of Western, well events in the southwestern section of the states, and they were

fantastic. They're really great people to talk to because they are sticklers for accuracy,
and so am I. I do like as much accuracy as possible, within reason when you're
combining skeletons and cowboys. They helped us a lot with many elements so we

could stay within the realms of the
timeline we were working on.
Obviously, the backdrop was very

much the English countryside, so the
most involved part of the music video
was the edit, the post-production part

and that took us a year.

BiTS: Yes, I gathered from the voice
over that you put to it that it did take

a long time.

KKH: Yeah, we didn't think so. I think
that's what I meant when I said I didn't

realise what I was biting off because
we genuinely thought oh, you know,
maybe six weeks of editing. It took a

year [chuckles]. So I've definitely
learned a lot and I have a whole new

respect for what these things entail,
and I think I’d think a little bit harder
before diving in, because it was a
learning on the job experience.

BiTS: That suggests to me that your dubious about doing another one [laughs].

KKH: Well. I think I would love to do another one, and I will do another one, but

that was a huge project, and I think at some point you have to lean towards musical
film, and as much as I love the film element, I am a musician first and foremost, so I
want to honour that. I work very slow as a musician, so having time to really pour
my heart into writing is quite important to me, and so without a doubt I will do more

music videos, but maybe something not as grand. I think, to be honest with you, what
really, really took the time, what really pushed us into a corner with it, was that we

were editing frame by frame the backdrops, to put in backdrops of Arizona and
editing those to make the whole thing and recolourising. It had to look like Arizona,
and I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

BiTS: Well it does look like Arizona, I can tell you that. I think it's absolutely fabulous.

KKH: I'm glad you think so. It's very, very satisfying to look at it and think, wow, I
can't believe we did that, but it was incredibly hard work and literally learning on

the job. So I will definitely be doing more music videos, but I don't know if I will ever
do something quite as huge as that again.
