Turning Real-World Objects into Immersive Virtual Experiences. Our virtual production team recently took the office couch on a digital journey, and Senior Environment Artist Cory and Virtual Production Supervisor Lou are here to break it down. By using 3D scanning, we can capture objects in precise detail and turn them into fully usable digital assets. This technology expands creative opportunities while streamlining production, giving clients faster and more flexible solutions for virtual environments. Reflective dots used? Hundreds. The result? Worth every one. 🛋✨ 🎬 See Cory and Lou explain the process behind the scenes.

A memorable afternoon of golf and giving back. We were proud to sponsor a golf hole at the 36th Annual St. Joseph Home Charity Golf Classic in Cincinnati. Alongside our friends from Sazerac Company and goDutch we hit the course for an afternoon of long drives and careful putts. A big thank you to Cintas and Saint Joe's for hosting such an amazing event in support of developmental disability care in Greater Cincinnati. Proud to have joined in for such a meaningful day. #MillsJames #CommunityImpact #GolfClassic #CincinnatiCommunity Tom Buten

Starstruck doesn’t begin to cover it... From executing audio, lighting, and projection, to coordinating the details for Jack in the Box, our team was in their element at this event. We’re grateful for the opportunity to help bring people together and proud to keep creating experiences that leave a lasting impression for our partners. And yes, even on LinkedIn, we can admit that Jack made the day memorable. < :·) #MillsJames #EventProduction #JackInTheBox #EventPartners #AVProduction #LightingAndProjection

With AI advancing rapidly, how does it fit into what we do at Mills James? We sat down with our Creative Director for Visual Effects, Mike Van Horn, to discuss this latest AI experiment and the advantages and limitations of such cutting-edge technology. The verdict? AI is an exciting, versatile tool for digital artists, opening up new possibilities for select projects. But like any tool in our creative arsenal, it is only one piece of the puzzle, and we use it thoughtfully where it truly adds value. It works best when paired with other finely tuned creative techniques. AI has strengths, weaknesses, and a place in certain projects, but it is not the whole story. Knowing when and how to use it takes a keen eye, a creative mind, and sound judgment. Fortunately, we have plenty of each.
