About love
A creative music video with singers for the trio of performers NAKA, Anna Khitrik, Svetlana Ben was filmed by cinema professionals who immersed themselves in the creativity of the musicians. Sasha Aleinikov developed a creative concept, which was approved by team members and work began. All work on the video took the team one week.
Thanks to the fact that the whole team was passionate about the project, the final script was written in one day, then the location was quickly chosen and filming began. The clip turned out to be unusual, since non-standard optics, filters for optics and lamps were used. It should be noted that the music video with the singers was shot in one continuous shot without cuts.
Task
To shoot a short music video with girls in an unusual style for a trio of Belarusian bands. The team was inspired for this work by the events of 2014 in Ukraine, when one state imagined itself as the arbiter of destinies for other people, completely forgetting about its citizens.
⬤ 01. Challenge
Shoot a creative music video with singers in one location and one long shot.
A music video with female singers usually has a slightly larger budget because there are at least several of them. This is a little more convenient, because the entire production will be divided among everyone, and the popularity of each will be equal. In addition, several performers will be able to gather more professionals who will join the project. I would like to note that novices and professionals participated in this work, and everyone learned from each other. An interesting and at the same time simple script was developed by the young director Artyom Lobach, and the cameraman was Sasha Aleinikov.
The team members quickly got involved in the work, drew up a storyboard, a checkpoint and moved on to the preproduction stage. The location was determined in advance from those where we had already worked, which allowed us to reduce the duration and budget of the project.
This music video had to look simple and at the same time unusual. A trio of beautiful ladies performing an interesting track should present the same video sequence. The creative that the team created was easy to implement and at the same time looked stylish.
⬤ 02. Production and post
It’s easier to shoot a music video with singers in a team of like-minded people who like music.
A music video with singers is shot quickly, usually within a day or two, because there are more shots. The more performers in a video, the more different shots they usually take, because there are more angles. A professional cameraman must take this into account and try to optimize the shooting to save the budget. We developed the most detailed script, drew storyboards and launched a shooting plan.
The full production cycle of the video took the team one week. Development and pre-production took three days, and location development took one day. The shooting of the video lasted one day and two days of editing and color correction of the video.
Music doesn’t have to be on every team member’s playlist. But it should be reflected from the inner world and not carry negativity. With this approach to work, we can shoot a music video faster and fill it with the soul of each of us.

The color correction in this clip had to be done in several stages so as not to overcrowd the colors. The video production company recorded the original material in maximum quality in ARRIraw format in order to preserve maximum information about colors. During filming, additional color filters were used.
Due to complex color correction, artifacts began to appear in the picture, which had to be quickly removed. To compensate for these defects and to give the picture a film-like feel, a little noise was added to the top.
⬤ 03. Equipment
A music video with singers can be creatively shot in various genres.
A music video with singers is filmed when it is necessary to show the faces of the main performers. This should not always be done, since game clips also occur in such genres. But you can use this technique if you absolutely need to connect music and musicians or when you need to promote them in a new region. Our task in the current video was more to film a music video with the singers in one continuous frame. The scene was planned for exactly this, and it seems that we succeeded.
