SWoCo, the video #2: Just what is SWoCo?


If you hadn’t heard the name “SWoCo” before, what would you think it stood for? A brand of yogurt? A deodorant? A fancy drink? Or maybe the name for the new community newspaper (and website) for Southwest Roanoke County?
We thought we’d have some fun with the name, so shortly before our first issue came out we went to the Kevin Jones Performing Arts Studio to get some help. Kevin rounded up seven of his students -- all from Southwest Roanoke County -- and asked them what they thought “SWoCo” stood for.
Here’s what we got: SWoCo, the video. Actually, three videos.
It’s not exactly the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but we did copy Peter Jackson in one way. We shot them all at the same time. Just not in New Zealand -- somewhere in SWoCo, instead. Action!
