“Dorule” is the first music video created with TALO’s current team, making it a special milestone for us, especially since it followed our first-ever giveaway.
“Outro (Dorule)” closes Stefxn’s album, our giveaway winner, and it’s also his most honest track. It carries weight yet feels calm: a song about the longing that lingers after something ends. It’s both closure and the beginning of a new quiet.
Concept
Director Andra Salaoru built the narrative through three angles: Stefan’s detachment and acceptance, Diana’s shift from hope to despair, and the TV as the bridge between their worlds.
Look & Feel
We mixed wide shots with tight frames to mirror Diana’s emotional swing. The visuals are slightly grainy, natural, and driven solely by sunlight.
Stefan’s studio shots take on a VHS-inspired aesthetic: static framing, subtle zoom, and only the white backdrop in motion.
Technical
For the outdoor scenes, DOP Gabriel Chelcea used Thypoch Simera-C lenses (21mm, 35mm, 75mm) and a variable ND matte box to keep a shallow depth of field under harsh sun.
From our director, Andra:
”Music videos always balance magic and chaos, and “Dorule” delivered both. This project was rewarding thanks to everyone involved: TALO, Stefan’s team, Gabriel’s stunning shots, Gabriela’s strong edit, and Marieta’s final color grade polish.
Working with Stefan felt genuine and personal, especially since the song’s story echoed my own life at the time. Diana brought beautiful spontaneity on camera, Narcisa kept spirits high, and Andrei captured every laugh.
I’m proud of how it turned out, but we’ll let the audience decide.”
A word from Stefxn:
”Thank you so much, it was so wonderful working with you, guys! Thank you for everything!”
