What needs to be done
Reels for events
To start: 10-15 reels for the event on May 17, 2026.
Format: 9:16, 1080×1920, MP4, 15-30 seconds.
Aesthetic
NOT glossy, NOT digital-clean. Artificially aged, film style.
- Heavy 8mm / Portra 400 film grain (visible, do not remove)
- Warm amber palette (golden tones dominate)
- Light leaks (warm glows in the corners)
- Soft vignette (soft darkening at the edges)
- Lifted blacks (lifted shadows, documentary look)
- Slight handheld shake (10-15%)
- Fade-to-black corners
- Color profile: warm, slightly faded
Feeling: as if shot on an 8mm camera in 2003, accidentally found in the archive, digitized.

Source Material
Some material is already available. Photos of the venue + drone video of Village Underground (28 files, 163 MB): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13Hn9yH8Khbwo3G7A6djeZCL5bjKpxbAW
IMPORTANT: the material has been used previously in other promos. Do not use in its original form, must be processed through aged film grade (grain + warm color + crops + slowdown) to look fresh.
Your own footage is in progress.
Additionally, for the test video, you can use stock footage or other processed videos
