Love it! Took me a bit by surprise, but then ended with a big smile on my face.
This video (to me) represents ALL that is basic and good and beautiful. It is America! WE are America and those who blieve in her KNOW John Galt ....

Fallingwater, the Kaufman home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania, would be stunning as an exterior location shot for the home of Midas Mulligan.
"It stood on a ridge, the largest house of the valley, the only one built two stories high, an odd combination of fortress and pleasure resort, with stout granite walls and broad, open terraces."
Given their friendship, I think both Rand and Wright would heartily approve of the idea. The landscape -- though not Colorado -- would work: granite boulders, lush forest, rushing creek and the waterfall.
The interior scene where Dagny has dinner with the men of the valley could of course remain as filmed.
The exterior shot could be stock footage from the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) which manages Fallingwater.
To put my money where my mouth is, I will contribute $500 to WPC and another $500 to Atlas Productions if you want to do this.

Arch, this is raw footage of areas to be used in the film, not the way it will be for filming. Look at the date, Dec 2013, of course it was decorated for Christmas! Duh! If you recall, several things in the Gulch were done in a artisanal manner, so some rustic should be expected. As for pure beauty, couldn't be better. My compliments to the scouts.

It does look good. And I enjoyed the return of the original theme for John Galt.

Thanks for the beautiful cinematography and enhancing it with E. Cmiral's beautiful theme.

Beautiful scenery! There is a white bench in one of the shots, which I found to be interesting visually. Because it's not all perfectly square planes, it appears that the view is through water, or warped glass. Cool! Thanks for posting, Scott!

Non mooch, not to be critical, but, the white bench you're referring to is made of branches that were to the builders needs. Like I mentioned earlier, artisanal approach in the Gulch was mentioned by Ms Rand.

Google grief--r u sure you read the book??

If this set is supposed to represent Galt's Gulch (and that may not be the intention - of course - how would we know? There's not accompanying verbiage to suggest otherwise) it could not be more wrong. Every mention of Architecture by Ms. Rand speaks to the spare, clean and MODERN (actually, radically contemporary for the time that the book was written) lines of all of the structures. Even when constructed of simple materials (as they all were) they were described as being starkly simple. Christmas Decorations showing in the first set? Ms. Rand would gag. Plus, she always wrote of things being neat, efficient, and again, spare. Farm implements laying around? Hanging baskets from porch eaves?
Also - the fact that it was "suggested" that the scenes are "sure to please even the most orthodox Atlas fan" is a slap in the face to Ms. Rand, where she devotes whole passages to Jim Taggart telling Dagny how she is going to like some policy that has been implemented, before he tells her about it. I hope that this is indeed NOT Galt's Gulch.
