Production Notes

EXPO - Magic of the White City is a complete sensory explosion of sight and sound and it was a daunting task to recreate that experience for viewers.  Producers Mark and Michael Bussler assembled a massive collection of Chicago World's Fair materials for the film to illustrate the immense nature of the Fair and all that happened during the event.  Director Mark Bussler spent much of the production time telling the story with thousands of period photographs, paintings and illustrations.  "Viewers are literally immersed in the Fair.  After the film they have no doubt that they have been there.  Audiences have walked the 700 acres of the Fair, partied on the Midway and eaten at the cafés.  They've taken a ride on the Ferris Wheel and watched the "Tower of Lights" illuminate the Fair at night.  Viewers know the layout, understand why the Fair existed and really want to go back.  Basically, watching EXPO - Magic of the White City offers everyone a good time at the biggest party in the world.  That's what this film is about." said Mark Bussler. 
 
Not only was the picture editing and visual recording process sizeable, but the sound work was also a major part of the production.  "Audio is always as important if not more important than the video, and I take that very seriously," said Mark Bussler.  "We recorded both antique and live sounds to bring viewers into the scene of the Fair.  The film provides audiences with the feeling of encompassment by thousands of people and music from all over the world.  Period instruments like roller organs and Edison wax cylinder phonographs were mixed with modern computers and synthesizers to create an audible experience for the documentary."
