General description

The short documentary last for about 8 to 9 minutes and is very informative. The movie shows Vanessa-Mae talking on her new music and album, on the changes in her life and her view on her career, as well as playing with her dog in the studio. Parts of the video clips for 'Destiny' and 'White Bird' are shown together with short fragments of several of her other clips. Moreover, Vanessa-Mae is shown at various occasion during her career so far.

Details on what Vanessa-Mae has to tell
During the interview, Vanessa-Mae tells about why she felt she needed a change in her music and life. The new album 'Subject To Change' in a way reflects the changes in her life that she implemented. As an example, she tells on the professional separation from her mother as her manager with the reasoning that she needed a change after working so closely together for about 10 years, and because she felt her mother would not be able to cope with her new music. Vanessa-Mae tells about really signing on this album for the first time. Also, she shows her new acrylic violin that she describes as a fantastic instrument for recording and for using a shows because it looks great and really contemporary and modern. She emphasises nevertheless that she will go on using her acoustic instrument and fusion electric violin for performing life at her concerts.
