Green Leaves Hat Rack Video

I finally did a behind the scenes video recently.  In doing so, gained an entirely new level of respect for those who work in the entertainment industry.  Getting the right shot, trying to properly tell the story, is so hard. Not to mention having to watch yourself on camera.  This is all before going through the painstaking editing process.

Never the less, I believe that I am hooked.  :)
