WatchAfter shooting some B-Roll for a project I was working on last year I ended up not needing it. So before I set it all to be archived, I decided to put some of it together into a little short called SAFEHOUSE. Note: The home in the video was occupied by about 150 people during a baby shower when a chimney from the 1st floor fireplace started to leak into the attic. Before anyone knew there was a...
