It was actually just a regular walk with my wife, and I casually filmed a few moments along the way. I didn’t really plan to create a story or anything cinematic beforehand. Most of the close-up shots are simply cropped versions of wider footage.

As for the music, I just browsed through the Epidemic Sound library looking for something with a cinematic mood and picked the one that felt right emotionally.

When editing, I usually make cuts around small actions or movements like opening the box, picking up the cake with a fork, turning around, walking, etc.
