We created a music video for the artist, developing the entire concept from start to finish, from pre-production to post-production. Wayloz provided us with his song, and together with the crew we built a storyline that aligned with its mood and message. I was heavily involved in the pre-production phase, contributing ideas for the concept and camera angles, and ultimately took on the role of Gaffer and DOP 1st assistant.
