LET ME COOK by Black Biceps was created as a bold and playful Eurovision 2026 music video built around one strong visual concept: the performer becomes the main dish at the center of a surreal dinner table.

The entire video is driven by an overhead perspective, with guests eating, moving, and performing around the table while the camera observes the scene from above. This simple but striking idea allowed the project to combine comedy, food imagery, choreography, and music video energy into one visually memorable format.

Shot on a Blackmagic camera with Angénieux optics, the video was designed to feel colorful, graphic, and slightly absurd — turning a dinner setup into a full performance space. As Director of Photography, my focus was to make the top-down concept feel dynamic, precise, and visually rich throughout the entire production.

The biggest challenge was executing almost the entire music video from an overhead camera position. Because the concept depended on symmetry, timing, and movement around the table, every element had to be carefully planned — from the placement of food and props to the choreography of the guests, waiters, and performer.

The camera was mounted on a large crane system, allowing the production to capture a clean top-down perspective while maintaining flexibility in framing and movement. This required precise coordination between the crane setup, camera team, lighting department, art department, and performers.

Another major challenge was building a visually rich table composition that would work from above. Food, plates, hands, costumes, subtitles, and the performer’s face all had to remain readable within a single graphic frame. The result is a playful, high-concept music video that turns a simple phrase — “let me cook” — into a fully designed visual world.
