I front a two-man rock/metal act and need a gritty, no-frills music video that matches our raw sound. The concept is a fast-cut montage that blends live performance shots of the two of us with atmospheric B-roll captured in abandoned outdoor locations—think derelict warehouses, empty industrial yards, rusted train cars, anything that feels neglected and heavy.
On shoot day we’ll set up our backline on-site and play through the track several times so you can capture multiple angles (handheld, tripod, drone or gimbal—whatever helps the energy translate). I’d like close-ups of vocals, sweeping guitar shots, and plenty of wide frames that showcase the surrounding decay. Between takes, grab textural footage—peeling paint, broken glass, long corridors—to splice into the performance for pacing and mood.
After filming, handle the full post-production cycle: syncing to the master track, tight rhythmic cuts, basic color correction or a stylised grade (dark, high-contrast tones work best), and a final render suitable for YouTube and socials (4K and 1080p). Light motion graphics for our logo at the start/end would be a bonus but isn’t a deal-breaker.
Deliverables:
• 3-4 minute finished video synced to our single
• 30-second teaser cut for Instagram/TikTok
• All project files (Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve) and raw footage backups
I’m aiming to keep this agile and cost-effective, so a small crew or even a solo shooter/editor with the right kit is perfect. If you have examples of rock, metal, or similarly high-energy outdoor shoots, send over a link so I can feel the vibe. Let’s make something loud, rough, and memorable. Apon request I can send you the song I want the video for.
