BEHIND THE FILM

One location.
Four hours.

The song arrived two days before the shoot, with just half a day available with Satinder Sartaaj. We planned the full video around one expansive location, avoiding travel between locations and completing the shoot in four hours.

Explore three frames

With a four-hour shoot window, we developed shots on location, responding to the spaces and moments we found.

A shared choice on the day.
We discovered this composition during the shoot and chose it together, using the staircase and building as the setting for the performance.

Satinder Sartaaj and his co-performer sharing a playful moment beside the pond — 02 / BY THE WATER
Planned energy, improvised setting.
The playful interaction was planned. We chose the exact spot and worked out the scene on location, keeping the mood friendly and spontaneous.

Working with what we found.
We noticed the swings while scouting. Once the artist was seated, I found the composition and began shooting, working with what was already there.
