Big & Rich & Chad in South Dakota

Chad making Christmas magic with Big & Rich

Check it out–airing from December 12th through Christmas is a Christmas special featuring Big & Rich that’s directed and edited by Gamma Blast’s chief Chad Denning. “Christmas in the Black Hills”, a music special on GAC (Great American Country) features artists Big & Rich, Thompson Square, Tracy Lawrence, a new trio called “The Farm”, Bradley Gaskin and Andy Gibson. Set in the city of Deadwood and the surrounding Black Hills in South Dakota, the special aims to brighten the Christmas spirit with holiday songs by each of the artists set against the landscape of this picture postcard, winter wonderland. Chad and Gamma Blast Team Member and DP Jeff Johnson shot the project through High Five Entertainment.

It was a large-scale endeavor as the city of Deadwood literally opened its town to the project for shooting–with hundreds of residents used in many of the outdoor musical numbers; a segment shot on a 1800s era steam train and a horse-drawn sleigh as the setting for another musical sequence.
