Nimbusnine - So Deep (Produced by The Beatmonx)(Directed by August Espino)
"Black City 2050, while its fraud leaders are assembling to silence the remains of the rebellion movement, an underground faction is about to rise." These words, wisely chosen by Direk August Espino of Clayshop are still applicable to more than hiphop today. I remember Chano introducing me to him one day and had expressed to do a video for us. All I said was come to one of the Community shows, I will hand you the music and you pick which song you want to do. He came through one wednesday night and saw how the event was and told me he picks this song. Turbulence shot this video on a July weekend celebrating Nimbus' birthday with The Community. Everybody came through, people I didn't even know came in to support this vision of a video. You name it, they were there -- skaters, graf artists, women, heads from Batangas, Tuesday Troop, Mobbstarr, London Baby, Jonan Aguilar (who plays the bartender) and more.
There was an initial cut of this which had the background as ruins of Manila, which you could get a sneak peek off if you watch the trailer. But that version was lost when they're computer crashed. I remember August telling me the shot of the crowd with the N9 logo sparking took 8 days to render on a quad core system. And they had to buy it just to render this one. We launched this video late November of 2007 at The Prince of Jaipur, when Nimbus was featured artist of the month. MTV picked this video up but never got the airplay that it needed.
The beat was produced by The Beatmonx and appeared on the Philippine Phenom and will also appear on The Beatmonx CD coming out soon. Enjoy this one guys, and yeah -- which Nimbusnine song do you want to see turn into a video next? Let us know, we do keep all you say in consideration.
NOTES: August Espino won various awards as a director and a CGI visionary. He has also directed Young JV's "That Girl", and now he is doing tons of shows and graphics for MTV and is greatly taking care of Mike Swifts' Konektado DVD and To The Billboard THE MOVIE.
