When video was in its infancy in the early 1980s, Chris Cassels was there, producing music videos on 3⁄4 inch video. His first national release in 1986 was “Off the Wall” by his brother’s band, The Rob Cassels Band. It was aired nationally and abroad in Canada and England. He has since produced hundreds of TV spots and corporate videos thoug out the Western Hemisphere. He has worked with such stars as Jeff Gordon, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Tom Watson, Hale Irwin, Edwin McCain, Nick Faldo, Sheryl Crow, Henry Aaron, Ted Nugent and Brian May of Queen — just to name a few.
