What started as an initiative to win The Melting Pot 2021 Creative Crew Video contest ended with a music video adaptation of Sam and Krispy's new single Stoneheart. The overall goal of the project was to showcase storytelling, videography, aesthetic, and breaking skills to win the grand prize for greatest crew. With the crew split between DC and LA, the challenge was building a team and developing an idea that would show cohesion despite the distance and incongruence between locations.
