Music video for THE MONA PASSAGE by vagabond

Music Video for THE MONA PASSAGE instrumental track 'LAMENT FOR THE CITY'. The video was shot in Nevada during the day in Valley Of Fire State Park, and the dry lake bed just outside of Boulder City and at night on the streets of downtown Las Vegas. It was shot on a Red Epic in 4K.

The goal was to create a kind of vsiual tone poem for the song. In keeping with the title the daytime desert footage was color graded in vibrant saturated color and the nightime Las Vegas footage was graded to rich Black & White. The video tells a story of a man driving through the desert and back into the city where he wanders the streets filled with artifical lights and artifical people and ends with his return to the solitude of the desert.
