Summary

Seeking a skilled cinematographer to create cinematic B-Roll footage for a music video. The project involves capturing high-quality visuals that enhance the video's narrative and aesthetic. The ideal candidate will have experience in music video production and a keen eye for detail. The role requires collaboration with the director to ensure the footage aligns with the video's vision. The story follows two lovers spending their final night together inside a historic cathedral or castle before sunrise separates them forever. We are looking for an emotional, and atmospheric aesthetic focused on romance and tragedy. Keep in mind this project is estimated to take up about 1 minutes worth of time between performance shots in the music video. There is no dialogue—only cinematic visuals and emotional performances. Requirements: * Cast one female and one male actor (ages 21–30). * Female lead: ethereal appearance, light/blonde hair preferred. * Male lead: European appearance, dark hair preferred. * Access to a cathedral, castle, monastery, or similar historic stone location. * Candlelight, stained glass, dramatic shadows, green accent lighting, and atmospheric fog/haze. * Slow, cinematic camera movement. * Shoot in 4K (24fps with select shots in 120fps). * Camera: ARRI Alexa, RED, or equivalent professional cinema camera. * Deliver original RAW/LOG footage (no color grading). Our U.S. production team will film the band’s performance separately and handle all editing, color grading, VFX, and final post-production.
