VIDEO: Summer Nights Hootenanny – "The Weight"


***NOTE: Due to poor lighting and because my good camera ran out of power and hard drive space, I turned this footage black and white to try and reduce the graininess caused by my less low-light capable camera. Please bear with me — a newbie film student — as I learn to deal with low light situations as well! Because this is an Urban Homestead community event and social for people to get together, there will be background noises and voices and the camera tends to be shaky and not well position due to space restrictions. If the video bothers you… just listen to the music then — these guys rock!***

The Urban Homestead presents: “Summer Night Hootenannies” in the neighborhood
