Ah... the lovely Millie. Blue heart for the myriad shiny blues around those eyes... and cheekbones...? My 46 and 3/4 year old's brain does not understand the make up of today!
What a pleasure it was to hear your songs and a bit of the crazy story that brought you here needing a music video for all the A&R guys from the music industry pestering your dad to represent you! To be able to be family to you, and friends to your family, as you and they struggle to make sense of the whirlwind of potential. To see the fierce protectiveness of an elder sister unsure as to why it's necessary for them all to have a photo shoot before they can 'sell you'. To see the fierce practical support of a younger sister sacrificing her feet to the cold waves and being 'producer on set' for you. To see the fleeting jealousies of siblings and peers and the genuine worries of the over 40s - What if she really makes it big??
The music video production a la Knockbrex was a joy to behold. Somehow in the craziness of a chaotic holiday with 15 people, and with the vagaries of the Scottish weather and the persistence of two golden retrievers, Neil captured some of magic spilling out of Millie prancing along the seashore and made something fresh and lovely.
