The film
Sela Vey sings to a city that has stopped listening. One night, one jacket, one neon sign that refuses to die. Shot in four hours on a closed street in Lisbon.
Inside the edit
Four decisions, where they sit in the film.
The first chorus arrives on a cut to black. Two frames of nothing make the light feel louder.
The grade
Drag across the frame: the log file on the left, the graded film on the right.
Graded in DaVinci Resolve. One look across the video, the teaser and the three vertical cuts.
The cut
Eleven hours of rushes for a three minute song. The first cut followed the lyrics and felt like a lyric video.
It came alive when we cut to the beat of her walk instead, and let the words fall where they fall.
