Rising Appalachia- Scale Down by Scott McKibben



This is a music video I made for my friends Leah and Chloe. There is nothing like a good ol' time in North Georgia hanging out with wonderful people. We spent the day at their friend Meadow's house. It was truly a pleasure meeting Meadow and being able to stay at her home which she built by hand. Her hospitality was more than I could have ever asked for. Imoto, Chloe, Leah, Meadow, and I all froze underneath the big moon belly that night. Luckily we had fire all around us to keep us a little toasty. After the shoot the girls friend Scott came down from New Orleans with a bucket of shrimp and we had an ol' fashion shrimp broil and a new fashion miso and shrimp soup. The food was fallowed by an old time jamboree with a circulating guitar, banjo, and fiddle played by Scott, Leah, and Chloe while the beautiful chiming in of Meadow's voice would occasionally enter the tune. The music went long into the night and eventually I had to hit the sack. No one really takes me seriously when I say we have to be up at 5 or 6 to shoot, but I am definitely serious. So . . . everyone looked like they wanted to kill me in the morning when I was yelling for them to get up. I think the outcome of the morning footage stands for itself though. Great lighting and the crisp breath in the air really made for a great aesthetic for the video. We finished up the morning footage and Imoto and I headed back to the city so we could get started on some more work. Over all we had a great time and got to meet 2 new great people.
