What is the film about?

Bill Fay’s official music video for “Filled With Wonder Once Again” – released 12 Nov ’19, from his upcoming Album, Countless Branches

What influenced it?

Visually I was inspired by early botanical illustration, Japanese woodblock prints, macro photography, double exposures in film and course, nature itself.

A little background information...

I wanted to create a dreamy world that melted reality into abstraction, with a sense of wonder – of nature large and small; and that explored themes of cycles and phases – of the tree & planet more broadly.

How was the film made?

Process-wise, I combined analogue and digital – hand-drawing animal-skins, patterns and organic textures, and used coloured gels & photographic slides on overhead projectors to produce soft dappled washes of light.
