The Process

What to expect

Investing in a music video is a big deal, so here is a quick look at how we work together from approval to delivery.

01Approve & deposit – sign off and we invoice the deposit to lock your date.
02Pre-production – brief, talent and logistics locked before the shoot.
03Shoot day – we run the day to the plan and treatment.
04Edit, review & delivery – first cut, up to 2 minor revisions, then final masters.
Scope of Work

Concept

Final Showdown is a performance-driven track with a gangster, hip-hop edge. The visual response is raw and industrial: Sunnyee performing across the rusted warehouse and stair sets of Cockatoo Island, loose and in control. A featured dancer freestyles through the space with a tomboy, powerful attitude, shot solo and in close-up, with wide frames of the two together where it counts. The final hour moves to the Woolwich shore for a golden-hour car segment with a separate model, keeping the two worlds visually distinct.
