Project Overview
In December 2023, under Mayan Studios, I directed and produced “Mata Palui” — a cinematic music video for IZURI DIZZ ft. Sri Lakmal. Shot across Colombo, Galle, and Unawatuna Beach, the project visualizes the journey of heartbreak and longing through a story-driven narrative that complements the emotional tone of the song.

- Concept Development
- Lighting Director
- Art Director
I was deeply involved in every stage, from shaping the story concept to lighting design and post-production.
Style & Approach
The video was crafted in a cinematic and emotional style, with a short story sequence before the music begins to immerse the audience in the narrative. The coastal settings and natural backdrops added to the raw, heartfelt emotion of the song.
Highlights
- Story-driven introduction before the music starts.
- Emotional visual storytelling set against Sri Lankan coastal landscapes.
- Smooth gimbal shots combined with static tripod setups for variety.
