Monako – “Scared of the Way I Move”: Music Video Series in Brandenburg

The three music videos for the album “Scared of the Way I Move” by Monako were a one-week shoot in Brandenburg. The series creates a cohesive visual world, combining nature, movement, and emotion to expand the album on a cinematic level.

The idea behind the series

The concept is built around a continuous visual narrative running across all three videos. It explores themes of change, inner tension, and the balance between control and release. The environment acts as a reflection of internal states.

Visual language & look

• • The visual approach is calm, atmospheric, and cinematic:
  • Natural landscapes as the central setting
  • Soft, often diffused lighting with subtle contrasts
  • Slow camera movements combined with fragmented details
  • Wide open spaces contrast with intimate close-ups, creating a layered visual dynamic.

Direction & storytelling

The three videos are connected but also work individually:

• • Recurring motifs and locations
  • Focus on movement, physicality, and presence
  • Minimal narrative, leaving space for interpretation
  • The storytelling is intentionally open, driven more by mood than by plot.

Production & setting

The one-week shoot in Brandenburg allowed for a consistent and immersive visual identity:

• • Use of diverse natural locations
  • Reliance on natural daylight
  • Emphasis on stillness and isolation
  • The environment plays a key role in shaping the overall aesthetic.

Visual impact

The combination of landscape, emotion, and minimal direction results in a cohesive cinematic series. The videos feel quiet yet intense, translating the mood of the album into a strong visual experience.
