Kesmo - Il Quadro | Music Video
Riccardo Landi
The Concept
A minimalist, black-and-white music video for independent artist Kesmo’s track "Il Quadro," designed as a single continuous shot with a striking visual twist.
The Role
Co-conceived the concept with the artist and executed the entire production solo, managing cinematography, editing, and color grading.
The Vision
Set against a pitch-black studio backdrop, the fixed-camera setup relies entirely on the artist's raw performance to frame him like a figure inside a painting telling his story.
In the final moments, the visual illusion is broken through the clever use of a mirror, using a simple optical trick to reinforce the core themes of the song.
The Toolkit
Production (On Set):
Camera: Panasonic Lumix S1H
Lenses: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG HSM
