Fun, simple and symbolic. But in the fervour against Musk, has nobody clocked the unfortunate parallel symbolism of a fossil-fuel-powered military machine crushing an electric car?? A car that not so many years ago was celebrated as a symbol of climate-change-conscious innovation?

There's nothing quite as dispiriting as presenting a concept and video script to a bunch of people who just look at their laptops the whole time. I'm so, so, over this industry. Somehow, some way, change is coming. Watch this space.

Some call me perfectionist, but far worse are newlyweds (i.e. wedding photography) and musicians (i.e. music videos). With stings more than the muso's poor-artist-zero-budget, is how they take all your energy and generosity... but then never even use or publish the video. What are your 'red lines'?

It's 5 years since I arrived back in Aotearoa! Swapping UK lockdown for the NZ one... took this quick time-lapse of London, not knowing when I'd be back... literal & symbolic water under the bridge.
I'll never regret being here with my mum those final two years of her life, but I do miss the UK.
