  This is not exactly a personal video but it does represent a particular moment in time for me.
  I made this during my final week at a job I'd been in for almost 6 years. This job had started causing me significant mental health issues to the point where I felt I had to quit and was unable to work for a few months afterwards. I was not in a good headspace at the time, but I was also so darn relieved to have that particular source of stress removed. This video is somewhat a reflection of that relief.
  Ultimately the video itself is very simple, and that's deliberate, - my brain couldn't cope with complicated at this point in time, so the entire video is nothing but hard cuts, and it's mainly a linear re-telling of Spirited away focusing on how magical and freeing some of it is.
  
  I'd wanted to edit with this song for a very long time. Honestly I kind of want to edit with all the songs from the Scooter album "Under the Radar and Over the Top", but "Second Skin" was top of the list. I finally got the idea to use Spirited Away while I was listening to music on a walk and this song came on.
  
  Made using Kdenlive on a home brew PC running Ubuntu
