nyle – let the beat build

Posted on: 29 December 2009

Flicking through Vimeo’s Top 25 videos of 2009 – we can’t believe we slept on this. Flipping Lil Wayne’s ‘Let the beat build‘ – Philadelpha born rapper Nyle and a talented musical cast create one of the most visually and acoustically impressive things we’ve seen in a while. Add to this the fact that both audio and video were shot simultaneously in one take with the formidable Red One camera, and you have further reason for coolography approval.

Bruce Branit, owner of Branit VFX studio has created an award-winning short film with insights into how augmented reality and holographic technology could shape our lives.

Shot in a single day, the film took over 2 years of post production before completion. As well as being technically, artistically, and creatively brilliant, the short also manages to show an achingly tender human side.
