Local artist completes music video to complement new CD

Jefferson Fox has more coming out than a new CD this week. Fox took a a track from "Chronicles of Harvey," his fifth CD, and made a music video in February.

Fox's friend Tim Gill contacted him with an elaborate idea for a music video to "My Brother's Keeper," a gritty and soulful song about heaven and hell.

Gill and Fox had gone to high school together down in Effingham, Ga. Gill has done video and been director of photography work for several networks, but took this on as a personal project with a friend. The two finished the script and started filming in Savannah, Ga.

With Gill as the "mastermind" and Jody Scheisser as producer, they gathered a few cameramen and several dozen extras to make the video, Fox said.

"I can't even begin to describe what happened down there," he said. "Magic happened."
