No, the TV shoot didn’t cost a billion dollars. It was to celebrate a billion dollars. A billion dollars in sales for 2013, that is. For the second year in a row, Allie Beth Allman & Associates have reached $1 billion in sales. And this time, in just eight months!

Managing a shoot this big is a team effort, and Allen Davis, our senior account executive, and Leon Banowetz, owner and president of Banowetz + Company, were kept quite busy coordinating all the details leading up to the final shot and keeping things moving smoothly on set. Over 170 agents showed up for the shoot, which took place at MPS Studios in Irving where you can find the largest soundstage in the Dallas area (8,000 sf).

Photographer Jeremy Sharp was on site to capture some great stills of the group. And talented producer / director Michael Oleksinski shot plenty of B-roll that was edited into the 30-second TV spot by Fast Cuts Edits, which can be seen during the 10pm hour on local network channels (4, 5, 8 and 11). We hope you tune in to see the end result. It’s priceless.

Managing a shoot this big is a team effort. Much credit goes to Leon, Allen and everyone who helped make the shoot possible.
