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/

Kid Cudi and the french team MEGA FORCE shot a beautiful video here in the fall that disapeared from the radar a few months later, when an entirely different video debuted. After rumors and lots of anticipation, the original video, shot at The Nut Roaster has officially debuted, and we are proud to say that it is our favorite of the 2. After all, it WAS shot at Brooklyn Fire Proof..

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!

MachineDrum music video shoot

This week at The Nut Roaster, we had an awesome video music shoot for MachineDrum’s new single “Late Night Operation”,

directed by Collin M Palmer

Here is what the director, Collin M Palmer had to say about the music video; “When I was asked to listen to the track “Late night operation” for consideration of a video in Jan of 2009, MachineDrum and I had just finished the art work for his new album “Want to 1 2?”. MachineDrum had recently talked about how amazing the Detroit new dance show was (Detroits version of soul train but much more low brow). He and I then started finding videos and other low-fi things along the same lines as a laugh to share with each other, while also referencing them for video projects. We agreed on how well this show represented a movement in a ridiculous but funny way. As we went through all these videos we started to be inspired by them. when i developing a outline we wanted to have a dance party but not have it be this typical jay z hip hop video feel of “look how bling bling we are”. We wanted the video to feel as low-fi as possible, while maintaing a borderline serious/comical vibe to the dancers, really almost making fun of serious dance parties. I wanted to keep the direction of what MachineDrum was representing with the cover/art direction that was chosen for the record since this is the first single off the record. The psychadelic nature of the cover is represented in the fluid that the dancers share. We shot a teaser video (http://vimeo.com/3963407) in the Spring for the video that was based on two kids in the video passed out after they left this party,(the late night operation main video). We are all super impressed by how this all turned out. Shooting at The Nut Roaster was super easy thanks to the wonderful staff and PA’s that were on hand.”

The third one was directed by Jonathan Gershon and produced by afro Terry. The band, Versa Emerge, came through NYC on tour.
