A taster mini-vid of the secret woodlands festival, In The Woods, featuring music from The Invisible and Connan Mockasin.www.poppieskold.com
Asked by The Invisible to make a short video for Beck's 'Music Inspires Art' project, using slow motion water scenes. Produced and directed the piece, filming on a high-speed Phantom camera. Cut the piece to Spiral, a track that encapsulates the atmosphere I find most striking about The Invisible's music.
