Red Scarves - Headlight (Official Video)

Directed and Edited by Kaity Szymborski
Camera: Kaity Szymborski and Ayethaw Tun
A note from the director:
"Headlight is the kind of song that hits home for me. The lyrics are ominous and the music brings the listener from deep apprehension to cathartic release. I love feeling like I’m being taken for a ride.
When the Red Scarves and I began working on the music video, we identified the moods, feelings, and themes first, letting those drive the imagery. We agreed that among other spooky visuals, the song evokes themes of feeling like you are being watched and followed. Our initial storyboarding sessions set the tone for my filming and editing choices.
I wanted my indirect shots to capture the idea of being watched from who knows where. It was important to me that the pacing of the video reflect the ebb and flow of the music. The lonely stretches of dark roads were key to creating a feeling of trying to outrun someone-or something. Huge thanks to the Red Scarves for handing me the reins to bring my vision to life 😁"

Lyrics by Braden Poole
Leave all of that behind me
Just far enough to hide me
Glide on down the road
What's more I can't explain
This pain behind my brain
The acid will corrode under your
Headlight
The signs all seem to say
You're headed in the wrong way
The grey lights flash and dim
And I can't stop them
It's not my problem
I wish that they'd all break
Just like your...
Headlight
