The Heart, She Holler

tessa — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 16:25:30 +0000

Blood flowed like murky swamp water this summer at The Nut Roaster as we hosted the production of Adult Swim’s Southern Gothic miniseries “The Heart, She Holler.” All summer long we wondered what was going on with all the elaborate wigs, various kinds of taxidermy, & plethora of crochet work. The show premiered on November 6th and we finally got to see what it was they’d been up to……and it turned out stranger than we could have possibly imagined. And that’s how we love it.

Eve to Adam- Run Your Mouth

Rock band Eve to Adam released their album Banquet for a Starving Dog this summer and with it they also released their music video for “Run Your Mouth.” Shot here at the Nut Roaster, this high energy video turned our stages into a concert venue/interrogation room. Thank you guys for bringing a little law and order and family values to our corner of Brooklyn.

Check out what Taki Sassaris and Alex Sassaeis from Eve to Adam have to say about the experience.

Great Tiger-3D!

Yesterday Grier Dill of Great Tiger graced us with his presence and unveiled Great Tiger’s latest visual creation! “Videodrome” was shot here at BFP with the help of some of our creative staff members, was given some very tender loving care from Grier himself, and has now EXPLODED onto the interwebs in glorious three dimensional awesomeness. Hopefully you have those 3D glasses from your childhood cereal box still safely locked away in your keepsake shoe box like me. If you aren’t a hoarder you can still score a pair by to going to their show on September 9th at Glasslands! In the meantime check it out anyway because it still looks pretty good in regular ole’ 2D.

Austra

If you have not had your ear drums tickled by this band you are missing out. Austra’s magical Toronto trio is made up of Katie Stelmanis (vocalist, pianist), Maya Postepski (drummer), and Dorian Wolf (bassist). Their recent album was released May 17 and they chose Brooklyn Fire Proof as the venue for their music video! Directed by M Blash (Lying) the video for “Lose it” takes place in an almost bare room and is both surreal and playful. Check it out below and look at their tour dates as they are set to play in Brooklyn on 10/6!

Some of you may have heard of Tyreke Evans of Gunning for That #1 Spot or of Sacramento Kings fame. Well we at BFP got a chance to witness his all star skills when he came down for a VBlast commercial earlier this summer. Here is a behind the scenes look at Mr. Evans heatin’ up the greenscreen, directed by Charles Nordeen with music by Twenty Three.

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!

They may have extinguished the torch on the 2010 Winter Olympics, but if you want to see some more fabulous figure skating, the Sundance Channel’s Be Good Johnny Weir is still burning bright!

The NutRoaster recently hosted Johnny and company’s promo shoot for the new show, which even included the construction of a whole indoor ice rink in our studio!

Hot News, Cold Souls

tessa — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:00:19 +0000

If you haven’t yet seen Paul Giamatti’s new feature film, Cold Souls, definitely check it out. In theaters now, the film explores one actor’s journey (Paul playing himself) after he discovers a company that allows him to store his soul indefinitely in a jar, and go soulless or even rent the souls of others. We had the pleasure of hosting the shooting of Cold Souls here at the Nut Roaster studios, and are thrilled about it’s release. Enjoy!

Last week we did a catalog shoot for Kaight’s. Over 25 costume changes led us into the wee hours of the morning, but you can see by the photos it turned out really well.
