[COMMISSIONER] is looking for a director to create the music video for [ARTIST] track [TRACK].
Love-induced insomnia from a broken relationship.
Set in New York, the city that never sleeps, we want to film a performance and relationship-based video to portray how thoughts and emotions become more intense at night when they weigh on your mind. We’d ideally like the portrayal of the two sides (day thoughts/pillow thoughts) to be filmed using different styles e.g. fish eye/black and white for the pillow thoughts to represent that it's distorted.
We’d love the locations to include the NY skyline.
New and creative ideas welcome
