“Planet B” by Berthold Garstenauer featuring Bina Blumencron is a powerful German-language song confronting the global environmental crisis and humanity’s impact on our planet. As Director, Director of Photography, Editor, and Colorist, I had full creative control over the entire project, shaping the visual narrative to reflect the song’s emotional depth and urgent message.
Project overview:
With a poetic yet direct narrative, the song by Berthold Garstenauer featuring Bina Blumencron explores themes of loss, responsibility, and the irreversible consequences of human impact on Earth. The visual concept was designed to reflect and amplify the emotional depth and message of the song. The project included the offical main music video in 4K, as well as three CutOut-clips for social media.
