Every key moment, with the real clip, on its line
Hi Narin, I went back to your storyline line by line.
Before I buy a single clip, here is every key moment of the film with the real footage I plan to use, placed on its line in the song. The lines you marked are marked here too, with a gold frame.
The pictures are library previews, so some carry a watermark. The film itself will be 4K.
Tap any picture to watch that clip moving on the library’s own page.
Intro · from 0:00
“We are flying. Over a city, low, then rising, then down toward a large house with a tree in its grounds.”
One long, slow flight with no cuts, so you settle into the air before anything happens. The last shot of the film mirrors this one.

See the clip on Artgrid ↗Down to the house by the water, and its tall tree
Verse 1 · from 0:12
“Keep this section earthbound and contained. No aerials here.”
Tight, indoor, no sky. His household runs around him, his things, his table. Then the crumb, then the news, then the bird leaves.
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Haumain meri na milan denda
My ego does not let me meet You
White gloves set his table
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Daat teriyan naal judiya rehnda
I stay attached to Your gifts
His watch, his cuffs
See the clip on Envato ↗Sab mera mera mann ae kehnda
My mind keeps saying: it's all mine
The pigeon drops to the table for a scrap
See the clip on Envato ↗It is driven off and flies
The hand that waves it away: not found as real footage yet
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Taahi duniya vich main dukh sehnda
That is why I suffer in this world
The news, on the first beat of the line. His face changes
See the clip on Envato ↗The bird lifts off
Pre-chorus 1 · from 0:59
“Tann, mann, tunn: here, seen from the air, they belong to the world rather than to any person.”
The first time we are in the air since the opening. Long holds, in the order of the words, never cut on the words.
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Tann vi tera
The body is Yours
Tann: rock and ridge, the body of the earth
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Mann vi tera
The mind is Yours
Mann: sky and cloud
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Tun vi tera
Even You are Yours
Tunn: river and forest, owned by no one
See the clip on Artgrid ↗The coast in gold
Chorus 1 · from 1:27
“People gathered together seen as a whole rather than as individuals. The small human gesture, then the enormous world.”
People praying together, cut against the biggest landscapes in the film. Long holds, never cut on the beat.
See the clip on Envato ↗A great gathering in prayer, from above
See the clip on Artgrid ↗The sun breaking over the mountains
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Tera tera tera tera
Yours, Yours, Yours, Yours
Folded hands against the light
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Rows of lamps being lit
See the clip on Envato ↗People gathered at sunrise, as one
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Temple bells
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Incense smoke in the low sun
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Light through the clouds over the forest
Verse 2 · from 1:42
“Same bird, same food, opposite hand.”
Back to the man, in the garden. The same bird comes back and eats from his hand. Then the office window at sunset, one unbroken shot across both lines.
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Bahar andar sab vich vasda
Outside, inside, You dwell in everything
Morning in the garden
See the clip on Envato ↗Jadon jagiya duniya vekh main hasda
When I woke, I looked at the world and laughed
The same bird eats from his hand
Real clips show grain in the hand, not bread
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Raat langhni hai, ghar jaana hai savera
The night has to pass; at dawn I must go home
High above the city, at the glass, sunset
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Chhadna ae duniya, ghar baar basera
The world must be left behind
Same place, same light: the day goes down over everything he owns
Pre-chorus 2 · from 2:29
“We cut straight from the city at sunset into the woods.”
The same three words, now one man. Bare feet, his eyes lifting, then he looks back at the city far below and walks on.
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Tann vi tera
The body is Yours
Tann: bare feet on the forest floor
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Mann vi tera
The mind is Yours
Mann: his eyes lift, stillness
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Tun vi tera
Even You are Yours
Tunn: the city, small and far behind
Chorus 2 · from 2:55
“Not to a building and not to an idol; to everything.”
He stops in the open and bows. Small in the frame, the land towering around him. The only moment he is completely still.
See the clip on Artgrid ↗He bows to the mountains and the sky
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Held long: a small figure in the mountains, from above
Verse 3 · from 3:09
“He is already in position as the line begins; we should not be watching him arrive.”
A different man in the same world, walking to the sea. At the water's edge his hands go up and stay up, then he turns into the sun.
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Aao kariye sachcha vaapaar
Come, let us do the true trade
Walking alone through the city, toward the sea
Katiye aavan jaavan baar baar
Let us end this coming and going
He rights a fallen plant and walks on
Not found as real footage yet
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Already at the water's edge, sunset
See the clip on Envato ↗Ral-mil kariye dilon pukaar
Together, let us cry out from the heart
Both hands up, a call
See the clip on Envato ↗Bakhsh deyo mere daataar
Forgive me, my Giver
Hands still up, he opens to the sun and the light takes the frame
Final chorus · from 3:36
“Big, big, big, then nothing at all, held far longer than comfortable.”
His hands stay up through every 'kya mera'. Then he runs into the sea, clothed, in slow motion, and goes under. The bird watches. Dark water. Dawn. The bird lifts off and we rise, like the opening.
See the clip on Envato ↗Tann vi tera
The body is Yours
He runs into the sea, clothed, with joy
See the clip on Envato ↗A speck against the whole ocean
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Under, calm, into the light
See the clip on Envato ↗The bird on the shore, watching over him
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Dark water, held long
See the clip on Artgrid ↗Sab Tera
All is Yours
Dawn. The same sea, empty and calm
See the clip on Envato ↗The bird lifts off the shore
See the clip on Envato ↗We rise off the water, like the first shot. Then black, then the title
I know you would rather avoid AI, so I am asking first. For these three short moments only, would you be OK with AI? I would make them super realistic and match them to the real footage around them, so they blend in and you won't notice the difference. If not, I will use the closest real clips, like the ones shown here.
