  • Making Light Under The Door

    On 23rd March the video I made for Light Under The Door by My Panda Shall Fly was released to the public. If you haven’t seen it already, check it out! This represents a bit of a departure from my usual visuals that feature an onslaught of colour and movement. The track itself is…
