Nada Surf shot their music video for “Electrocution” here in Brooklyn Fire Proof’s Studio A rocking through all four seasons in 3 minutes.

Director li Stonberg uses rear projection to make a world with aptly electric nature elements and a time-lapse sky in the background to shift colors and seasons. With a flower blooming and a burning orange tree swaying in the breeze one moment followed minutes later by chilly purples and snow “Electrocution” feels timely for our recent heat wave in Brooklyn.

Ready Set Music Vid à la Nutroaster!

tessa — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 16:10:07 +0000

Recently the Nutroaster played host to one of our favorite directors, Isaac Ravishankara, for haunting, compelling, monsters in black hoodies Ready Set music video. Issac, a BFP regular, used specially programmed lights which rhythmically corresponded to the music, and a set entirely constructed out of recycled material found round Brooklyn. But more importantly, there were also laser eyed zombies at a dance party at the end of the world. The video was produced by our own Anchor Light Productions, and if you look closely (and it’s the full moon) you can spot some former Nutroaster interns partying down. Before the zombies got them.

Good times were had by all and we look forward to hosting more of Issac’s shoots in the future! To see more of Issac’s work at the Nutroaster, try http://gotisaac.com/

New ‘Slow Poison’ Music Video by The Bravery

NYC’s own The Bravery recently stopped by The NutRoaster to work on a music video for their new song ‘Slow Poison’ from the album Stir the Blood.

The video was inspired by frontman Sam Endicott’s synesthesia- a condition that allows him to associate specific sounds with colors. Trippy, no? So is the vid!

The 2-CD set has 39 songs, 36 pages of photos and notes, and is packaged in a special double slip-case. Andrew WK partied so hard that he destroyed broomsticks, stuffed animals, loaves of bread and almost a real-life dog as the Nutroaster staff ducked and hid from ricocheted items.
