              Storytelling From the Swamp!

              Scott Holstein sent us this video a while back and it must have gotten lost in our email (thanks iphone fans). Being from Tallahassee, Florida, Scott decided to use the swamp as his backdrop. He also came up with a cleaver way to light up little lanterns used in the shoot. Maybe I’m the only one, but I’d be a little scared of getting eaten alive or being bit by something hiding in those country swamps!

                I can’t believe he was in that swampy water with just his sandals! Where were his waders!! LOL, awesome idea, and cool with the lights!
