Cinematic Sunset Beach Video
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I want to create a 27-second, slow-motion cinematic clip on the beach that opens with an eye-level wide shot of me sitting or lying with my eyes closed while moderate waves roll in behind me. The entire piece must be captured at sunset so the light stays warm and dramatic.
Sequence to capture
• 0–5 s – Wide, eye-level shot; I stay perfectly still, the waves move at 50 % speed.
• 5–11 s – Subtle push-in on the same pose; no movement from me, only hair lifted by the breeze.
• 11–17 s – A breaking wave sweeps past in slow motion; cut precisely on the beat.
• 17–23 s – Side-profile portrait, eyes closed, wet hair against the sea; gentle zoom-out.
• 23–27 s – Finish on the horizon or return to the original wide; music eases, fade to black.
Technical notes
• Shoot in 4K (or higher) to allow cropping without quality loss.
• Deliver color-graded final edit plus the raw footage.
• Audio: supply the finished track mixed to the visuals; stems optional but appreciated.
• Slow-motion speed changes must be smooth, with no frame interpolation artifacts.
• File format: ProRes or high-bit-rate H.264, 25 fps.
Acceptance criteria
1. Timeline matches the second-by-second outline above.
2. Lighting clearly indicates sunset; golden hues from start to finish.
3. Moderate wave activity visible in every shot.
4. No unintended camera shake; all transitions feel seamless.
5. Final render and raw footage download links delivered within the agreed timeframe.
If you have sample reels featuring beach or water work, please include them so I can quickly verify your style aligns with this vision.
