Rye at Christmas 2018 [4K]

A video capturing my family's Christmas holiday in the ancient town of Rye. Located in East Sussex, it is one of England’s best kept secrets. Nestled between green rolling hills and the English Channel, it’s one of the best-preserved medieval towns in England. Crooked half-timbered houses line a muddle of steep cobbled lanes, leading to medieval inns and historic churches.
This setting transported me to another time, so I felt it was a perfect opportunity to pay homage to my favourite living composer, Jeremy Soule. The music that accompanies my footage is one of my favourite compositions of his, aptly titled 'The Streets of Whiterun' from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a video game by Bethesda Game Studios.
These videos are now a regular occurrence that have become really important to me. Since 2014, my family and I have travelled to a different place in England on Boxing Day and I capture the positive vibes and creatively catalogue what we do as a family for my own memories. This year, we decided to spend both Christmas Day and Boxing Day away from home. No matter how busy I may be, I now take a week out for Christmas and New Year's celebrations each year to make a video like this. It reminds me how important it is to enjoy my creative craft and make content for myself rather than others on occasion. In the distant future, I'll have something tangible to look back on and I imagine that these videos will be more special than any photo album could ever be. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I did making it!
