A music video commission for an artist within the FivePluSix network — built to serve the track without illustrating it. The direction was non-literal from the outset: the film should feel like the song, not describe it.
The treatment was built around a single location transformed across time and light conditions — dawn through to artificial night. Rather than narrative, the video works through accumulation: image, rhythm, and texture building into something that lands emotionally without explaining itself.
Camera movement was kept minimal and deliberate. Every cut was locked to a specific moment in the mix. The grade was pushed toward a desaturated palette with controlled warmth — close to how the track itself sounds: restrained, with heat underneath.
A two-week post schedule delivered a locked cut, colour grade, and three platform-specific exports. Delivered on time, on brief, and under budget.
