Reference: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DahjRX2t5Bc/. Original reel by @jyll.gillian, caption: 'I wish I had more cinematography skills to make a movie in this style.' Adapted the wish-format from cinematography to scoring/composing.
Concept
Adapts the "I wish I had more skill to do X with a beautiful moment" wish-format from a cinematography reel into a composer version: showing a striking visual moment and admitting the pull to score it.
Filming
- Capture one genuinely striking visual moment (light through a window, a walk, an ordinary scene that feels cinematic) — real footage Daix already has or can shoot in one take.
- Cut to Daix at the piano or with a score, humming or sketching a musical idea reacting to that visual.
- End on a short clip of an actual musical phrase being played or written, tying the wish to a real answer.
Editing
- 0:00–0:04: the striking visual moment plays silently or with ambient sound only. Text: "I wish I had more skill to score a moment like this."
- 0:04–0:09: cut to Daix reacting, humming, or sketching. Spoken: "So I actually tried."
- 0:09–0:15: show the real musical idea forming (piano, manuscript, or DAW). Text: "here is what it felt like."
- 0:15–0:18: play the actual short musical phrase over the visual moment repeated once more.
- 0:18–0:20: closing CTA card.

CTA
"What would you score this moment with? Tell me below."
Note
Original reel by @jyll.gillian used the wish-format for cinematography, not composing. This is an original adaptation, not a copy — no invented facts about Daix.
