I've wanted to make a video like this for a while, but I kept putting it off, as I was unsure how to approach it. I don't think this final result lives up to my expectations , partly due to the difficulties of filming outside - including random interruptions by cows - and partly due to the a sense that the structure of the video isn't quite right, and that I didn't say everything I wanted to say, or didn't say the things I did say in the right way. I'm releasing it regardless, because I think there's a chance some of you might find it interesting or useful, although the degree to which you find the video useful is probably proportional to how similar your background is to mine. And of course, I'd love to know your thoughts and reactions in the comments below. Thanks for watching!
