Bigger Picture Group sibling trio The Harters are wasting no time in 2011, kicking off the year with their very first music video for their new single, “If I Run.” Directed by Wes Edwards (Jason Aldean), the video was shot at Nashville’s Riverwood Mansion and utilizes stop-motion photography to depict the passage of time in the song’s lyrics.
“If I Run” is already garnering critical praise for its lush harmonies and relatable lyrics, declared “In a word, fabulous” by Robert K. Oermann/Music Row. The song is written by Leslie Harter and Michael Harter with Rachel Williams and is produced by Keith Stegall.
The video for “If I Run” will make its world premiere today on CMT and can be seen on TV and online in the coming weeks.
The Harters made their first venture into video with their self-made effort for “Jenny.” Now, with the release of their new single, “If I Run,” The Harters are taking things to the next level. The new video is directed by Wes Edwards, who has also directed videos for artists such as Jaon Aldean. The video is filmed in Nashville’s Riverwood Mansion, a 9,200-swuare-foot estate built in the 1790′s. “It had some col painted walls and crown molding. It was gorgeous,” says Leslie.
The outdoor garden on the estate seemed to be a favorite location for the sibling on this shoot. “I loved the scene where the camera follows Leslie as she’s barefooted and running under the outdoor trellis,” says Scott. “They had a viewing screen and seeing that was just cool. When I saw that I could really feel the video coming together.”
