Rooftop Tango
Two strangers on facing rooftops meet, dance and hold the final pose as the city lights up.
How it was made
- Tango music made first (120 bpm, accents every 4 seconds); the beat times were measured before any video.
- Cast plate and an empty rooftop plate, then six keyframes: meet, jump, hands, spin, dip, pose.
- Five clips from start frames; the hands beat is a still with a slow push, and the spin was re-worded at eye level after the safety filter blocked the first version.
- Cut on the measured beats: 4.1, 8.4, 12.3, 16.4 and 20.9 seconds.
What it shows
- Music first, then the cut: six beats, one shot per beat, every cut on the downbeat.
The key prompt
Modern cinematic tango, 24 seconds, instrumental, 120 bpm, strong clear downbeats for cutting every 2 bars (4 s): bandoneon lead, pizzicato strings, upright bass, snapping percussion; 0-4 s sparse intro; 4-20 s full tango drive with accents every 4 seconds; 20-24 s dramatic final hit and held chord. No vocals.
