Concept
Where does the search for oneself begin? Within or Without? Where am I looking for existential answers? Where am I seeking the truth? When does my true journey of awakening begin? This film is a symbolic representation of the same using the device of a middle-aged man roaming through a crowded bazaar with his own picture, asking people if they have seen it somewhere.
Gear Used
Camera - Sony A7IV
Lens - Sony 28-70mm f3.5-5.6
Storyboard
This song feels like a search. Search for something. Something deeper, something that is abstract… But what exactly?
Yourself!
Production
The choice of cinematography is hard, broody, harsh lighting, which was a choice made to complement the theme of the music. Shots have sway, using a high focal length to emphasize the emotion of the person.











B - ROLL
Shooting in the rain has always been the biggest challenge for any film maker, but here a little bit of rain helped in setting the mood for the music video.
