SAN JOSE, CA -- Tam Communications recently completed a video for the San Jose International Airport, highlighting the airport's importance to the fast-paced economy of the Silicon Valley. Designed to be a versatile communications tool, the six-minute program serves a variety of promotional and informational purposes.

To establish the San Jose International Airport as the "access point to Silicon Valley" and a crucial hub for business travel and freight shipments, Tam's video uses fast-paced shots of people and cargo moving through the airport to destinations worldwide. Graphics and visual effects combine with aerial footage of the Silicon Valley and shots of local sights and businesses to convey the dynamic atmosphere and booming economy of the area.

The video also features a detailed 3-D animation section that outlines the proposed airport expansion plan. The complex graphical model shows the current physical structure of the airport, then adds the new facilities, giving the viewer a clear understanding of the planned changes to the airport and adjacent roadways.

Yolanda Perez, Senior Marketing Representative of the San Jose International Airport, commented, "Tam did a great job of capturing the energy of the airport and communicating its significance to the Silicon Valley. This video will be shown at different presentations to varied audiences of our community." Its initial distribution includes the airport, city agencies and the Convention & Visitors Bureau, and airlines and business considering San Jose.

The video was produced by Siiri Tuckwood, written by Susan O'Connor Fraser, directed by Tam Fraser, and edited by Fraser and Ed Cook. Sandra Silva provided art direction, and Aaron Dingman created the 3-D animation.
