A thought behind a lyric, a choice you made, an honest answer. Share as much as feels right.

Another moment in it
Return to a familiar location or detail from our videos. Make something new with what we already have.
Girls Like You — performing in and around your car, railroad tracks, driving. The Coda — liminal rooms, hallways, arches. Be a Man — outside in nature. Perhaps a rainy day edition.
Your winter shortlist
01 · Performance
Live Take
Any of the five songs · Solo & Together · 15 min
Set your phone on a tripod with an intentional, clean background. Sing one passage live, in one close, uninterrupted shot. Let the vocal be the first thing we hear.
Vocal performance · COLORS Borrow the vocal-first framing; use a quiet room and available light.
Why this: a direct way for someone to meet the song through your performance.
The simple setup
Phone on a tripod, intentional clean background, quiet room. Shoot on your own or together. Record three takes; choose the one that feels most present. Add one short lyric caption if it helps.
02 · Story
Behind the Lyric
Any of the five songs · Together · 20 min
Frame a short talking moment like a cut from an interview. Henry explains a lyric with the song playing softly underneath, then we cut to the matching performance in the music video. Keep the full post under 30 seconds.
Why this: connects Henry’s words to the music video, giving a familiar performance a little more context.
The simple setup
At Position studio, choose an intentional, clean background and frame Henry seated, looking slightly off-camera toward the interviewer. Use one camera and a mic for clear dialogue. Capture a natural 5–8 second answer about a lyric. In the edit, play the song softly beneath his voice, then cut to 10–20 seconds of the matching music-video performance.
03 · PerformanceTwo takes
Two Deliveries
Be a Man / Down For You · Solo · 20 min
Film yourself in tight, intimate framing as you perform the same passage twice: a subdued version, then one with more intensity. Keep them as separate options to test on Trial Reels.
Close-up performance · Zach Templar Borrow the intimate framing and simple solo setup; try two different levels of intensity.
Why this: gives us two distinct performance options to test on Trial Reels and learn which delivery connects.
The simple setup
One phone on a tripod or stable surface, one location. Keep the framing tight and the background intentional. Capture the same passage with a subdued delivery, then a more intense delivery. Keep the audio setup, length, and text consistent across both edits so the performance is the main difference. Test them separately on Trial Reels.
04 · Visual worldOne location
Revisiting The Coda
The Coda · Together · 30 min
A liminal-space performance that feels resonant with the music video. Find an empty corridor, stairwell, or quiet lobby we can easily access. Keep Henry small in the frame and let the space hold the mood.
Framing reference · Library 04 Borrow the relationship between a lone performer and the surrounding space. Our version moves that framing into a liminal setting connected to The Coda.
Why this: revisits the visual feeling of the music video through a new performance, with one location and minimal setup.
The simple setup
One phone or camera on a tripod, existing light, one passage on playback. Choose the location and wardrobe detail together based on the actual video. Capture a wide take, then a closer take.
05 · PerformanceSolo setup
Bedroom Guitar Performance
Down For You · Solo · 15 min
A casual guitar performance filmed at home. Prop your phone up, keep your guitar visible, and play one expressive passage from Down For You.
Bedroom guitar performance · Bella Kay Borrow the casual home setting, fixed framing, and visible guitar. August 4, 2026 · 121.7K likes observed October 12, 2026.
Why this: brings listeners into a personal performance Henry can record independently.
The simple setup
Phone on a tripod or stable surface, quiet room, available light. Frame your face and guitar together. Record a few live takes of one passage and keep the edit simple.
06 · PerformanceRehearsal moment
Stripped Back
Girls Like You · Together · 30 min
Try a stripped or alternate delivery using the accompaniment you already have. I’ll capture a close performance and one wider take in the same space.
Voice + instrument · Library reference 08 Borrow the focus on voice and accompaniment; one simple frame is enough.
Why this: offers another way into a familiar song, with the feel of being in the room.
The simple setup
A tight shot focused on something striking about Henry—his intense eyes, for instance. Use this as an opportunity to showcase his guitar playing, with close-ups of his hands and performance.
