For 'NEW DAY', the challenge was matching the lighting in our studio setup to the natural, moody outdoor Jeep sequences. We color-graded every frame to ensure the transition felt seamless, keeping the viewer locked into Sailor Ji's performance rather than distracted by technical jumps. ### My Approach to Music Video Direction When I shifted from my corporate life at Google to full-time filmmaking, I decided that every music video I touch has to be more than just a video. It has to be Cinema. For the 'NEW DAY' shoot, this meant avoiding the standard 'performance in a warehouse' look. We used a mix of natural light for the outdoor sequences and high-contrast, moody LED setups in the studio to give the video texture. ### The Creative Process Collaboration starts before we ever pick up a camera. With Sailor Ji, we sat down to break down the lyrics. Hip-hop needs a certain rhythm, and if the editing doesn't match the beat, the impact is lost. We shot the performance scenes to feel intimate, using close-ups to capture the intensity of the track, while the Jeep sequences added that grit and movement. My crew handles the technical heavy lifting—gaffers, light techs, and sound engineers—so I can focus on guiding the artist’s performance and the narrative. ### Why This Works - **Pre-production Planning:** We don't wing it on shoot day. We work with mood boards, shot lists, and location scouting so that when the camera rolls, we are capturing, not guessing. - **Color Grading:** This is where the mood is locked in. For this video, we leaned into a palette that felt grounded but sharp, ensuring the studio footage and outdoor footage lived in the same visual world. - **Studio & Location:** Based in Delhi, I use my studio for controlled, high-end looks, but I am comfortable shooting anywhere across India if the story needs a specific location. Whether you are a solo artist needing a performance video or a band looking for a narrative-driven production, I bring the same level of discipline to every project. My goal is to help you build a visual brand that lasts. ## About VikyyClicks I'm Vikas, and I swapped corporate spreadsheets for a camera because I believe music deserves a proper story, not just flashy cuts. When I work on music videos, I'm focused on the emotion of the track as much as the lighting and framing. Let's make something that actually lasts.
