The Stowe Inn: getting the word out.

Here is the video I completed back in June 2009 for The Stowe Inn. It was part of an advertising project initiated through a partnership with the online edition of The Stowe Reporter.  They hired me to create a long and short format web ad for The Stowe Inn  as a courtesy for all the advertisements that the inn has bought through the newspaper. The longer format (3 min) version is posted here.

My enjoyable task was to interview the owner Jed Lipsky, who was very accommodating. He gave me the full run of the building and grounds to capture the best of the Inn during a single day.

It was a weekday lull during shooting, so I capitalized on the quiet simplicity, which will likely appeal to certain travelers.  Jed says it best in the video when he talks about the authenticity of small town life in Stowe. If you’re looking for a slice of Vermont history along with your comfortable foliage season weekend up north, this little inn is quite the gem.

My gear was fairly minimal and included a Sony PD170, Sennheiser Wireless EW 100ENG G2 mic system, and Chimera soft box.
