'Perfect' Music Video Office, Auburn Way Street, Elffire City.
While Theo spent his Sunday working on the production of the 8th song of his album, the production crew of his music video raced against time to be able to finish the shootings before the ending of the deadline that Theo gave them.
Everyone arrived early in the morning.
That included the two leads and the 4 supporting actors that they hired.
"Let's have a meeting before we start working today." Arthur shouted to draw his attention.
The others nodded and took a seat by the center table.
Arthur looked at his crew and felt happy for being able to work with them.
They started the production of the video last Tuesday, and since then, they hadn't stopped working.
On that Tuesday, Arthur and the rest hired 6 actors.
4 middle-aged actors.
And 2 children actors.
These six supporting actors were essential for the plot of the video.
The plot of the music video was centered on two people, who were interpreted by Helena and Ishii.
It was a love story between two childhood friends.
In the script that Moonlight gave to them, there were scenes where it was needed for children to perform as younger versions of Helena and Ishii.
And the children actors were hired exactly because of that.
Shooting scenes with young actors were much more complicated because the crew needed to be much more careful, and the child's parents needed to be present at all times.
That's why Arthur decided that the scenes with the children would the first ones to be filmed.
After they finished filming, Arthur dismissed them for the rest of the production.
But they were obviously handsomely paid for their performance.

Helena and Ishii would not be dismissed until the last scene was filmed.
But the other four actors who were present in the meeting that Sunday morning would be dismissed today after they filmed their last scenes.
These four actors would interpret the parents of the lead characters.
The story of the music video started with two children becoming inseparable friends, they did everything together.
But one day, Helena's character's parents need to leave town, and obviously, she had to go with them.
The two childhood friends go in separate ways.
Time went by, the children became teenagers, and the teenagers became adults.
What was an inseparable friendship became something they barely remembered anymore.
But one day, Helena's character's parents go back to the house they used to live in, and she helps with their move.
She was helping them move some boxes when she saw a young man leaving the next-door house.
And she feels something poking her heart as his eyes also stop at her.
They both feel that they know each other, but they could not remember from where.
It is only when her character's mother recognizes Ishii and hugs him, that they remember who the other is.
At first, they are awkward around each other.
Time drove them apart for so long that it was not easy for them to same again.
But as they continue seeing each other, they remember the feelings buried in their hearts.
There were some scenes of the couple getting together and having fun.
Eventually, at the end of the video, there was a wedding scene.
They married in a beautiful place with their parents as witnesses.
The last scene of the music video showed the two of them dancing barefooted, she dressed in her wedding dress and he dressed in his wedding suit, with the beautiful scenery behind them.
Just by the description of the scene, it is possible to imagine that the scene was much harder to produce than the rest.
Everything needed to be perfect.
The clothes, the decorations, the location, the weather, and other factors.
"You all know that we will film today the most important scene of the video. Tell me how are the preparations." Arthur asked as he looked at them.
"The scene decorations and clothes are ready. We will just need to arrive at the location earlier to set everything up for the wedding." Niwa, the art director, replied calmly.
She was the person responsible for designing the decorations and clothes for this wedding.
And she was proud of it.
The bride's dress was one of the best pieces she had ever created.
It was simple, but at the same time elegant.
The wedding decorations had the New Year's theme, with lights and flowers all over the place.
Niwa was confident in what she designed.
"Ayia-san sent me the permit of the place we chose for the shooting. We are good to go." Kanna said.
The location they chose to shoot this scene was a secluded place a few kilometers into the Pedrarruna Forest.
Two centuries ago, the Pedrarruna Forest was not protected yet by the iron rule of not cutting a single tree of the forest.
At that time, a few people who lived in Elffire City decided to build a temple for the Tinuviel River inside the forest.
This temple was beside the river, and it was one of the most beautiful buildings in the city.
Years later, this temple became a protected property of the country.
Tourists came here often to admire the beautiful building and the beautiful scenery of the river and forest.
From there it was possible to see the crystalline river coming from the mountain range at the horizon.
Arthur and his crew chose this place to be the location of the wedding scene.
When Nomura visited the place, he knew it was the perfect place for the wedding scene.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut the problem was that this place was even more protected than the Sunshire Stone Bridge where they filmed the sunset scene of Moonlight's first music video.
There was only one way to arrive at the temple, it was if they were accompanied by a guide and with permission.
But that was only the case if they wanted to just visit the temple.
They wanted to assemble a wedding there and film scenes!
It was almost impossible for them to be allowed to do that.
But there was only if they asked themselves.
Ayia was someone with multiple contacts.
She didn't even have to flaunt her family for her to get the permit.
When they realized who she was, they speed up the procedures and got her the permit.
But obviously, there would be people accompanying the crew to make sure that they did not damage the temple of the forest.
They would be watched at all times.
But that was already enough for them, they did not want to damage anything anyways.
"The only uncertainty is the weather, again." Nomura commented.
The other sighed in worry when they heard that.
Once again they needed the sunset light to shoot a scene.
The wedding should happen during the sunset.
That was also one of the reasons that they chose the Tinuviel Temple to be the location of the wedding.
There the sunset would descend in the most optimal position.
Over the forest and the river.
They were sure that it would look amazing on camera.
"The weather forecast says that there is a chance to happen a sunset today. Let's just hope we are as lucky as we were before." Arthur shook his head.
The others nodded in hope.
"Okay, let's start working. We have a long day ahead of us." Arthur smiled.
The production would not stop.
Would they be able to film something as good as the first music video?
