Technical Task
✔️ What needs to be done
A short artistic musical film (not a clip in the classical sense) needs to be created for an original song lasting 4:44 minutes.
The film must have a cohesive cinematic story with one main character.
The main plotline is the ascent of a man to the summit of Mount Petros (Ukrainian Carpathians).
Simultaneously, through artistic imagery, it is necessary to convey his internal struggle with addiction and the path to a new life.
Important:
- this is not a social advertisement;
- this is not a documentary film;
- this is not a tourist video;
- this is artistic cinema, where the mountain is a metaphor for the life journey.
The film should look like the work of a professional director and cinematographer.
✔️ Purpose
The film is created as a visual accompaniment to the original song on YouTube.
The main task is to emotionally show that significant changes happen through small daily steps.
The story should be understandable even without explanations of the song's lyrics.
After watching, the viewer should be left with a feeling of hope, strength, and a desire to move forward.
✔️ Expected result and format
A finished video is required:
- 4K (3840×2160)
- 24 fps
- MP4 format (H.264 or H.265)
- duration of 4:44 minutes
- color correction at the level of artistic cinema
- smooth editing
- cinematic camera work
The same appearance of the character must be maintained throughout the film.
Changes are not allowed:
- change of face;
- change of age;
- change of clothing without plot necessity;
- random AI artifacts.
✔️ Examples or references
In terms of style, we would like to receive something between:
- artistic cinema;
- modern outdoor advertising of Patagonia;
- the atmosphere of the Ukrainian Carpathians;
- calm cinematography without clip-style editing.
Important:
- natural lighting;
- minimum special effects;
- maximum realism;
- live camera;
- real emotions.
The music is already ready.
The lyrics of the song are also ready.
There is a finished original song and a clear vision of the overall idea of the film. Creative proposals regarding script construction, directorial decisions, editing, and video creation technology are welcome. The main thing is to convey the emotion and meaning of the work.
✔️ Deadlines and budget
Deadlines:
approximately 2–4 weeks after concept approval.
Budget:
Please propose a cost for execution depending on the suggested production technology and scope of work.
(I am ready to discuss depending on the proposed production technology and portfolio level).
✔️ What will be considered a completed task
The work is considered completed after the delivery of:
- final video in MP4 format (4K);
