S: Amy Lee sat down in a live acoustic setting not exerting too much physical energy. Whilst she still sound so powerful and amazing, her voice is Cleary tired, as vocal fatigue is a common thing particularly for touring artists.

It's also such a normal and ok thing. I actually appreciate it when I hear it in other singers. I find it so raw and beautiful (especially here) and yet I struggle to be so forgiving towards myself.

Contribution of collaborators:

Aron:

Playing piano - he was sure to practice when he could as we were unable to have a lot of practices.

Co-writing/arranging the song - we've worked out a split on the writing credits that we both felt was fair based on how much we put into the writing aspect

Assisted with project management tasks - Aron was sure to engage with me about the project and we would discuss various things about it through messages all the time.

Nic:

Filming - he really understood the vision I had for each performance and delivered some great footage, especially considering the handheld aspect of the shoot.

David Glover:

Recording and mixing - working with Glover was a great experience because he really listened when I told him what kind of sound and style I was after - both for the recording setup and mixing session, then offer his advice and opinions in order to achieve those goals.

I thought about designing a headpiece for Jellyfish. Ultimately, I decided to group together the 9 songs and wear 3 dresses. I considered what look would go with which songs.

There were two condenser microphones above the keys of the piano.

I sang most of the set with an SM58 and then used the RE20 for Jellyfish.

I also brought in my large studio lights from Amazon. I thought that the natural lighting would be enough but decided to bring them just in case, which was definitely a good call!

Finally, both Nic and I own our own Canon DSLRs and alternated between the two as the battery life on them isn't very good.

Fortunately, rehearsal space was not an issue as we were able to practice at my bandmates university on weekdays and on weekends Aron would rehearse at my house since I own a keyboard.

I spoke to a few cinematographers with the intent to have a multi-camera set-up, however, the cost was too substantial (the first quote being £350) and I considered that I was over-producing it, when it could be as simple as a hand-held camera. When reflecting on my own skills I thought about my video editing. Whilst it did mean more work for me, it also stayed true to my DIY approach to things.

Original ideas for the performance. I instinctively wanted to do something big.

My reflective journaling was mostly done by hand, and since my handwriting is messy and hard to read, I've typed some of it up.

Other parts were done on my phone.

I feel like it was definitely worth the effort. It definitely could have gone better (like my singing, which I don't feel as bad about now as I did on the day) but I was thinking about the original idea that I had and how it would have been so much harder if I'd gone through with it!

Was looking back at my old content for inspiration, and how when I take the time, consider what I'm doing and plan things out, then execute them well, I generally know what to expect. I remember being disappointed with how this video didn't initially do well at all and then the sudden spike when it hit the algorithm and it performed exactly how I'd hoped! I need to get into that mind-frame again.
