Video Sketch: day three. A Bog at Night by David S Kessler

Our intrepid guide, Allen Crawford took us out to a bog off of a winding dirt road.  Most of were not properly equipped to do any real hiking or immerse ourselves in any swamps.  Fortunately, this bog was located on a stream that doesn’t get too deep until you venture pretty far out.  We took our shoes off and wandered in as deep as we could. There was a mixture of soft sand and smooth rocks.  The water was crystal clear and ice cold.

Ben Warfield made the soundtrack for this piece. I’m liking these deep tones with just a hint of song structure.

 

Shooting Day Two – Atsion Lake

Stephen and I went down past Goshen Camp Grounds and shot some video on the banks of Atsion Lake.  Mostly, i wanted to start getting some night footage and figure out the logistics for shooting at night.  The was a pretty heavy thunderstorm earlier in the day and the river was flooded.  I managed to get some pretty nice dusk footage before I had to flip on the LEDs.  above is a still from the footage shot right before complete darkness. Notice the spider silhouetted in the lightening bolt!
