Author: StarryForestJaguar Word Count: 7437 Updated: 2025-06-08 06:11:42

Last Shooting in Elffire City

Auburn Way Street, Elffire City.

Saturday Morning, December 19th.

The day started early for Arthur and his crew.

After two days of planning and preparations, they were finally ready to shoot the 'Save Your Tears' music video.

This particular music video was different when compared to the other two music videos they produced for Moonlight.

All the scenes of the music video were from a party.

The music video focused on two ex-lovers as they met each other at this party.

As it was a party, the planning needed to be done to film scenes of a party was much more complicated than a simple scene.

They needed tens of background actors, but Arthur already hired 35 background actors last Tuesday.

Each one would earn 300 dollars, which was a normal amount of money because there were no scenes that needed these actors to perform.

They just need to act like they were at a party.

Only Helena and Ishii would need to perform as they would act as the two ex-lovers.

But with all the experience they earned after performing in front of the cameras for the last 3 weeks, the two of them were not nervous anymore.

They knew what they had to do, and they were confident about it.

Another important aspect of the video was the lighting, this was a party.

And every party has its characteristics lights to improve the mood of the party.

Bobby, the responsible for the lighting, had a big challenge in this music video.

He had to make it possible for the scenes shot by the camera to have the distinctness for the audience to be able to see what's happening at the party, and at the same time, it has to have the lighting that a party should have.

The bright and colorful lights that all parties had.

Another aspect was the one that Niwa was in charge of.

The art concept with the party decorations and the actors' clothing.

Helena, Ishii, and the other 35 backgrounds needed to look good.

After all, this was a party, and everyone dressed up for parties.

Niwa spent the last two days making the props for the scene, and also adjusting some clothes that would be used in the shooting.

After the 35 background actors were hired, Niwa got their measures and immediately asked Ayia for the clothes she wanted.

She needed those measures, after all, even if she got the most pretty clothes for someone, it wouldn't matter if the clothes did not fit the actors.

For the last two days, she asked so many things to Ayia, that Niwa was almost embarrassed by it.

But with Ayia's help, they were able to get the right size for each piece of clothing she designed for the actors.

Another aspect was the makeup and hair of the actors.

As it was said before, this was a party, and everyone needed to look their best.

The girls needed makeup and hair done.

Which made Kate, the hair stylist and makeup artist, one of the most busied people on the crew.

She had the job of making everyone look beautiful for the party, which would demand all her time, as she had to prepare 37 actors for the party.

When Arthur saw how much workload Kate would have, he asked her if she wanted help.

After thinking for a while, she refused.

Even though she knew that it would be exhausting and difficult, she did not back down from the challenge.

She became even more determined.

Another aspect of the music video was the camera settings.

Different from the last shootings, the settings would be totally different.

First, Buddy would operate the camera to move through the party.

The camera would not be placed on tripods like before.

That was because this music video demanded particular movements of the camera.

For example, as the camera moved through the party, the audience would feel more immersed in the party.

That was exactly what they wanted.

A party was for people to dance and enjoy the music.

And the camera should act like it.

So, Buddy's skills would be much more demanded in this shooting.

The last two music videos were not difficult for him, only in some scenes he was able to show his talent.

But in this music video, throughout the whole duration of it, Buddy would be operating the camera.

That's why Arthur and Nomura had long talks with Buddy.

They explained everything they wanted from him when they started shooting the music video.

And as a talented cameraman, Buddy was able to absorb and understand their instructions.

And the last aspect was the location.

After scouting several locations, Nomura found the perfect place.

The place he chose was normally rented for parties, and as they wanted indeed to show in the camera that a party was happening, it was the perfect place.

When they chose the place, they asked Ayia to rent the place for the whole day of Saturday.

They would need the whole day to set up the place for the party.

Decorations, lights, cameras, and so on.

After all these things were said, we can understand that the whole crew was in a frenzy for the last two days.

They worked non-stop to get all things and preparations done before Saturday.

They could not afford mistakes, they only had one day to shoot the music video.2

And their last music video they would produce for Moonlight.

Ayia already warned them that Moonlight would not produce any other music videos for the album he would release at the end of the month.

Moonlight would release any other album soon, therefore their journey producing music videos in Elffire City would end.

3 weeks ago they arrived in Elffire City searching for their dream, their big break project that would make them be recognized by others.

What they received was much more than that.

They got the opportunity to work in 3 big productions and experience all types of things.

They were completely different people than they were 3 weeks ago.

They used high-quality types of equipment and had no limits to their budget.

Everything they asked Ayia for, they would get it.

They filmed scenes in crowded places, indoors, in remote places, and so on.

They were beyond grateful for all the trust that Moonlight had in them.

That's why they wanted so much to produce something as good as their last two projects with Moonlight.

Even though they had a tight schedule, they did not give up, instead, it made them more determined.

That was their feeling when they were packing the truck that Saturday morning.

They had to pack the decorations, clothes, props, and other things in the truck to transport to the party's location.

They woke up early for that, but no one had a grumpy face.

They all had shining eyes as they worked diligently.

Even Helena and Ishii were helping.

This day meant a lot for the two of them too.

They didn't know when they would be able to act in such a big production as lead actors again.

Their future was uncertain.

It all depended on how their careers would be after the music videos were released.

They were the lead actors in 3 of Moonlight's music videos.

Would their careers soar when people saw them on screen?

It was uncertain, they thought.

But one thing was for sure.

The last few weeks were magical for them too.

And they were as determined as the others to produce the best music video possible.

But would they be able to do that?
