An almost unbelievable Christmas at Biltmore

Possibly the most complicated spot we've ever produced, the spot rolls along to a majestic conclusion with no signs of the complexity behind it. We shot almost the entire spot 'day for night' effecting the daytime footage into magical Christmas evening as a family heads to Biltmore. 


The moon, stars and the cars headlights, even the images you see out the car's windows and the reflections on them were added in post. In fact, the car was in a studio not even moving during the shooting of the interior scenes. 

Editing, Compositing and Color Grading by Evan Schafer, Producing by Matthew Gellert and an original music score was created by Steven Heller.

Smooth Air

Shooting new aerials for Biltmore allowed us to use the latest technology for camera stabilization, the Cineflex HD system. Dodging weather and getting the shots required close collaboration with the folks at Biltmore and the helicopter crew, all coordinated by Bonesteel Films' producer Matthew Gellert. In the air was director Paul Bonesteel and Biltmore staff producer Robin Turner Oswald, pilot Rudy Ribbeck and camera operator Frank Ryde.
