• Conceived, directed, and produced a 3-minute original music video set to the instrumental track “Run Boy Run” by Woodkid.

• Managed all production stages, from concept development to post-production

• Planned and timed scenes precisely with the music

• Sourced costumes / props and filmed on location (including in the rain)

• Acted as the main character

• Created realistic newsreel snippets and overlays

• Integrated visual effects (crashing cars, burning buildings, falling planes) using green screen and online VFX resources

• Explores a surreal “apocalyptic world inside someone’s mind”

• Portrays chaos and destruction as a metaphor for internal conflict

• Protagonist wakes up in a church to find everyone insane, angry, and destructive — yet nobody knows why

• But the world’s collapse is, in fact, the collapse of their own mind

• It’s not the world that’s lost control - they have

• A large, cinematic visualisation of the turbulent human mind when all sense of order is gone

CHALLENGES

• Time constraints were the biggest challenge in this project.

• Post-production was tight and the VFX demands became overloading.

SOLUTIONS

• Simplified VFX plans and limited the number of effect shots.

• Adjusted the filming schedule, reducing locations

• Scaled back ambitious ideas (e.g. rooftop scenes) to keep the project achievable.

• Picked up two college awards - “Best Storytelling” and “Best Editing”

• Positively received by staff and students for its concept, scale and ambition.
