Will little Mumbo find a home in Billings? Will all urban hens be welcomed back into the Magic City?

The following video is just some videographic ballast. I guess to offset the depressing imagery bombarding me these days. It’s a series of random cuts — stuff that happens behind my back during shooting (or mostly…some of it’s just travel shots). Mainly, it’s moments in-between official shooting where I can turn the camera around to the gaggle of kids pressing to see what the camera sees. Most video cameras have flip out LCD screens that, when turned around, becomes a kind of mirror. It’s all just “non-footage” as far as the real piece is concerned, but in some ways it expresses something similar to what we hope to achieve with the “official” work.
