce a series of 24 Lesson Plan videos.  The Great Artist Program is an excellent way for schools to integrate art into their curriculum, and the kids love it. Parent Volunteers can view the lesson plans to help them prepare to teach a class. We filmed the lesson plans in our studio and GAP founder Laurie White was the on-camera talent and resident artist.

The amazing Laurie White teaches simple art lessons designed 

for elementary students - stuff even our crew could understand:)

Here Laurie poses for the camera in one of her newly purchased outfits - she loves having a reason to shop for new clothes.

Whirlpool Shoot - Michigan and Chicago 4/17/12

The crew from Avalanche Studios recently traveled to Benton Harbor, Michigan to produce video content for Whirlpool's National Sales Meeting.  This project involved doing some heavy visual effects work and Zac Heileson headed up the job. Here, Zac works with one of the Whirlpool executives as we film him on green screen to insert him into famous scenes from various movies.  For this movie parody project we placed Whirlpool executives into movies such as "Saturday Night Fever", "Glen Garry Glen Ross", "Braveheart", "Animal House" and more.

In this photo, Zac is helping the Whirlpool executive to strut like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.

Here, producer Dave Lindsay is found loitering around outside the Whirlpool Headquarters Building.

After the shoot, we stopped into the Windy City, just so we could take a picture of this giant bean.

Utah Credit Union Association Caucus Video

In January of 2012, Avalanche Studios helped support the American Election process by producing a very informative and entertaining Caucus Training Video for the Utah Credit Union Association.

Shot on green screen in our studio, the video was called Political Wipeout and parodied the popular TV show Wipeout. Trenton James and Jeff Miller were the hosts of the show.

Travis Cline was DP and Zac Heileson handled the second camera.  Jason Conforto, Eddie Johnson and Dave Lindsay rounded out the crew.

Shoot for GE/Dresser

The Avalanche Studios crew was happy to produce a series of product videos for GE and Dresser in Salt Lake City in July of 2011.  Here we see Director of Photography Zac Heileson on camera sporting his checkered beret and his stylish safety glasses.

This series of product videos featured GE's line of specialized valves used in the natural gas and pipeline industry.  Looks like Eddie, Zac and Jason are standing around again.
