Music video: Ilena — “Spi” (Sleep)
The client wanted a music video planned and filmed, with a cover image and versions prepared for different platforms.
Task
The client wanted a music video planned and filmed, with a cover image and versions prepared for different platforms.
What was at the entrance
The music track, an initial script and the client’s creative direction.
What did I do
- refined the script
- created an AI-assisted storyboard
- helped scout locations
- developed the styling, lighting and camera angles
- filmed with a team
- worked on lighting, camera and location setup
- assembled the edit
- added AI design and generated shots
- colour-graded the video
- prepared the cover and titles
Process
I first assembled the team. Pre-production covered script development, visual direction, storyboarding, props and lighting plans. After the team shoot, post-production included the main edit, AI-generated shots, colour grading and cover images.
Result
A finished music video with an original visual concept, live-action footage, AI-generated inserts and complete post-production.
