the studio was a tiny one. the walls were painted black and bare, with only a single spotlight shining down onto a single black box that had been strategically placed in the middle of the room. prior to escorting his talent over to the studio, he had already set up the necessary equipment just so she wouldn’t have to wait.
he had rendered the help of his friend, nephel, in his latest film project, ‘beauty’.
“hey, loosen up a little. you’re nervous, aren’t you?” kieran rubbed her shoulder, feeling a slight tremble. although they had spent quite a bit of time together, they had never been in such a confined space alone before. trying to mask his nervousness as well, he flashed her a bright smile and nodded his head in reassurance. “we’ll try to get this done as quickly as possible so that you can leave at ease. i’ll treat you to a drink after.”
knowing that nephel wasn’t too experienced being in front of cameras, he tried his best to make sure she felt comfortable because that was what he really wanted to capture in his film. although there were tons of other people he could’ve asked to help him out, people who were more experienced and more open to being in front of a camera, but ultimately he had asked nephel instead. maybe it’s due to his own bias, because he thought she was the perfect person for the topic.
a smile crept up his face when he tried to made her feel at ease but talking about random things like art. he knew she loved art, and he knew he loved seeing her eyes light up whenever they talked about the things she liked.
“i’m definitely getting an A for this,” he chuckled, “the teacher wanted a single form of beauty, but i’ve got everything right here.”
