  • Technical Setup: Utilize stabilizers and rigs for smooth filming in the car, drones for aerial shots of the rooftop scene, and portable lighting for night scenes.

  • Sound: Employ high-quality recording equipment to capture clear audio, considering potential challenges in dynamic environments.

Final Deliverables:

  • Music Video: A 3-5 minute music video released on YouTube, the artist’s website, and social media platforms.

  • Behind-the-Scenes Content: BTS footage and interviews with Mattmac and the crew, detailing the creative and production process for fan engagement.
