Postcard number 2 – and why I’m doing them.

This is becoming a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The idea was to put together 8 short videos that would represent a part of the journey to a place called The Hollow. A place somewhere between the actual hiding holes or spaces I knew as a kid playing out in the woods and any space you might remember from your childhood… that really cool little spot you found that you felt like no one else knew about, even if only for a few hours.
I was going to prepare them all at once and then squeeze them out over the coming weeks, but I changed my mind. I’m now putting these together on a weekly basis. Going out and filming, popping it all together, opening up the album track project and doing a one-minute alternative version to go with the footage I have.
It’s my first exploration of doing film properly too, so it’s a learning experience. Arguably it’s an odd time to do it when I’m busy with finalising the album and the single and various parts of what that involves, but actually it’s quite a relaxing, creative process and I like it.
And I really want to show my favourite month and season gradually evolving over the next 6 to 8 weeks. Anyway, here is “Postcard” number 2. I really hope you enjoy the film and more importantly, the preview of this next album track.
